Retirement tax questions

turbo tax is selling their product w/o the functions need to complete the taxes

 

that is exactly my point...... 'estimating' is not necessary to complete taxes.  Yes, it is a useful tool to project whether to do a IRA Rollover, to determine if penalties for under paying taxes may be due, etc., but those are not necessities to 'complete taxes'.  Those are necessities to 'estimate taxes', i.e. what occurs across various scenarios.  TT isn't marketing (or selling to use your words) that the product is to be used for that, even though customers in fact use it for that.
