TERRIBLE experience. Ridiculously cumbersome to suffer thru. Need to go thru endless screens to get where need to be. MANY questions asked are so confusing it's nearly impossible to try to select the right answer. Needed to exit and enter program numerous times before it recognized that state return had not yet been done. Sleazy that advertising says includes state but then need to pay to file.

This year was very challenging and confusing compared to the 20 or so prior years. Could be due to tax law changes. I have difficulty reading the small print in the Pop-up help boxes. I'd like the pop-up help boxes to be larger or that I was able to enlarge.

It's a very wonky bit of software. I've used TT online for years and switched to Desktop this year because the interview process is so poor re K1 forms. It is surprising that the user interface is not improving despite advances in AI--which I used to overcome confusion with working with TT. Hard to see TT survive Claude et al.

I have used Turbo Tax for several years and have found it easy to use and helpful in making sure I have everything covered. Only complaint this year is that several times the 'review' line for reviewing previously entered data had 'hidden' click points - I tried clicking on what appeared to be a 'review button', only finding by sheer happenstance that there were some other points where i needed to click but they didn't appear until i scrolled over them, and even then only appeared as shadowed squares. Very inconvenient, because i ended up making new entries in one instance because i couldn't figure out how to 'review'.

I have used this software for years and at the end i still must enter my information two or three times.Turbo tax interface is the same as it was 5 years ago! i load my credit card info for staet return and hit transmit. Then i get an error message to correct my downloaded W2. Why am i getting an error message at that point! My daughter's return required a form 8615. Why could the software allow me to direct it to my Turbotax return. Secondly Form 8615 required Schedule D information. I did not have a schedule D. the software or your help options would not provide any details on what to do. Again, my comment is, "Your software is outdated."

Streamline the entry of investment data for users that don't want to import for any of their brokerage info. Felt like I kept going in a big, repetitious circle. Simple question should be "Do you wish to skip the import process for all of your investment transactions?" Don't keep making me trudge through it over and over when it is faster to key in the few boxes than log into the brokerage and import. The sizing of the screen layouts takes up a lot of space and requires the user to do an unnecessary amount of scrolling up and down to see it all. Yes, you can reduce the page size to fit it all in the screen, but then the font is smaller and harder to read. A good balance of screen layout and readable font size is what we need.

This is the first time TurboTax has missed a big area for me. I have mulitple 1099's to pull down from several companies and TurboTax will not let me automatically pull the values in. Additionally, when there is an error in my tax return, caught by TurboTax, it does not walk me through the solution.

Confusing on some questions within the software to specific forms and answers to questions. Could be more detailed on instructions for filling out some forms. Also, not easy to contact for a quick specific question as the help online search doesn't get you to the answer, when you need to ask a specific question of a real person.

Thanks to AI tools like gemini, chatgpt, claude, I was able to get through using turbo tax much faster than previous years where I had to scroll through dozens of community forum answers to figure out things. 1. If your smart check found an error - why not have the UI take you to the section where the problem was found? How helpful is it to just ask Enter State for 2619: ____ ? Also Why do you have to make Backdoor Roth conversion SO INSANELY CONFUSING?

Don't need the expert advice, because turbo tax is very simple, ease of use, it interfaces with my banks and makes transferring information easier and W2 is a breeze to import the information , Also the features are so simple to use and never for 10 years had any audit issues, accuracy and support is the best, why need experts...
