Good Product but some flaws
Great product but some enhancements are required. While answering the interview questions you have a tendency to put your paperwork together in that order, but, that's not the order you are requested to input it. When saving Turbo Tax gives you the message that it is printing but it's not, it is saving.

Suggestions for better use
One should be able to pick and print individual forms for us to review and maybe discuss with an accountant or adviser without consuming one permitted use of the software. This was possible before. Especially useful for small business owners. We don't want to be staring at the screen all the time while preparing our tax returns. The optimizers can be improved both visually and provide advice along the results. one should be able to import a list of medical donations from Excel or Word or a list of investments. Being able to retrace one's steps in looking at forms is helpful too instead of going all the time to the list of forms on the bottom bar.

I have been purchasing TurboTax for many years and each year I find it gets easier to use and is more user-friendly. I recommend it.

Slow-can't change font
I found the program real slow this year. I did not like the font either. It was too big. I tried to zoom in but it didnt work like they instructed.
I also had a problem when I first bought the program. There was not a key code attached to the program. It delayed me a couple of hours by the time I got it up and running. I do not have time for that. In the end it did work out.

In the Pension Splitting, on transferred to, enters split income in areas where should not be entered, and could not delete. Otherwise very good program. Easy to follow and easy to use.

tax knowledge not required
Just follow the prompts and the expert explanations and the software will do the rest. Best of all you can always go back as many times to fix mistakes.

Room to expand
Since I am moving away from Windows operating system in favor of Linux I would like to see a TurboTax version specifically for Linux or at least instructions on how to run on WINE.
For those not Linux savvy, WINE is a program which allows you to run native Windows programs on Linux. WINE is not an emulator such as VMware or VirtualBox which also requires you to own a copy of Windows.

Good
Very similar to last years version, but they changed the interface. It's seems cleaner, but not as intuitive and found it sometimes clumsy. The one bonus feature over last year is the simplicity with Nefiling. They have made it much simpler and quicker.

Love using Turbo Tax - been using it for years. Makes it easy to file my taxes. Only wish they had it for OSX, the software still only runs on Windows...

No MAC version
I am completely happy with the functionality except there is no MAC version and I refuse to do everything on-line. I have to spend extra money and time to run Windows on my MAC. Very disappointing.

Medical Expenses Confusion - Be Careful
I found a very confusing "bug": the medical expense optimizer and the medical expenses form (listing all the items) use DIFFERENT date formats... the day/month positions are different, making it very confusing and could result in loss of maximum deductions if one does not notice this when transferring over the optimizer's recommended start/finish dates for the 1-year period being chosen... ie., mm/dd/yyyy vs. dd/mm/yyyy... better still, if using the optimizer, it should set these dates automatically on the items form, instead of requiring manual entry

OK...but
Very good and easy to use software. The ONLY complaint I have is one that I've had for many years is that you have to change the display on your Windows desktop to "Medium". The program does not allow you to enter any values on the forms if you use "Small". Darn frustrating.

Turbotax 2014
I like the new NET FILE filing system. Very easy.
I am sorry Intuit decided to no longer support MAC OS applications on store bought Turbo Tax applications.

User interface
New look is nice. The filing portion is easier. The last segment of filing where you select to Netfile or print is awkward. The "Done with Filing" button is off the screen and you have the instant thought that you didn't complete something correctly despite receiving the confirmation on the previous page.
Otherwise it works well.

looks
The complaint I have this yr is the info about refund and what area you are reviewing is on the side and it takes up to much room. I prefered the yrs before look. Also your on line survey I did not complete as I could not enter certain areas and certain info you asked for was none of your business.

About time, no internet downloading, just finish the return, click the mouse and confirmation. That is easy filing.

My 5th year using your product. This year's edition seem a little bit difficult to use. First time to use the income and expense portion (using easy step) At the end shows only info re net profit; offers to edit options but nowhere to click what to edit. Finally discovered to use form mode to make edits.
2x got a message : turbo tax stopped working, Microsoft will close the program. Never had I experienced this before.

Autofill
It would be helpful if the program would autofill the patient name in the Medical Expenses Worksheet when the person filing his/her return has indicated the status as Single.

When using the Easy Step process, the pop up advertisments for other versions of TurboTac is somewhat frustrating. Suggest the ads be displayed prior to starting a return, and/or after completing a return.

I first downloaded Turbo Tax to a computer that is NOT hooked up to the internet. The phone connection worked fine, but the scripts didn't work. It was impossible to reach anyone on the phone for help! I then had to purchase another Turbo Tax and put it on a different computer which IS NOT what I wanted, plus costly.
