Overall I have had good success with Turbo Tax Premier across several years, but occasionally I encounter a glitch in the program and have to work around it manually. In 2025 it happened when I answered one of the final review questions and the program changed my annualized income Form 2210, showing an underpayment penalty. I was able to fix it, but if you aren't pretty familiar with manually filling out forms and working around the program, Turbo Tax would have gotten me into a dispute with IRS.

There are some things I would do differently if I were designing the program. I must tell you I was a systems analyst for the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. I understand how difficult it is to design a program of this complexity. Also had the system go into a loop a couple of times, where it just went back to previous page.

Given extreme complexity of the tax code, TurboTax makes it relatively easy to enter and calculate, and is highly accurate. Audit Defense gives me peace of mind, and was extremely helpful one year when it was triggered. Downsides are that I have no insight into how the various taxes are actually calculated, it is difficult to estimate or try scenarios for next year's taxes, and I hate that loyal users are charged the highest price, if you choose to auto-renew.

I've always liked Turbo Tax. It's fairly easy to use but I think the printing and pdf saving sections could be better explained. Sometimes it's hard to anticipate whether or not to Continue and if you will have another opportunity to print and save.

The online version doesn't let you drill down to forms. Bugs and errors in energy credit area caused me to go back to desktop version which corrected problems as soon as I changed to desktop. Searching is worthless. It felt like the software was just a tool to sell their other features and I was using premium with basic return. I will most likely not use the online version again.

Your tax software is so complete that I can prepare my federal and NC returns accurately within just 2 hours. I have been using TurboTax for at least 35 years and I can confidently say that I could not do my own tax returns at all without TurboTax.

Love Turbotax. But two big misses. First, upon filing, all of a sudden I was notified that there was a Turbotax update. Why that later. Second, my return was rejected because I had not submitted an IRS PIN I received. There was no question in all of the entry process to ask if that had been received.

The tax software is complete. I usually have some difficulty entering the K-1 forms as yhou always force me to make an entry for code AE manually. I always have to search your help section or on-line blogs to find the answer. Would help if this we handled electronically. Also K-1 for Limited partnership is difficult and Turbo Tax only provides limited help. Otherwise I really like the software and how it flows and help make sure all areas are visited.

I'm doing multi-state filing using the software, and was very confused as the software made me choose the resident/non-resident option when other AI tools were telling me to choose partial resident filing due to my partial existence between different states. That led me to pay extra for possible defense and confirmation, but software itself gave me little confidence while navigating

This year, the application seemed more complex than in prior years. This year I had to search for and provide RMD information unlike other years. Also, the IP PIN input page did not come up automatically, I had to search for it. The information related to the requirement for reporting foreign bank accounts via a separate Form was confusing.
