- Has some weird bugs
This is my 3rd year doing my taxes with TurboTax.

I encountered some bugs with non-material stuff, but I didn't go and hand-check the entire return so I don't know if there would have been any material bugs that would actually affect the dollar amounts.

The bugs that I encountered were the following:

- When asking me for changes to my address which it imported from last year's return, it didn't provide phone numbers. One of those phone numbers had changed. Later, when doing the state taxes, it asked which phone number I wanted to use. At that time, it provided a choice of the old phone number but didn't allow me to update it.

- It seemed to import all the information from my financial institution OK and it reported the dollar amounts of the net proceeds and cost basis correctly. However, on the worksheet, even though the description said it was a sale of 50 shares, the quantity field said one share.

Little bugs like these make me wonder if all the math being done underneath is OK. I'm also worried that if you run the program in a different order, the results might be different. But who knows? With a cursory check things looked OK.

One thing that I was bummed about was that when entering the buys corresponding to a stock sale it allowed me to enter things in reverse chronological order (and in fact didn't prompt me otherwise) and yet at the end of the program when doing audit checks, it wanted me to reenter the data in chronological order. I didn't bother since it only affected a worksheet.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there are no material errors! Unfortunately, it looks like other tax products also have these kinds of weird bugs.

- Much easier than doing them by hand
I've been manually doing my taxes for the last few years. They weren't hard as much as time consuming. Turbo Tax turned an all day project into just a couple of hours

- Beware Mac users--secret e-file bug lurking at end
I bought the Mac version of TurboTax Premier, and I installed it on my Mac with OS 10.3.9. After doing my entire return, I clicked to e-file and received a message saying, "Could not load attribute," This error box gave me the options to continue (which just took me back to the e-file page, which led me to the same error message) or connect to Intuit online support. The Intuit support site said, "This error occurs when attempting to file electronically. If you are connecting through a router, try bypassing the router and filing again. If the error persists, it may be necessary to file by paper. We are currently working to resolve this error. . . . To be notified as soon as we have an answer, click here to sign up."

I don't have the technical know-how to "bypass the router." I also figured that if Intuit hadn't solved the problem by March 26 (the day I was ready to submit my return), they probably weren't going to, even if I were willing to hold onto my return until I'd received word they'd solved the problem. So I ended up mailing in my return. If I'd known up front that I wouldn't be able to e-file, I probably wouldn't bought the program.

- Not as good as last year for international income
This product works just great if you only have income from the US. However, I had income from outside of the US this year, and this software does not handle it well.

In the section for entering non-US income it got caught in some sort of infinite loop where it cycled me through the same pages over and over. The section for entering tax paid to other countries was very confusing and the help sections were useless. I realize that most people won't have to face these sections. But if you have to, be warned.

I am so uncertain that I entered things correctly that I am going to try H&R Block's free online software to see if that works better. Yes, I am going to do my taxes TWICE. I lack that much confidence in this sofware.

- Good
The box was not factory sealed, but the product works fine none the less.
