Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not as easy as prior years 1099-B required manual additions to 172 entries imported from J.P. Morgan to indicate sale category, and were listed in random order (dates mixed up, short and long term gains mixed up, funds mixed up). Required searching the paper 1099-B for the correct transaction, clicking through 3 more pages of questions, scrolling down to next entry, repeat ad nauseum... Response from the "Employee Tax Expert" on the support forum just repeated the help file, which called for summarizing and then filling out another form with all the transactions and mailing it - which kind of misses the point of importing data and e-filing. Did not need to do this the past two years. Not happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Turbo Tax helped ease the process I had trouble in the beginning but with luck after filing this review it will be accepted by IRS which it hasn't been so far

Rated 1 out of 5 by from review is very cumbersome turbotax identified an error but did not give any ability to fix it. it was a circular pattern of review, error, can't fix. very very frustrating. i will try to find a better tax prep program next year. turbotax gets worse every year. I used it for the last 15+ years but i think i'm done. beyond frustrating. i do not recommend turbotax

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Getting very expensive I have been using turbo tax for a long time now. I am not sure I can justify spending almost $100 where I could use another software package for what it does. I notice that in some cases I need to enter information twice as when filing federal and Illinois taxes. I had to enter bank and license information twice. Why not just give the option to use the previous one already entered?
