I have used Turbo Tax for years and have recommended to others. However, it has gone down hill the last 2 years. It is not as easy to use. The import function never worked correctly this year. Also the help they used to give for donations is not available as of mid-Feb ... supposedly it is coming. I will no longer recommend TurboTax to others. I haven't decided what I am going to do next year. So sad that their "improvements" have made the product worse in my opinion.

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.

I've been using TurboTax for over 20 years. It has been a great product; however these last three years or so, the quality of TurboTax has declined. The software has more noticeable bugs. This year I started with TurboTax Online and then switched to Desktop. I had an issue with the switch (can't remember the issue). I had to uninstall and reinstall the Desktop version. Then when it was time to work on my state return, it did not load the state portion. I had to uninstall and reinstall...again! Never had these issues before. The TurboTax development and testing teams need to do a better job to improve reliability and quality.

The TurboTax experience was about as annoying as usual. This year required dealing with upgrading to Windows 11, it's own nightmare. Then, as usual the software required constant updates, and in fact required one right as I was filing. Necessitating an additional review of the tax return. And now this survey can't seem to keep up with my typing, so I have to deliberately slow down so that it doesn't reverse or skip keys.

TurboTax was a bit quirky this year. My first transfer of 2024 data into TurboTax was incomplete and inaccurate, so as I entered tax information as it arrived, the output was not complete and when I looked at the 2024 tax history, it was completely void.... when I called for technical support, there was no means to recover the failed data transfer, so I needed to start from the beginning. Quite frustrating and annoying.

The Kansas package has an error when calculating the proportion of income to be applied to Kansas taxes for someone living outside of the state fulltime. Schedule S B23 is not calculated correctly, such that it states no taxes are due, when that is not true.

I reached out to an expert named Doug. Doug was patient and researched and answered every question I had. He spent a lot of time with me and never made me feel like he was in a rush to finish with me so he could help someone else. I was relieved when I finally submitted my tax forms and felt supported through the process. Thank you, Doug!

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.

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.

Overall it's OK. The interface has gotten a little bit more awkward this year. I find it really annoying that I cannot easily find and separate mine and my spouse's various W2 and 1099 and other forms. That information is mysteriously buried which I find very annoying when I'm manually entering or importing the information. The W2 auto fill laughably fails every year when providing it a perfect PDF of the W2 forms. You also leave old $0 1099 forms around that I have to manually delete. When importing 1099 forms you don't check the TIN so amounts that do not belong on my tax return are silently included that I need to manually remove. Finally, I find it more than a little annoying that the audit defense that is bundled in with Turbotax is just a 1 year service that expires by next April 15th and not the proper statute of limitations expiration service. Also, this ridiculous business of requiring the latest version of Windows in order to use your software. I don't know what your game is, I don't know what the back end benefit is that you get, but there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to prevent the installation of Turbotax on a Windows 10 system!
