Would be beneficial, if the program would cross reference tax filings between parent/child (ie; dependent and person claiming them) as a box was missed on the dependent form, which in turn caused our return to be rejected, the dependent return having to be amended and paper filed, and ours to be refiled with ip pins. Also, the search assistant needs to be a wee bit smarter, just a wee bit. Lol. Def would have been more helpful if this feature of the program could answer the questions without me having to leave and go to the internet.

This is a horrible application. I am a CPA and know what I'm doing. I work on taxes for a living, and should be able to override fields and fix things, and still be able to submit electronically. The only option you give me is to mail it in, and send a physical check which I do not have. First and last time I will use turbotax.

TurboTax Premier - Desktop had improvements in ease of use this year, particularly with bringing in forms electronically. However, TurboTax initially assumed that getting a federal refund would mean that I would get a state refund and encouraged me to proceed with the state taxes to get it, when instead I owed a fair amount. A minor point, but annoying.

Not my favorite software and not my favorite activity to be doing taxes. I am not thrilled with TurboTax. The interface looks like something that hasn't been updated since Windows 95. It's a bit clunky. I used it because my brokerage account gets complicated and (after significant effort disabling browsers and turning pop-up windows on, with no guidance from within the software, but rather looking up problems other people are having) it's useful to be able to have that part done automatically.

Overall, the software guides you through every key step. There is some repetition in asking for information, but it's probably to avoid errors. I had to do a little trial and error to download 1099 data from my financial institutions. My biggest disappointment was that I paid for a state income tax return, but TurboTax made me pay for it again.

There was what seemed to be a substantial update to the product as opened the Turbotax desktop application. I hadn't opened the product in about 2 weeks. I re-opened the product around April 1, 2026, and received the update. It caught me a little off guard that there appeared to be a substantial update. But, I know that importing forms from investment companies worked after the update. Those form imports did not work before the update.

I found it a little difficult to look at some of the inputs to the final tax forms once the process had been completed. I wanted to review a 1099-R after the tax forms had been completed but found that that data was hard to get to without having to go way back into the process. It would be nice if I could have looked at it at the very end to make sure it was right, without having to go back into the "income" area, unless I actually had to.

There are areas that are really confusing the way TT has them set up. I used AI support to make sense out of most of the process, taking screenshots and asking what to do. Specifically with regard to identifying investment income for OK. Having to edit every single one just to continue is such a waste of time. You need to recognize VARIOUS as an entry for date sold. This review is really awkward and poorly constructed!

I've used TurboTax for years and the 2025 version was atrocious. We have rental property. Walking through the sale of rental property was poorly designed. You need to clearly differentiate between a rental "property" and other types of rental assets. It took me about 4 hours to determine how to accurately enter the sale of the property. Also, on the window size for entering credit card payment for the state e-file fee would only display months 1 through 8. There was no ability to scroll to select months 10-12, or to resize the window.

I do not like the convoluted process of submitting the tax returns. The third party payment extortion is an insult. Get rid of it! Also, both the federal and the state returns were rejected because they were missing the IP PIN. Turbotax should have caught that as an error.
