As usual, it was pretty straightforward. The only problems I had was getting my information organized in Quicken because I am never very standard in setting categories in order to get good reports for things like charity/donations and Doctors etc. But once I have that arranged, it's not bad, I mean it's still taxes, but not bad. Still doesn't run on the Linux operating systems except very indirectly.

I most needed turbo tax early, - end of December till 15 Jan 2026 - in order to determine my tax liability for lump sum distribution of Social Security. Turbo Tax was not updated for key interfaces until end of January 2026. But the Federal Tax IRS information was also not complete as late as Jan 21, 2026 for IRA Distributions. Turbo Tax would not allow partial inputs for key elements in attempting to manage my liabilities for 2025. I framed my taxes manually early January in order to pay 4th quarter Tax payments. Early April, I returned to Turbo Tax and updated to finalize tax filing for 2025. The software hung up on the previous inputs accomplished in January. I completed my taxes manually. After complete, I started Turbo Tax over with a new file and it worked smooth. Generally the flow was good, with notes, recommendations, and explanations. Not having the forms available during the program made it difficult to follow some of the instructions. Bottom-line, Turbo Tax provided a good backup to my manually prepared forms.

Turbo Tax "locked into" the Standard Deduction for me when the itemized deduction choice was clearly the better choice. I was not able to find a way to get to the screen where I could simply pick the one I wanted. To make the override happen I needed to delete all of my data entry in the Credit and Deduction section and start over. It took a while to come to that conclusion, bit it worked. The key, I think, is to not toggle back and forth to understand what is happening with the program - just make the choice and let it be.

I made a 1031 (like-kind property) Exchange last year. Filing requires a Form 8824 that's available but its Step-by-Step is hidden and there's little help. AI said to Search for "like kind" to find and use Step-by-Step. You need to create the replacement Sch E property. You must study applicable Fed Form instructions to understand given up and replacement property prices, fees, basis, and depreciation. Use Step-by-Step to answer questions and enter correct values. More detailed guidance is needed. After completing the exchange interview, switch to Forms view to verify that the Form 8824, 4797, Sch E, and depreciations are correct for both properties. I spent hours learning and trying different choices and values to get an error-free 8824 and correct forms. I called several "Connect with an expert" most couldn't help. I finally reached an enrolled agent with years of experience. We spent 5 hours figuring out how to answer the questionnaire. Later, I found the replacement property's basis was wrong resulting in a serious error in depreciation.

I have been a long time turbotax user and familiar with using the software. This year my return was more complicated by the sale of an out of state property. I found TT to be vague to the point I needed to use an external AI product to figure it out. Also, it let me pay to efle a state return and then wouldn't allow the return to be processed. The process for requesting a refund could not be more confusing. This may be the last time using TT, will let others know as well

I have been using Turbo tax for the past 5 years - user friendly interface with pop-up description of what the section makes it easier to navigate your way through tax filing. if one has a simple income sources with standard deductions - i would recommend using turbo tax. The only thing i don't like - it is advertised as free federal filing but towards the end there is always a charge waiting to be paid to file your taxes. Haven't figured out how to get around that yet --- some day.

Having been using TurboTax for few years now, it's quite supportive with the features of walk-through step-by-step and the check for error are very helpful. The matching with the forms are very accurate and very compatible. The downloading of the software and communications with the IRS and states for transmitting files, and the online payment are very convenience.

I have used TurboTax for many years; I love how the software walks you through each step in preparing the taxes and suggesting entries to maximize the tax refund due. .I, also love the review at the end to make sure everything is complete and accurate.

I enrolled in the live support. But it took me 3 times to get a person that helped me with my situation on RMD's with precious metals - using the option that you could pay from another IRA account so you didn't have to sell your metals to pay the RMD. (turbo tax software does not allow you to identify you are using one IRA to pay other RMD re4quirements. Austin was very helpful by saying that I could add a note explaining this. (hope this works).

Have been using Turbo Tax for a lot of years and also easy and accurate. The Step by Step interview process helps to ensure all topics are covered. I even got advice and recommendations for a deprecation deduction I would have otherwise missed. Filing is super easy and can be assured this is done completely
