I hate being upsold at every turn - I should not have to select the correct product multiple times and constantly say no to upselling. It was disappointing to have the software version and then be required to pay extra to e-file state returns. That should be included in the product cost - especially for the higher tier products.

The first version I had was the deluxe. The menus have changed from previous years and the flow is clunky. I ended up in loops when trying to enter sale of a house data and had to actually exit the program to escape. It turns out I had to upgrade to enter info on selling a vacation home and then still encountered some loops. The help menu was displayed in HUGE text in a small box that could not be resized so it was unreadable. The top menus had font problems, too. The words were cut in half. The prompts on screen were more for tax professionals than mere taxpayer mortals and often I had no idea what the words or initials stood for and had to just guess at the appropriate response. When asking the bot how to report a bug (the endless loop) I got unrelated ridiculous suggestions. I've probably been doing my taxes with Turbotax for 25 years, but this will probably be the last time. It was PAINFUL.

The 1099 inputs are very time consuming and frustrating for the user especially if you have hundreds of option trades. TurboTax needs to recognize through the description option trades and ignore $0 cost basis since the net gain/loss amount is already calculated on the 1099. TurboTax also does not allow the user to do sufficient bulk updates on the 1099 form to make the "Review Needed" error go away.

First it only runs on Windows 11 which is an expensive upgrade. So you run win11 or mac OR you use the Web version. Its not very reassuring for all of your data to be on intuit servers. Every time you run TT it requires an update. The updates are SLOW taking hours sometimes. Cant you make a modular program with shared objects so updates are not to huge and slow. Its also undercut on price by several competitors.

I was unable to file my State Return in the online interface. I finally had to open the app which was I glad I had downloaded. I knew how to use because I had before. Finally my State Return went through. You need to fix the online interface for state returns. It sucked.

If you have a Mass 1099G PFML tax payments but no income you cannot e-file the Mass return. Of course the program doesn't tell you this until you pay to e-file. To file federal I had to move the 1099 to other tax payments. After trying to manipulate the forms to e-file the state I gave up and took out the $43 I paid in state taxes. It was either that or mail them and be out the $25 I paid for e-file.

Doing my taxes this year was painful. At the end, during the Smart Check for the Capital Asset Sales Worksheet, I had to manually check "NO + Continue" to answer "Is this a Digital Asset Y/N?" over 600 times to get thru all the sales transactions! There was no place to do this en masse upfront during the import or review of the documents. This REALLY, REALLY sucked and I hope you fix it for next year.

The payment page is extremely bad. After filling out "Billing Address", the "continue" button was not visible no matter what you do and again it is not visible in the page of "review." This program was reported in 2019 based on google search, but you haven't fixed it yet after 7yrs. it is amazingly unbelieveable.

The product is accurate and does a great job in reviewing all aspects of tax categories. I always had success with using Turbo tax in past years and will continue in future years. However, I have had challenges with the product, namely: The UI is outdated and clumsy; small font is hard on older eyes and navigation is not intuitive. I had to use the wizard to enter data instead of entering directly into forms.

I got stuck with a login issue, I used the Live Tax advice and quickly resolved the issue. Then I got stuck with the Federal Review and / Fix. The form would not advance. I used Live Tax advice again, however we went through lots of menus of grayed out options (likely due to I'm on a Mac). So I started my taxes again from the start. I got to the same section again. Then I had to pay for Live Tax Advice again, since I lost my previous privilege. The person I got to this time quickly showed me how I had to verify and validate my 1099's and cleared up everything. From there everything worked AOK.
