Turbotax 2010 – getting pretty good
By WPB Consulting
[I purchased the download version TurboTax Home & Business Federal + e-File + State 2010 [Download], but as this is essentially the same product, I am reviewing it here, too]
I have been a Turbotax user for quite a while, and have definitely seen a progression in quality and features of the Turbotax product. I remember last year, there were some installation issues for some. Turbotax 2010 downloaded and installed on my Windows 7 64-bit quickly and without issue. After executing the program, it immediately downloaded some updates and I was ready to get to work.
As usual, the State software is included free. This year, the integration with the State software seems even better. While the State download wasn’t available yet, it gave me options for notification and what the status of availability was.
There doesn’t seem to be many new features over last year, in fact, as far as I can tell, they don’t come right out and say what is new over last year. However, the ones that are there are very nice:
* The Live Community is integrated even more into the software and is a handy feature. It is context sensitive, so the most popular questions for each section appear when you enter that section.
* There is also a Flags section which allows you to easily mark sections to work on later, which has proven valuable when trying to complete forms for which you only have preliminary data.
* Switching between Forms and Interview seems to be smoother as well, and there seems to be several ways to navigate to exactly the data you want to work on.
* It seems to be all about options, for many areas, the software offers you multiple ways of calculating the data so that you get the best possible return.
* Finally, ItsDeductible is still integrated and is a great tool.
Tax software has a unique problem; the features are to provide the smoothest and fastest tax preparation as possible. So, the better they make the product, the less time I need to work with it.
I plan to update this review as I complete my personal/business returns.
** UPDATE 12/28/2010 **
2010 figures are summarized side by side with (imported) 2009 figures, which is very helpful in identifying data that you might still need to enter.
I found that the set of guided questions about entering home office information misleading. Once a home office is added, you must click the Edit button to continue entering more information or else your entry will be incomplete, even though there is really no easy way to tell. That button should be a Start/Update button as found in other sections.
Yes, it is still preliminary, but on the Final Review section it does indeed provide a list of forms that haven’t been finalized yet, and an expected due date for each. So you do have some idea of what calculations may change.

TurboTax 2010 Home & Business – Software Issues
By Johndavidc
I have used Turbotax for the last 6-7 years and have always liked the product. This year, however, I don’t believe Intuit / TurboTax did a very good job of debugging the software. It runs incredibly slow and tends to lock up for a few minutes (yes, minutes) when entering data into a data field. I have found a work-around in that after entering data, clicking on “file” or “view” (or any of the drop down menu’s) will force the information in the data field and allow to continue to the next section (irritating and ridiculous but at least it works…). There are also issues with some data fields not appearing and therefore, data cannot be entered (again, the workaround is going directly to the forms view and entering the data direct).
Hopefully Intuit will push an update that will fix these problems soon!

Super easy switch to mac
By Joann Howes
I’ve used TurboTax for about 6 years. It’s generally a great time saving product. Every year it gets slightly better but it doesn’t change much. When your situation is quite complicated you may need to do some additional research but this is always obvious when TuboTax fails to ask about something you’ve done. This has come up twice in the six years and I have always found out how to enter the information correctly with little complication. This year I switched from Windows to mac. I couldn’t be happier about the easy transition. I moved my 2009 data file from the pc to the mac. I installed TurboTax on the mac. I started TurboTax and it immediately found the 2009 file. Doesn’t matter where you put it on the mac. TT finds it and it’s 100% compatible. All my info was ready to go for 2010!
