Not ready for Obamacare
on October 13, 2015
Posted by: Omahawkks
I have been using for TurboTax for decades, but each year the core product does less and the various "upgrades" are needed to do more and more of what should be standard in a deluxe product. it feels as though you are being asked to upgrade every 10 questions.
This year I had the first rejection of my return because the Affordable Care Act form 1095 isn't properly integrated into the final submission. I wouldn't rate the current version as low as I have except that when I tried to fill in the forms directly, I could not put anything into the fields.
Obviously, unless I am audited, I'll never know how many of the other forms are missing or incomplete. Fingers crossed that the IRS isn't interested in me. I really don't want to take advantage of the 100% guarantee.
What's great about it: Same step by step process I have been using for decades
What's not so great: Returns are being rejected because the new form 1095 isn't being properly linked
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

Turbo Tax Reileves My Mind
on October 13, 2015
Posted by: Heffalump1
I could never do my own taxes just with the forms because there is so much I don't understand. Turbo Tax walks me through and explains everything I need to know, asking me easy to answer questions that indicate what lines I need to fill out. Then Turbo Tax hands me the lines to fill in using my paperwork from the bank, my employer, etc. Most questions are just a matter of multiple choice. This approach is perfect for me, and I can't say enough about how satisfied I am with it.
What's great about it: Really like being walked through and having everything explained.
What's not so great: Nothing.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Turbo Tax
on October 13, 2015

Since the process leads throughout not sure how items on the forms come up empty and need completing during the Error and Omissions. Why? Results in reviewing the section to understand what needs to be checked off. Had a Roll-over and the distribution to be re-invested was not taxable. Had a 1099-R and the 5498 for the re-investment. The 1099 added to my AGI but there was no place in the process that asked specifically for a Rollover with a 5498. There was a question about a 5498 but it was in relation to another re-investment and not a Rollover. This is concerning as I think this will cause a red flag on my return. One should be washed out by the other. In my case it was not.
What's great about it: Considers deductions I would not oherwise remember or know.
What's not so great: Doesn't get it all.
Pros: I moved

I have used TurboTax every year since 2004 except for 2012 and 2013. In 2012 and 2013 I sold my home and had 2 rental properties in 3 states and decided it was getting too complicated for Senior me to spend the time on TurboTax.
Needless to say I love TurboTax and found that going back to it after two years was easy.
What's great about it: Very easy to use. Completed my return in less time than I could even dream.

The 2014 version is much improved over 2013. It is easier to work with than in prior years.
