I'm a retired tax professional (IRS Enrolled Agent). I like Turbotax. I have used Intuit ProSeries and Turbotax for about 30 years. Turbotax has every single feature that I have ever needed in my personal tax situation. I have a quite complicated personal income tax return that almost anyone could prepare using Turbotax. A tax return similar to mine would cost over $1,000 to have a tax professional prepare it, and even though professionally prepared, you can't be confident that it is complete and accurate. For less than $60 and a bit of time I know my taxes are prepared correctly and I can do them on my schedule. As an aside, if you have anything other than a simple W-2 tax return, after your taxes are ready to file, save the program and tax data to a thumb drive. That way, if your PC should crash before the next tax season, and you haven't yet backed up your disk, you won't have to manually enter data from prior years before you can do the next year's return. Ask me how I came to do this religiously.Read full review

I have used TT for over ten years. This 2016 version was the least user friendly that I have used as far as data input. It may have been related to my major problem that 2016 Premiere would not retrieve data and information from the 2015 Premiere Tax return. Both were the CD ROM version and not the on line. Even though I could find and print, the 2015 tax return, 2016 could not. After talking with two TT customer service reps, neither could solve the issue. Ended up manually reentering all the data including, loss carry over, depreciation schedules, accumulated depreciation, etc. I am sure there had to have been a way to retrieve that data if the 2015 premiere would load and entire 2015 tax return could be brought up. the first person I talked to was pretty sure that the rep he transferred me to would be able to fix the issue. The 2nd person did not seem to care if he solved my problem or not. If there was an software error in how the 2015 version saved the data or in how the 2016 version retrieved it, no one admitted it. Will shop around for a different solution to file my 2017 taxes.Read full review

I have been using Turbo Tax for a dozen years with no problems. I love the "It's Deductible" module that is included. It allows me to deduct many items that I have donated to a local charity with ease. Stocks and bonds are handled easily, too. We have rental property that are owned by partners. Before Turbo Tax I had to go to a tax preparation office to have the taxes completed - now BAM they are done. I like the carry-over features, also. Tom

I've been using TurboTax for 20 years, and have many years experience in owning a few rental properties. TurboTax takes you through each step if you need it, but after several years of using the "guided" version, I now simply go to what categories that I know are mine. Also, if you have a question on any topic, you can get further explanations. I tried one year, about 12 years ago, but the translation between TurboTax previous year's assets and the other software, was NOT AT ALL do-able. Landed up buying the TurboTax for that year as well. I will never go to another.

Very good product. Really like the way it imports the prior year's return (as well as brokerage house information) to cut down on tedious and error-prone manual transfer of the information. A little more effort needed the past two years to navigate back and forth from the program automatically guiding you through the forms to manually selecting and entering on a form. But overall a great program for someone with investments.
