Rated 1 out of 5 by from Serious Error--Glad I know the tax code well. I sold a house last year, which I had owned for 14 years. For all 14 of those years that house was my only residence. The capital gain from selling it was about $160,000. TurboTax claimed that I owed federal capital gains tax on this sale. That's WRONG! I had to work around this issue. The IRS makes it very clear that if you've owned a house at least two years, and lived in it as your primary residence for at least two years, then the home sale capital gain exclusion applies. That capital gain exclusion is substantially more than my $160,000 gain.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Turbotax is terrible Too many issues: e.g. offers to automatically import documents but fails, asks for questions that are not availble in my tax documents, makes me repeat the same steps over and over, unnecessary pictures and animations that don't lighten my mood at all, etc.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Disappointing Omission Most of the wizard was straightforward and easy to use. Filing in multiple states very helpful. However, there was a side FAQ about using Form 8453 when filing electronically. The guidance never returned in the final filing sequence to explain how to do that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Frequent Flyer I've been using Turbo tax for at least 10 years. I've faced some tricky tax issues over this time and all were handled clearly and competently. I feel confident when I file my retrun that it has been done correctly.
