Decommissioning of software
I was working on 2016 taxes --- was finished 3 or 4 returns and then suddenly over night the online software was not available! Would be nice if TT communicated updates with it's clients.
Other than the loss of several hours of work to recreate the returns on the desktop version all went well.

Thank you for walking me through to filing my taxes. I normally don't do it myself, but your program was helpful and easy to navigate. Will do it again next year!

Paid for itself plus!
Late again, no more envelopes at post office. Bought this just to get it in and almost exactly the same as mine only an extra credit I did not claim which paid for the software and then some. Very happy and was so quick and easy to use. Next year definitely skipping the old school and going with turbo tax.

10 years of using. Love it
I am a basic filer, filing since 1981. This beats paper, pencil, eraser & calculator any time. TT is so easy- it motivates a person to file and get it over with in 2 hours max (including a double check and print). I love that it can down load my employer T4 data. will continue to use.

Telephone Support the Best!!!!
I had a few problems with pension income splitting using the easy step method. The basic TurboTax does not include the optimizer and didn't seem to be updating as I increased the income to be split.
The support staff were very patient and helpful in solving the my issues!!!

I used the CRA auto fill option this year and wow, saved me a ton of time and all numbers imported from CRA for my T4 and RSSP contributions where exact as the forms I had in front of me...really only had to claim a few extra things so it was very easy to do with Turbo Tax.

I've used this program for the past 10+ years & have never had a problem with it. The ease of use makes it almost a 'pleasure' to use ... I say almost because it is, after all, a tax program.

Love turbo Tax Basic. That's all I need to fill my own and my wife's tax return.
Very easy to use and very easy to navigate.
Also, very much like how easy it is to go back to a particular field and change the amount if you made a mistake. Top Notch overall

Making Tax Return Enjoyable
The choice of allowing Turbo Tax to automatically direct the user to the various forms and documents OR to enter your data in the order you wish is a nice feature. A running tally of "income" and "tax owing" as items are entered is valuable. The ability to "what if's" allows the user to see what the affect of entering or deleting various items has on the bottom line tax owing.
