I came to the Community with the hope (fantasy?) that there might be a way to enter data directly into forms for those of us who actually know what we're doing. Apparently no such "way" exists. I have the same complaint. Having to enter by hand all of the data into worksheets or 1099s is laborious and ridiculously time consuming. It's not why I spend money on tax software.
I don't care about TT's guarantee, but I do care about efiling and TT won't allow this without your spending hours and hours completing their stupid TT-forms. This seems to be a problem with intuit: It treats it's customers as though they are not competent at accounting.
Would be nice if TT allowed one the choice direct entry with efiling but no guarantee.
