Value is not improving
The on-line subscription product is too expensive, and there are far too many suggestions of upgrade/review opportunities.

Handy dandy but poor value to do tax basics
TurboTax is convenient for importing tax information and for navigating around the basic menus. Requiring TurboTax Premier in order to handle investments has been an unacceptable upcharge this year. This product doesn't offer good value if all you are doing is entering basic T slips information and basic tax activities.

Frustrated
If you have a simple return, TurboTax is great. If you have a more complex return (and upgrade to Premier), it is more complex. It is difficult to detect errors in the returns because there is no drill down capability. It takes a long time to review the return for accuracy. You basically have to run a parallel spreadsheet to make sure the results make sense.

Annoying
The data entry was very annoying. Very few questions per page. Very chummy tone, almost condescending. So many clicks for so little information entered. This really took away from the process and was a detriment to actually doing my taxes.

Disapponting
Turbotax has a known bug in the education tax area. Forces you to mail in your income tax. This is disappointing and the fact that they are aware and haven't fixed it is concerning.

A couple more forms? $40 please.
A basic return with a couple forms for some small online investments takes it from a free service to a $40 service. Then, to add to that they try to upsell you again at least 6 times during the return process. Also there's questions about my spouse's net income... and she needs to know mine... yet neither of us has completed our return. How are we supposed to provide this information??

don't like the online version
i've used this software for years and its still easy to use but this was the first year i've had to use the online version as opposed to either using a CD or downloading the software. For some reason it charged me for 2 returns (I think) whereas ive never had to pay that before. Also, you can't view forms in the online version.

Could be better
T1135 functionality is as poor as paper filing/completing manually. Surely, asset/investment rollforward functionality can be incorporated. Also, the assets should be organized/presented for each spouse separately and then joint accounts - it's simple a laundry list akin to the phone book - very painful to use.
Foreign Income - rental income should have foreign address not Canadian address as described in the software.
Foreign Income - why would you allow the entry of capital gains/losses in a foreign slip and than require again later on under disposals just to force someone to delete the original foreign slip with the capital gain/loss reported to avoid duplicate reporting. Inefficient/poor design.
Would be amazing (i.e. meet basic expectations) if T1135 would carry forward interest or divs and cap gains into the determination of taxes.
Med expense - every year it says to cfwd the med expenses - every year I delete them all only to see my proposed refund decline and then I guess with trial and error which ones to re-enter. Room for improvement.
Would be much better to have a table of contents with the tslips or at least major summaries that are easier to access from the table of contents - always hunting and pecking.
Review process - I'm frustrated by the number of sales pitches to upgrade; I'm also frustrated that I seem to go through the review cycle 4 times for no apparent reason - in particular when I don't select the upgrade option.
Moving expenses should cfwd each year until a new income source is available to utilize. The software seems confused by this. Perhaps a simple confirmation that cfwd will continue until new income and related conditions are met.
the best price for the software should always be offered to returning customers not through gimmicks or other promotions.

Premier Tax
I used to buy Turbo Tax Basic with an activation code for 8 returns for $35 that worked on a MAC
Now forced up to Premier, but cannot find a Turbo Tax Edition for multiple returns with an activation code that works on a MAC.
Gone from paying $35 for 6 family returns to $35 for each one. 4 of them have minimal tax receipts.

I am a retired person, and you kept asking for a T4 income slip. I had to hunt for the T4A (P) and OAS, because you did not offer that up as an option automatically. I would like you to ask if people are retired, and then remove that T4 and replace with the T4P and OAS instead. This was an aggravating experience. Please make it easier for retired people.

Unfortunate packages
The product works great, but the new pricing did not work well for me. I had a single foreign investment with total investment income for the year worth less than the cost of the required upgrade to be able to enter the info into my return due to the paywall.

The frequent options for upgrading were confusing. I inadvertently upgraded to bundle and could not edit it at the end without starting a new file. Thus I had to pay for 2 plans.

In this year's version of TurboTax, the software automatically forces you to use the Premier version of the software if you have investment income. In my past 15 years of experience, the added features of the Premier version are not necessary.

I have always used Intuit Turbotax but I was upset to have to upgrade in the middle of the process to the more expensive program to be able to add my wife's profit sharing. The profit sharing was a small amount but the up-cost of the program was significant!
