Tax Year 2016's TurboTax was a horrible experience in many other ways besides just the stripped Audit Meter. There seemed to be many bugs for instance when scrolling through forms when correcting issues (at least in a fully up-to-date Safari browser on a Mac). This stupid program was totally NOT worth the expense. It was absolutely zero help when filling in numbers for AMT (no help buttons anywhere). Our tax laws are clearly too complicated and even worse TurboTax is making us fill in too many pieces of MEANINGLESS info (such as disposition pages on a sold K1 asset that have nothing to do with what gets filled into a Schedule E or 8949). TurboTax is now more a hinderance than a help in filling in tax forms. For about twice the price I paid I know I can hire an accountant to do my taxes for me (and completely remove my risk for audit).
