Strengths: Overall, the interview process is intuitive. It's much more user friendly than TaxCut, although, in truth, I haven't used TaxCut for several years. So I don't know if it has improved.
Weaknesses: Occasionally, I find it difficult to track down the source of some amounts automatically filled in by the program, particularly from the previous year. And I can't change them.
Summary: After a learning curve of how TurboTax manages input amounts, I can move from the interview to the forms and back again without too much hassle. I like the look and feel of the program, and the interview process is fairly straightforward and easy to understand. The questions, unlike the forms, are intuitive and user friendly for the most part.
I still haven't gotten the hang of how the interviews don't follow a particular form. Instead, the program gathers information in its own way and places that info in multiple appropriate forms. It seems the gap between the interview and the forms has grown in recent years. It can be irritating to have to go through entire sections of the interview again to find or fix a problem on a form. If I don't already know the name of a form, I find it difficult to search for it.
Since 179 depreciations are so important to the self-employed, why not help us find and make those entries better in your Home & Business version. And just because I work from an office at my home, why do I have to pay the highest price for TurboTax? It costs too much.
