    As usual, there are going to be a number of negative reviews of TurboTax, some complaining about price, others about features or updates or installation problems. While no product is perfect, I personally think TT is pretty consistently a good piece of software at a reasonable price. Intuit (like many other companies) plays games with licensing and features and versions, which annoy me as much as anyone else, but that doesn't make the product terrible. BTW, if you have a tax situation that is more complex than you can handle, tax software isn't going to help you figure things out. You'll either need to educate yourself (books & IRS website), or find a tax accountant.

    As I do every year, I'll try to write a balanced review based on my own experience. Note that I've been a user of tax software for many years, and have in the past used the competition's products as well.

    Initial Review 6 Dec 2015

    This is my first report, which I will update down the road after I've made more progress.

    Initial download from Amazon and installation was completely trouble-free (Windows 7 64-bit). No problems with warnings, glitches, updates, or anything else. The only oddity (minor) was that after the initial updates it failed to automatically start the program, after saying it would. When I did start it up, it quickly found the various copies of my 2014 tax files (I save versions as I go, in case I make a serious error and need to roll back). Imports from the file I selected were clean and trouble-free. My tax situation this year includes self-employment income, investment income, foreign income (not just mutual funds), itemized deductions, college expenses, 529 fund payouts, and Roth conversions.
