I'm really baffled how TurboTax isn't testing the software flows, the calculations, and the filing capabilities of all supported products and features. I grew tired of spending 2 years being the tester of IT-2210A. It doesn't do me any good to test it anyways if no one is going to fix it or even acknowledge the issues after 2 years. And this year is even worse than last year. It's like TurboTax is allowing me to pay a lot of money for the privilege of testing their software, and then at the end of the day, I can't even file. I am yet to talk to a TurboTax expert that really understands annualization anyways. This year, I decided not to pay them. Instead, I decided to use the IRS's sanctioned Free File Fillable Forms. It even does some of the calculations for you. You can find it on the IRS website, and it even allows e-filing and printing the forms, and it's totally free. It doesn't have any wizards. You just fill out the forms directly, so there is no room for error, and you can see what is happening. It was so incredibly easy to use, and each form has the instructions at the click of a button. Then, I downloaded Indiana's Fillable PDFs and instructions. The Indiana Fillable PDFs don't perform calculations, but you can fill them out on your computer. Then, you simply print and mail them. It was also really convenient, simple, and free. I've been using TurboTax for over 20 years, but I would like to personally thank them for spending 2 years forcing me to consider these free alternatives.
