Review by Walk_the_walk

Don’t know why I shouldn’t expect this… more bugs again this year. Entered all our Wages and Income data from W-2 forms, Ameritrade 1099s, and a 1098 from the checking account. Entered the data perfectly and precisely.

Ran Error Check just now and it throws 12 errors. Starting with Line 12 items from the W-2, which it wants RE-ENTERED, as it thinks THEY ARE NOT THERE. Then it asks for Line 1 items from the Ameritrade 1099DIV, AS IF IT WERE NOT THERE, and then it asked for the 1098 info AS IF IT WERE NOT THERE.

Re-entered all the requested data, even though I KNEW THIS WAS A BUG IN THE SOFTWARE, and then it throws and error dialog message about a duplicate W-2 form and how I can E-file.

Digging into the Wages and Income section, I can see that the TT Premier software has now created a small DUPLICATE w-2 form, and a small duplicate 1099DIV form, both of which I have to DELETE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS BUG THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

And, at tax time is NOT THE TIME to find out that my expensive copy of TT PREMIER has bugs preventing me from completing an not-very-complex return. It’s a shame, too, as the software otherwise would have gotten perfect marks.

I WELCOME A REPLY FROM THE TT MANAGER WHO READS THESE REVIEWS ON THIS BUG AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING ABOUT IT.
