Easiest filing experience ever
Turbotax made the process super easy. Asked questions to find the most deductions and breaks. When I was unclear on things, I got live support by professional CPAs within minutes. Overall easy and great filing experience.

Much easier and faster than a service
The live help and expert review is good as well as the offers to add protection and upgrades. Makes it more specific to the user instead of wasting hundreds on simple returns.

Incoherent Flow
I have used Turbotax to file my returns since the days when the software came on a set of 3.5" floppies I ran on my IBM PC. I have continued to use Turbo Tax software for 20+ years. Last year, 2018, I used the online version for the first time.
In the past three years (2016, 2017, and 2018) I began to notice the quality of the product has deteriorated greatly. The flow of the guided steps is confusing and incoherent. Many things did not flow logically. The verbiage used is also not to point. I purchased the additional CPA review and guidance and used it twice - both times I did not think it was very helpful. They basically sent me the links to info to read on my own.
I filed 2018 extension on 4/15/2019. I did not receive any confirmation whether IRS accepted my submission. I assumed it did. In Oct. 2019, I logged back on to my Intuit online account and it scared me to not able to find any record of my federal extension. I had to get online chat to -- again, got links that I could not find myself through the Search function within Turbotax but the Chat person was able to find and send to me. The entire time the Chat person was not very serious and was literally giggling. Oh my, I am not sure I will use Turboxtax again for 2019.

Good for tax preparation
I have used Turbotax online for 2 years. I like the ability to import 1099 information and E-file. I find it a bit difficult to maneuver in the software to find where I need to go. Would also like to be able to print data entry worksheets and supporting schedules to see the detail behind the summarized numbers on the return. Would also like to easily be able to print and review a draft copy of the return as I go and not have to wait until the end.
