Love Turbo Tax! Great interface and easy to use, Well though out explanations of sections when clicking the question mark or hyperlink to learn more about a topic.
Good overall. 2 glitches: 1 - IRS instructs to write “Rollover” near line 5b if appropriate, no way to do that using file; 2 - my state’s public employee retirement form 1099-R doesn’t have a box 16 but TurboTax would not let me efile without an entry. I used a work around found in an online chat room but that’s less than ideal. TurboTax should modify that data entry requirement.
I would have rated the program higher because basically it does a fine job of leading preparers through the process. However, there are too many advertisements for additional services throughout the process. As a CPA myself, I can maneuver the screens without too much trouble, but my elderly father finds it very confusing to be continually asked if he wants to upgrade his services DURING the tax preparation process. There must be a way you can stop the advertisements!!!
