Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Good to know. In my case, OLT taxes are basically done but not filed yet. There is a small difference between TT and OLT in the 1116 credit but since I was not able to have the TT-prepared forms (I am using the online version and did not pay anything yet), I do not know what caused it. I do not file before Sunday, so I can decide later, assuming TT does not drop the ball.
Overall, both TT and OLT are very different but both have qualities:
TT has a better interview process (better than TaxAct and HR too) and points you to some possible deductions and credits you can benefit from.
OLT is much more crude, but gives you more control. Using OLT I had to go to the forms instructions more frequently.
I am sad that TT has these problems this year. It also has another problem with depreciation that showed an "UNDER CONSTRUCTION PAGE" that apparently can be prevented if you start your return over from scratch. The American tax code is insane and TT does a good job of driving the filer through this wild territory. It is sad that this year we had so many hiccups. I hope they perform better next year.
