In general, I think TurboTax is a great product. It gets better, covering more things every year. I like that you handle electronic payments now. A couple of ideas for improvement: 1) This year it was a bit confusing to get to the page for typing in the data instead of downloading. 2) Fed tax free interest that is state taxable is a bit confusing. I ended up reporting state taxable interest as from Alabama. What I really know is how much is taxable by California. 3) Review underpayment penalty calculations. Last year it said I owed penalties so I paid them, and both CA and IRS refunded them. This year it said I owed CA penalty at first, then later no (maybe fixed in an update?).

As usual the experience was mostly excellent. Only Good this year, because TT changed how various 1099 forms are entered - 1099-DIV, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-B, etc. At one point I was stuck in a "loop" - trying to enter a particular 1099 but I could never get to the form I wanted and the program kept looping back to previous 1099 forms. I finally called the TT help desk. After a few tries we figured it out but I've never had any issues like this in previous years. Sorry, I don't remember which 1099 nor the exact buttons that I pushed because this occurred about a week ago and I did not want to give a bad review to the online person who helped me. Next time I'll record the issue and the exact buttons that I push.

I have been using Turbo Tax for almost 30 years and have been very satisfied with the product. I have used the deluxe version and the premier version over the years. I find the software reliable and relatively easy to use. I have never had to file an amended return or have had an audit. Using the e-file has gotten my tax filing done quickly and any refunds returned in a few days to a couple of weeks.

I’ve used several tax software programs over the years, but TurboTax Premier stands out as the best by far. The ease of use, thoroughness of the questions, and step-by-step guidance make it vastly superior to its competitors. TurboTax Premier excels at handling investment income and rental property taxes, making complex financial situations feel simple. The interface is intuitive, and the explanations at each step help ensure accuracy and maximize deductions. Unlike other programs that feel clunky or vague, TurboTax makes everything crystal clear. If you have investments, stock trades, or rental properties, this edition is well worth it. It’s fast, efficient, and makes filing your taxes as stress-free as possible. Highly recommend!

i have been using TurboTax since 2006 and was disappointed that it was not available on DVD for 2024 in the event that my hard drive fails or something else catastrophic happens to the original copy. I like the option of being able to file electronically for both Federal and State returns.

The software is fine and mostly easy to use. This year TT Premier added a series of unnecessary boxes for individual 1099s etc that add no value and just add additional steps. Beyond that the constant upselling for additional paid services like advice and full tax prep is beyond annoying.

Filling in the info was fine. When it came to filing, the SC state return said I could not manually enter my first name, so I deleted it in the box that popped up. Then it said the box had to be filled in. Looked like an endless do loop and took me about an hour to find the federal form, which had my name in it, delete the name and type it in again (?????) to make the SC form happy. Then the program failed to submit my returns. I had to update the program, which I had done a few hours before. Then it got hung up and I had to force close it. Finally after restarting and inputing my county info for the second time, the program finally submitted my returns. Very glitchy in the final stage....disappointing

Watch your carryovers, my IRA contributions through 2023 disappeared; only my 2024 contribution was shown. I manually changed it. I gave up trying to get the Foreign Tax Credit for foreign taxes I paid on dividends. It used to be simple. I've been using TurboTax since 2007.

Turbo Tax is an incredible program for filing taxes. No matter how complicated your taxes are, the step by step review takes you through every piece of information needed for your return. I have used Turbo Tax for years and would not use anything else.

I truly dislike having to wait EVERY time for an update. Can't that be done before filing? I'm sure the answer is no.but ... I also thought I was buying Audit guarantee but inadvertently ordered live tax advice which meant I had to go thru the refund process involving a phone call and the loss of my $10 credit. (My bad for sure) By the way, your telephone response time and agent is Fantastic!
