worse than last year

This year seems to be much more confusing. We could not find the answers to some of the questions. Some of the lines made no sense.
Quick zoom did not work, our last years tax info did not completely get imported, and we got the K1 form not letting us leave without filling it out. Luckily someone was around to answer our question in the community, otherwise it would not have gotten filed.
Seems like a lot was invested to make it more complicated.

Turbo Tax Rocks!

This is an exceedingly easy program to use, except for going back and finding specific items. The last two years I tried other programs, and I have decided I will only use Turbo Tax in the future.

Best of the PC programs

Although I have used Turbo Tax for many years and have found that it is a very easy program to use after many improvements on their part, this year I found a real bad glitch. For some reason when I put in my estimated taxes for the year and the carry over from last year, it decided that I was divorced. This was news to me and also to my wife of some 58 years. We both had a good laugh but then when I tried to correct it the laughing stopped, since I could find no way to correct this by entering various social security numbers as suggested or in any other way. The only way around this was to do my entire return over again and the second try go me back to being married. Same data for the 2009 and 2008 data. Thus a real glitch. I also had trouble changing the state location for tax free interest as once it was entered it was very hard to figure out how to change it. Outside of this a very good vehicle to use for tax preparation.

I made an excess contribution to a Roth IRA. Thanks to T.T. I found out about this in time to avoid the 6% penalty and I withdrew the excess and interest earned before April 15th. It was not at all clear to me what to do then. Go back and remove the excess contribution from the reported contribution or what? The program should have asked me if I withdrew the excess before filing. Since I withdrew the excess in 2010 the IRA company will send the 1099-R next year.

TurboTax Fed made it easy

The program feels like a tool rather than a game or some endless adventure into tax accounting mystery software. All the serious parts seem to work the way they should. The forms are available anytime, but the guided tour really speeds things up, especially when you have mortgage interest, education expenses and other deductions involved.
The program worked flawlessly. I'd use it again.
