So many good things about the software. Everything generally works the way it is supposed to, although occasionally funny things happen. Recently, my interest income was double counted, fixed with Override. Some comments are obtuse but that may reflect obtuse tax rules. I love the e-filing.

My wife receives royalties from a gas well, so I need the Premium version to handle that. She receives a 1099-MISC form from the well operator. It took me a couple of tries to figure out how to answer the questions properly such that TurboTax went down the right path for those royalties. I ended up deleting that data and starting over. Because I went down a wrong path, TurboTax tried to create a Form 8919. It insisted that I provide answers, even though the form didn't apply. I finally figured out how to delete the form, which allowed me to e-file my return.

When I ran the final check on my taxes it required extra information for both my Business (I've never owned one) and for a Coverdell account (which I also have never owned). Next year I'm going with H&R Block since this is 2 years in a row that something has gone wrong that's taken hours to fix.

Another great product to help with my 2017 taxes. This was the first year that I had a stock portfolio with dividends and interest. Turbo Tax Deluxe handled it well, although during the review phase it asked me some questions that I believe I answered incorrectly about the origin of some tax deferred items. But it allowed me to file even when I did not know the answer. I have confidence after using Turbo Tax (I still buy the disk) because of its thoroughness with all the subject matter. Thanks.

TurboTax is easy to use and it is intuitive for me. I have been using it since it was Lotus 123 based. I like the availability of explanations and more information throughout the process and the error checking that TurboTax does. I don't think the Mac version is quite as good as the Windows version I used until about 2013. I would like for TurboTax to allow for more direct jumping from one area to another especially in the schedules C, E and F areas. That is one spends too much time clicking through areas, when a jump would be easier. Another improvement would be to make the change in view from form to easy step and vise versa to the same point in the return.

I'll continue to use Turbo Tax for the convenience of downloading data from brokerage firm plus having the previous year's numbers in the system. A complaint has to do with deductions. If there is a % of AGI that must be exceeded before taking a deduction state what it is at the beginning. As an example, don't have us enter all of the medical expenses and then after they are totaled tell us the minimum amount to get the exemption has not be met.

I had issues with saving the Return and coming back to it at a later time. A few times it saved different copies, and created multiple files. When I returned to Turbo Tax, it did not bring me back to the page that I previously worked on. I also had a hard time going back over data to make sure Turbo Tax had not missed info I submitted. It used to be much easier to work with, and recheck everything.

Have been using TurboTax successfully and happily for over 30 years, usually with Deluxe but occasionally with Premier. I am comfortable knowing that results are complete and accurate, and I appreciate the helpful guidance provided in Easy Step. The one disappointment this year was that for the first time it would not import my data from Its Deductible, resulting in having to enter all my inputs a second time directly in TurboTax.

I love that the software takes care of all my tax situations. I use a Mac laptop, and there are some places where I cannot get to the next screen. I learned to use fn down arrow to navigate, and that was't intuitive to me, but maybe we can blame Apple. When that doesn't work (this year in the final stages of filing), I wonder if I really completed everything. I have to go back and find a form to file by mail this year, and I suspect TurboTax, not user error, is to blame.

I didn't understand some things. The biggest problem was losing the information that I had entere. When I was almost finished an error popped up on the screen and TurboTax disappeared. When I restarted it all the info that had disappeared. This happened 3 time for different reasons and one of them was trying to find a way to save everything. I was so mad I turned the computer off and when I cooled off a little I went back to Start over again. Well when I restarted the the computer and TurboTax all my info was back. I should NOT have to turn off the computer to restart TurboTax.
