TurboTax Premier should offer more detailed advice on topics such as how to determine RMDs, whether RMDs are even required for defined-benefit pensions, how to deal with the foreign dividend tax, etc. Also, it would help a lot to include an introductory set of questions about whether the hassle of itemizing deductions is worth it. This would have saved me a couple of hours of data entry this year and last. And I live in a state with no income tax, so all of that is a waste of time.

I experienced a few glitches that I was able to circumvent. I had a problem on State taxes of a swirling circle displaying "Calculating" & took a long time (+10mins) before I aborted the application. I attempted to contact your Turbo Tax live expert, but I had a difficult time to locate & access the right WEB online site. Instead, somehow I got to a WEB site "Ask for Advice" & needed to pay $50 for a 30 min session. Long story short, I managed to bypass the problem after researching thru AI, and getting an alternate method to resolve the problem without having to pay the $50.00. Additional glitch I encountered, was when the Final transmission of my Electronic filing for Federal & State, the status checked off for Reviewing, Preparing, Validating an had a swirling circle on Transmitting; that brought me back to the beginning start screen to file for Electronic taxes. Very frustrating to repeat process.

TurboTax worked well as it has always done. My only criticism is that the desktop program is not available for Windows 10. I was hoping that you would make it available for Linux but if you don't make available for Windows 10 users I doubt that it will ever be available for Linux.

In the medical deductions section, Turbotax included the income from a IRA to Roth conversion as current income in the calculation of the amount due for repayment of a health insurance marketplace premium. This resulted in repayment of premium in the amount of $5086 which is incorrect. The correct amount of repayment should be $1625 when you subtract the value of the IRA to Roth conversion from total income.

I've been using Turbo Tax forever. It's getting more difficult to use, and they made me upgrade this year to do something that I've been doing for years. I also had to buy a new computer because they wouldn't allow me to install on my existing computer.

I have used this product for over 35 years, and you have preceded to make it more obnoxious to use. I have purchased an expensive product, and every time I go into the Application it makes me proceed to do the same update every single time. There are not that many 325MB+ updates every day. Do Better. And stop trying to 'Up Sell' at every turn. It's really getting old. From a longtime, very frustrated, loyal user.

RMD inputs and guidelines are vague and poorly explained. More specific instructions could include dates relative to inputs. Also could include explanations relative to distributions on 1099-R and how the IRS obtains total RMD numbers when only a single IRA is used to satisfy RMD of multiple IRA accounts.

Estimated tax calculation routine needs work. I knew i needed to send in quarterly payments, because I owed nearly $3000 for 2025, But after putting in the required data, TT said "You don't owe any taxes for 2026" and would not calculate estimated payments. After a couple of attempts, I had to go into the forms view and work out the estimates there. I have nearly $1000/q in federal and $1000/q estimated tax payments. Why is step by step so inaccurate? And shouldn't Turbo Tax import the data it needs from my return (e,g. my agi and last year's taxes?) Entering Foreign tax is still not working well. It take sthe 1st country, then the first country disappears when the 2nd country is entered> I entered data for 8 or 9 countries, but when I looked at for view, it only said various. Confusing. I have used the Deluxe version for over a decade, but looking at the features on the box, it looked like I would have to buy Premier to handle my investments and foreign taxes. But Premier looks like last year's deluxe with a significant price increase.

I have always liked turbotax in my I think 30 years of using it, but this years version was the most frustrating I have ever experienced. After a few days of sorting out what looks like this version seemed to have carried over all my income accounts from last year with no information on the forms but my name and SS number and the name of the account provider, but when I imported some of my main account providers it did not replace the ones it carried with the ones I imported so I ended up with double the accounts and half of them did not have any info which caused error saying needed attention but I could not figure that out because the ones that were brought over from 2024 did not bring over the associated account numbers. What a mess I would be glad to better explain this to anyone interested. ALSO I really hope you do not force us to change over to your online version, if so I will no longer us turbotax going forward

Your tax software is so complete that I can prepare my federal and NC returns accurately within just 2 hours. I have been using TurboTax for at least 35 years and I can confidently say that I could not do my own tax returns at all without TurboTax.
