I've used turbo tax for many years and enjoy its ease of use. It's become a little harder now that we have kids in college. There were several questions and answers about how to input the data for the 1098-T and I still had problems with that. I believe if you can follow instructions and have a basic understanding of taxes, most people can perform.

I guess the PC version works fairly well. However I have been using the MAC version. I save the final return and it shows saved but the next time I try to open the “Saved” return it does not open. And the next time I buy a new Turbo Tax it cannot import last years info. PLUS when you try to fix errors caused by NOT having last year. Unlike the PC version you cannot just click “VIEW” and go to the form and enter the correct numbers. Next year I am going to get the PC version. I am really Really over this stupid Mac version. It literally is a bad program.

Programs was clear, clean, thorough and concise. We have use TurboTax for over 20 years. The one year we had to redo taxes (not this year), TurboTax helped us to refile and fix an error that we had created (not the fault of the program). Thank you for making such a user friendly product.

As usual Turbo Tax Premier flows well and explains questions. It's Deductible is also great. However, I never had confidence the information was saved as I worked through my tax preparation. Missed the save button and save action. Returning to my tax file was also not as easy as it should be. Downloading the information from a financial advisor is a tremendous time saver.

Problem occurred when I went from single to married filing jointly. Recently married and my wife didn't file last year. Entered zero for her AGI, as per instructions. Program said I was ready to efile. Return was rejected because my wifes AGI of zero was rejected.

It's tough enough to audit Form 8949 transactions because personal records on Excel are not amenable to sorting into the same categories as reported from Financial Inst (FI). How can filer know what category A, B, C will be used by FI.? 1099s do disclose, but then it takes as much time to enter columns into Excel then do a sort as it takes to find a transaction, one at a time, to match TT sequence. Best I could do was sort by FI, by Stocks or Options, by Date of Sale. I found FI omitted stock transactions, split up qty into 2 transactions or combined 2 trans. into a single line. To correct, needed to post real situations, and delete bad data. Could not post correct transaction while in edit mode on TT FI's list, so entry showed up in Unknown Source category. TT Program kept trying to get me to download from FI again. Need to add button "any more transactions for this FI?" Then there was the problem of transactions that should have been filed on K-1s that had to be deleted once I determined which were duplicating the FI stock transaction list. Turns out that K-1s that were "final" would lead to duplicate capital gains/losses being reported. I don't know how TT can know which K-1s impact the overall gain/loss, but users need to be made aware by TT instructions that this is the case.

Turbo Tax is modern technology on steroids; it eliminates the annual horror of even thinking about having to prepare income tax returns. Using Turbo Tax is easy, quick, and accurate. The ability to save the file as varying PDF lengths is invaluable. Electronic filing is a breeze.

I've used TT for decades now. What surprises me is the number of Updates it pulls in - why? Are there that many tax changes from 2016 that you weren't prepared for? Next: I erroneously entered information in the IRA deduction section. Later during a Review - I received a curious warning that such and such form would not be ready until mid February. I went back spotted my error and deleted it. Yet every time I restart TT, it grabs the old information. Next, I get some warnings that Such and Such form needs information but there is no way to easily drill to that form to see what the reference is to.

HELP!! I am in an endless loop. Trying to file my Federal Income Tax with Turbotax Premier. I am down to the screen where it says Transmit Your Returns. --- When I press the Transmit Returnss Now button I get a screen that starts with We Need to Make One More Check. I then press the Continue button and get a screen that starts with Check This Entry. Schedule B -- Form 1099-INT (Charles Schwab & CO., INC): Cusip Number: Tax-exempt bond cusp number is invalid for Electronic Filing. You must enter a valid CUSIP number consisting of 9 alphanumeric characters Cusip Number followed by a box with VARIOUS inside the box. When I press the Continue button I am right back at the top of this endless loop. When I contacted Charles Schwab I was told after they did some research that the correct response the IRS wants on this line is "VARIOUS" They cannot find any kind of "9 alphanumeric characters" to place on this line. And that the problem must be with Intuit turbotax. Solution found after hours of effort Use the word VARIOUSSS. This should be taken care of by Intuit.

I file a trust tax return and have to buy premier to download 1099-B information for multiple transactions. I then enter data from those forms into the business version of Turbotax. It would be nice if it could download K1's from Business and then upload them into Premier.
