Rated 5 out of 5 by from TurboTax is easy to use to file taxes I have used TurboTax for a long time to file my taxes. It is easy to use and the process makes sure I am thorough.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Easier to correct errors from ambiguous questions. Errors pop up on forms that are unrelated to my taxes like child tax credit. I have no kids. or auto mileage deduction. I answered same questions before.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 1099K Instructions are confusing Like many people, I sell old stuff I don't need anymore on Ebay. I also sell guitars on Reverb. Both sent me a 1099K this year so I was required to file as if I had a small business when all I am doing is selling off stuff I don't need or want anymore. Everything is sold at a loss, nobody pays full price for used goods. The TurboTax instructions are opaque about whether I should consider the stuff I am selling as inventory or as good purchased. And the entire process of treating 1099-Ks as an afterthought covered in a pop-up footnote makes it hard to find how to deal with this new situation. Not to mention that the whole idea of taxing stuff that people already paid for once with after-tax dollars is ridiculous. But as long as Congress is going to require that we all treat ourselves as owners/operators of a small business if we sell more than $600 of our junk on Ebay, I think Turbo Tax has a long way to go in improving its discussion, instructions and data input for 1099K income. I've used Turbo Tax for my taxes for as long as I can remember and this year was the worst, took 3x longer, all because of the 1099K nonsense. Even your survey questions, below, ask "Do you own a business". I checked "No" as selling some old stuff on Ebay is not a business, I don't ever buy stuff specifically to resell. But the irony of your asking the survey question that way after the pain of dealing with 1099Ks is, indeed, rich.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I am a satisfied long time Turbo Tax user I have been using Turbo Tax since the early 1990's and as my tax situation has evolved over the years, Turbo Tax has evolved as well and made the process of filing my taxes easier while keeping me in compliance with the latest tax laws.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Going downhill They no longer provide CPA support on the download version so even if you have a software issue, the support staff doesn't understand the language enough to help!
