From the above, I am not sure that my error report went through. I have reported the difficulty earlier and never received a response. In short, in order to claim a deduction, the Turbo Tax taxpayer is required to enter "purchase price" even though the collectible item was received as a gift. Obviously, if the item was received as a gift, there will be no purchase price!!! But if "zero" is entered as the purchase price the Turbo Tax software does not permit the taxpayer to claim a deduction.

All was good till the very end whereof they ask "How do you want to pay?" The should've said 'How do you want to pay US?' I'd already laid out how to pay my taxes but thought only of that as they ask as stated> "How do you want to Pay?" The choice is credit card or deduct from return and you are suppose to discern whom they mean when asking "How do you want to pay?"

I have used for at least 15 years, probably more but threw out old files so not sure. I have never had any issues and some of my returns have been quasy complicated regarding company stock programs, deferred comp issues, moving, stock valuations when sold, etc.

I found the NJ return incorrect to the point of needing me to override. The problem is caused by income in multiple states. Some PA income tax was withheld by the employer for no apparent reason and when doing the return it changed the NJ return by eliminating all NJ tax paid. There are other issues with NJ and PA local too. For the prices they should have got it right.

TurboTax makes filing a snap. The support is helpful and importing various forms is easy. There was a glitch importing from It's Deductible but the support community advised how to fix it and I was able to do so while on hold for phone support. Phone support was equally helpful. Not happy that I won't be able to use the disc next year because my OS won't upgrade. Not sure what I'll do.

I spent 3 days consulting with friends, family and accountants trying to figure out if I was eligible for Michigan's "Property Tax Credit". This could have been avoided if the TurboTax Michigan software asked a few simple questions in the very beginning. Like, "Did you pay property taxes in Michigan? What was the assessed value of your property on which taxes were calculated? (Please refer to your Notice of Assessment from the MI Dept. of Treasury).". The answers to these 2 simple questions depends on whether or not one is eligible for a Property Tax Credit in the state of Michigan. TurboTax MI does not ask these simple questions so you have to do tons of research to see if you are eligible or not. My brother also noticed there were many problems with TurboTax Michigan, including the one I just mentioned.

i was hoping that K1's and 1099 interactions and AMT calculations would improve year over year and still taking the high end version did not help. These areas of K1s , RSU's, NQSO, 1099's are still bad and worse then before. Not happy with any of them. Carry overs is problematic too.

Pension income from a foreign country (Canada). On the 1099R or 1099Div it has a box to check that this is from a foreign country. The company payer tax ID number obviously will not match the US format. The final check will not proceed as this number is missing on the form. So then per Turbo tax help you can only submit this income as 1099 Other with no supporting information

I just wasn't happy with turbo tax this year. Actually, each year as our taxes get more complex, turbo tax gets harder and harder to complete. There aren't very good directions as to what to put where. It never asked me for certain info I was sent and wouldn't allow me to input other info. I had to search the internet, because their help is basically useless. I almost lost $4000 because of the lack of clearness and how to put my information in. Thanks to Google, I figured it out.

When answering college expense deduction questions it can be confusing because sometimes it asks about expenses paid by your child/student, when what it really means is expenses paid by you (the parent). With the Premier version I was able to talk to a EA/CPA and get that sorted out. Last year I had the Deluxe version and ended up having to go to a local CPA because it was showing my incomeless daughter needed to pay thousands in taxes. The best solution would be for TT to clarify the questions and provide more extensive instructions and tips within the education-related questions. Otherwise, and overall, this is a great piece of software and value when coupled with the EA/CPA access.
