Why must I repeat the entry of W2-Gs from the same place?
What's not so great: repeat form entry

Non-cash Contributions
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: RonCPA
Non-cash contributions don't require that the original purchase price be entered for donations less than $500. Once I had already entered an amount, the only way I could get it out was to override it, which I did. However, when filing the return I was required to delete the override. The problem is that when I overrid it, it shifted the original purchase price from the next line and replaced my overide to that amount instead of blanking it out.

Good - Little Things Will Make It Excellent
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: Dgas96
Easy to use. Every year you use it, it becomes easier. But making the user search previous years information to input, when you have used Turbo Tax for many years is an irritation and in my view the one issue that prevents me from giving it an excellent rating
What's great about it: Easy To Use
What's not so great: very are a few areas where information from previous years taxes could/should be automatically entered
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

TURBOTAX SCORES HIGHLY AGAIN
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: HAPPYUSER740
OVERALL, I THINK TURBOTAX IS A GREAT PRODUCT. THE TRANSFER OF INFORMATION FROM LAST YEAR IS EASY. IT IS VERY EASY TO NAVIGATE AND FOR THE MOST PART PRETTY INTUITIVE. DOWNLOADING INO FROM FINANCIAL INSTIUTIONS IS QUITE EASY. ENTERING CONTRIBUTIONS IS CUMBERSOME. YOU SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO ENTER INFO AGAINST LAST YEAR'S LIST AND DELETE OR ADD NEW CHARITIES. ENTERING W-2 IS ALSO CUMBERSOME. MEDICARE WAGES SHOULD BE CALCUTATED BASED ON GROSS WAGES AND ADJUSTED BASED ON OTHER INFO ENTERED OR CORRECTIONS MADE. TOO BAD INTUIT MADE SUCH A FAUX PAS WITH THE NEED TO UPGRADE TO ENTER SCHEDULE D INFO. I ALMOST WENT TO ANOTHER VENDOR AFTER USING TURBO TAX FOR OVER 15 YEARS.
What's great about it: EASY TO NAVIGATE, ENTER INO AND RESOLVE ERRORS
What's not so great: ENTERING CONTRIBUTIONS & W2S IS CUMBERSOME
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Import Warning Needed When Entering Some Info Manu
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: MarylandTerps1
This year I decided to go out on a limb and import my stock trades from my broker. Prior to the section where the user enters long and short term stock sales, the user is asked to import/enter on their own, any dividends from a 1099-DIV. I entered these dividends manually, it was just one line item and easy enough to enter so I just entered it myself. When I got to the section to enter any stock sales I decided to try and import these from my broker just to see how well it worked. Incredibly in about 3 seconds all my stock trades were entered correctly. Later, when I was reviewing my tax forms I noticed a double entry for that broker with the same amount in Part II of Schedule B "Ordinary Dividends." I had mistakenly thought that when I was in the stock sales section of the Turbo Tax software and I was asked if I wanted to import info from my broker that ONLY stock sale info would be imported, not 1099-INT and 1099-DIV forms. So if a user manually enters any interest and dividend info from a broker and then imports stock sale info, the user will have double line entries for the interest and dividend parts of Schedule B. Unless I missed it, I think a warning should be put up to the user stating that if any info from that broker was put in manually and now they want to import some information, they need to go back and check those sections that were manually done to check for double entries. Despite this snafu (if it really is one), I love the program and will continue to use it. Keep up the great work!!
What's great about it: As always, very good, about our 8th year using Turbo Tax
What's not so great: Just a warning/reminder to the user about importing data from a broker

Problem with Portlnad Arts Tax
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: Bosgood
In do it yourself mode for deductions, there is no place for working on State and Local taxes. In order to enter data for "Portland Arts Tax", I had to make an entry for Multnomah County estimated tax. Then I made a note on the Schedule A worksheet that this was for the Portland Arts Tax.. There really should be two things done.
1. There should be a way to work on Local taxes.
2. On the drop down list for 2014 estimated local taxes, the Portland Arts Tax should be listed.
What's great about it: Most of return OK
What's not so great: Portland Arts Tax -- Dropping business forms on Delux
