Disappointed
on April 15, 2015
Posted by: kibokogeorge
I have been using TurboTax for over 10 years and have always been satisfied. Over the last two years however, TurboTax has changed several key elements including what is included in the different packages. This year I bought the Deluxe as I always do only to find when it came tax prep time that the State was not included even though I paid as much for this Deluxe as I normally pay for Deluxe which has always included the State return as well.
Several things are no longer available in Deluxe that were included before and it is disappointing to say the least. It seems that you are simply forcing people to upgrade and pay a higher price to be able to do the same things. Next year I may use one of the other tax preparation software.

I've used the product for over 10 years. I have a somewhat complex return and have found that TurboTax is well thought out and makes it easier and quicker for me to file. My information comes in over a two month period. Turbo Tax allows me to work on the return piecemeal and I never have to wonder if I've missed something.
What's great about it: Well organized. Makes tax time tolerable.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

reinventing the wheel
on April 15, 2015
Posted by: VAbluebells
why must we reinvent the wheel ? The info was on the federal forms but not used....... It was xxxx out in state. When I tried to copy and paste, it would not allow that - had to retype definitely not the way the program should work.
What's great about it: transfered info from last year's return
What's not so great: transfered info but then DID NOT USE info from last year's return

Some great, some not.

Schedule D fiasco I think you already know the Schedule D fiasco was just that. I hope you'll be very public and open about what happens next year. I have used sched D for many years.
Free State filing I wish State filing was free. Who gets that money ?
Double-sided printer Being able to specify I have a double-sided printer would be nice. Forms could be printed double-sided and the next form would start on the next "front" page. Printing would be much easier and waste less paper.
Form 1116 Flow on Form 1116 did not seem to work correctly at first. Started in step-by-step and calcs were wrong. Try to fix by hand, no flow in form. Started over in step-by-step and it suddenly worked. It also cleared overrides made trying to fix it. Frustrating. Not sure if my problem or yours.
Copy text I wish I could select and copy text. Easier to search TTax and web for clarifications, and more.
What if calculator I often want to know the benefit of a deduction or the effective rate it saves at. I now have to note the tax/refund when a deduction is in, then remove $1000, for example, to see what change happens in both Fed and State. Having a worksheet that keeps track of those numbers so I don't have to note them elsewhere is something I have wanted for many years.
What's great about it: Complex calcs are a breeze
What's not so great: The Sched D fiasco and double-sided print and ...
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Real Mixed Bag
on April 15, 2015

I have been an enthusiastic user for more than ten years but my expectations were definitely not met this year. the password and perhaps encryption part of security don't seem to be well-designed. For example, I associated a password with my file last year. But I could import that data into this year's return without entering the password. When I tried to continue this year's return, the program often took me back to the beginning (to start a return) instead of asking me to log in and continue. Why not give users a few basic facts about security either initially upon use or in a brochure.? Very frustrating to "discover" these one by one. Any company can be hacked - these security issues are ones you have complete control over.
What's great about it: Interview format remains good
What's not so great: Some no-brainers missed. lots of problems with continuing where I last stopped.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
