For my 2024 taxes, I had to answer several easy questions about my wife's NC teachers retirement 1099-R. i can't remember exactly what they were... The easy answers were something like "received payments monthly", "not a safety officer" "Yes, received payments for several years", "she did something else with her money", "received money from a qualified plan"..... anyway this tax year the questions for her 1099-R seemed a bit convoluted. also, i imported my 1099-R, -INT -DIV from fidelity. THAT IS SO NICE.... however, I had to some follow-up on the foreign tax credit - that i thought TT sould automatically populate . During "Review", TT did not tell me i failed to update my foreign tax credit under the credit and deductions sections

This has been the worst TurboTax experience I have ever had after many, many, many years of using. Some information was available in uploaded forms but still had to be entered this year. Have not had to in past years. The upselling has got to stop!!

Ran into a startup issue where the app started but then blanked out and had to restart. Also the startup does not always take you to the main screen which is inconvenient because you have to try to find a suitable starting place. I ended up going through Windows file manager and locating my saved tax return, double-clicking it to start TurboTax, then proceeding from there.

Updater takes forever to run and there is no way to bypass it or really know how long it will take--the time remaining shown is not close to being accurate. Also, we were forced to pay more to update to premier unexpectantly just to include a 1099-B. I don't recall this being addressed in the packaging. Program always takes much longer to use than expected due to these unforeseen issues.

Turbotax has gone downhill this year. It lags without showing its even running, I have to run it in admin mode and it keeps asking me to pay again for things I've already paid for. I'm very much contemplating switching next year after being I believe a 15+ year customer. Unfortunately, thumbs down this year. I hear that I'm not the only one. I suggest that you issue a public apology and explain why you will do better next year. It's that bad.

I find TurboTax Premier very difficult to use. I choose to input forms manually vs importing information. I like to have control over my inputs. It is very difficult to navigate where to input forms and the step by step is no help. Additionally, my 1099's from my brokerage accounts have DIV, INT and B all on the same document. You have to input them in 3 different places in TurboTax, not 1 form with all 3 different inputs.

everything went great until it keep asking about having digital assets under error review and I had no digital assets I couldn't get past that error which was a flaw in the software. I called support and they said they would get back to me in 24-48 hours they never called back so i kept trying to get my data through by deleting and rreadding the info and for some reason it all of sudden let me move on. then at the very end of hitting the send button to elec file it hit me with another issue that was easy to fix and wasn't mentioned in the review section all I can say is get it together!!!!

The biggest problem for my tired old eyes was the lack of contrast on the radio buttons on the forms. White text on a light blue button was difficult to read. I suggest black on top of the light blue buttons. The other problem was that it would not let me pay my NC state taxes online. No matter what I did, I could not get past the payment page where you enter the routing and account numbers. All of that worked fine on the Federal return, but not for the State. More discussion of the new OBBBA deductions would have been nice. No info on the new senior deduction.

It's so fustrating using 2025 Turbo Tax Desktop version. This whole day from 11am to now 6:!3, i am trying all differnet ways to file my 2025 tax return. It won't get past filing stage. I tried repeatedly updating the app; uninstalled the app; clearing cache etc. Everything you can think of. So I finally tried filing the federal return first. After IRS accepted my fed tax return, I prceeded with my CA tax return filing but now I cannot file. It said CA doesn't accept an efiled return. And then I continue the process anyway...I went thru the review process thru the step of printing/saving return...after that, it took me to the Rating tab. Why??

The software is user friendly and adds explanations along the way if you have questions. There was one little glitch this year that happened on both of the tax returns I prepared that were itemized. The step-by-step screen was insisting I enter information on a Canadian pension custodian - even though I live in the U.S. and my work-life/pension has nothing to do with Canada. I couldn't move forward without entering information. I think I finally got out of it by going back and then going forward again.
