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 indicated earlier in the process that I did not have a W2 and was retired. However when I completed inputting my data the e-filing function would not work unless I input a zip code for my W2. None of the help topics covered that and I was unable to find any live assistance. I went back over my form and input the same things that I already had put in the form---that I do not have any W2s. For some reason repeating the exact same thing that I had in there in the first place allowed it to complete the e-file function .

TurboTax is THE best income tax preparation software out there, bar none. It could be improved if it included a better method to estimate the following year's taxes. It is not really setup to do that, and using it to do that requires overriding some entries and a separate spreadsheet for other things.

My wife and I are separated...for the past 5 years, I have played games trying to optimize our tax returns. We can legally file married joint, married separate, with or without either of us claiming HOH. We have 2 dependent children, so there are about a dozen combinations of how to file. Wish TT could take the basic info from each of us and give us the "best filing Status". Would also be nice to be able to file multiple returns without having to process and pay for each of them separately.

You could go on and on and expound on the attributes , or just say this simplifies the entire process. It removes the tedious time of researching and evaluating different options and choices to make on your taxes. Just get it, just fill in the blanks, and then go about enjoying the time and frustration that you don't expend. It is worth the price.

This is the first time for me to apply my tax return this year. At the beginning I doubted I could do it by myself. However, Turbotax guides me to process my tax step by step . Finally I got it done successfully. It seems quite easy not as hard as I supposed . Awesome Turbotax! I really appreciate it very much!

I have always loved and trusted turbotax. My only issues are that turbo tax is not backwards compatible and you are forced to upgrade your OS to run it. This year there was an issue on High Sierra where It would download the update but not install it, and every time, redownload the update at 240 something MB each time, totally wasting bandwidth. For Cable internet it wasn't as much as a concern as someone on a data plan using their phone as a wifi hotspot, all in all the program wasted about 2GB in total update attempts.

Been using TurboTax since before '95 because it's affordable, authoritative, convenient, detailed, and ease of use keeps improving every year. Variously used Deluxe, Premier or Home & Business during specific years needs be. Always the best value proposition for tax preparation software.

Always an easy way to do the tax returns, but this is the first time the program has repeatedly crashed at random points throughout the process. Not up to the usual Turbotax standards, but otherwise as easy to use as always. I'll keep using Turbotax but would like Intuit to take another look at their software quality.

I like being in control of my finances, especially regarding taxes (as much as possible) and TurboTax helps me confidently avoid the higher cost of a tax preparation specialist. And I get the added satisfaction of knowing I managed it myself. A lengthy process with much time and effort, but well worth it. However, like with most all software products, it's not perfect. I would love to see the deductions/donations and other pages not require the user to repeatedly scroll down to get to the next active button command. It would be much more expedient if that button always stayed at the top of the form. Also at the end, for e-filing, I had to enter bank routing and account numbers again for state after just completing that information 20 seconds earlier on federal.
