In years past, I have consistently rated TTP with a 5 Star rating, but I'm only giving it 4 Stars because I had several problems with entering data. The section dealing with my 1099R had to be revisited several times in order to update the 2025 figures. And during one of the attempts, I completely killed my entire return and sent me back to "start a new return", a most distressing occurrence!!! I am not happy with all the revised format changes because I have been using TTP for many years now and I found the new formatting to be cumbersome to use. Otherwise, I am pleased with the product overall, as I have been in the past. I would have given 3 Stars because of my level of frustration, but felt that would have been too harsh on ths excellent product.

Everything good except a glitch on this item below. "Dependent Wks form is complete and filled out, associated Student Wk form is filled out and has dependent specified as a student for 2025 - High School (Secondary). People Wk for dependent has blank TP/SP Link that will not populate. Form flags this as an error, if you try to efile your return it requests that you fix this error before filing. If you try to bypass the error and efile anyway it will not let you."

Decades long Turbo Tax user. The software, while a tad difficult to load this year, provided easy-to-follow instructions and assists; when I needed more information the advisor interface was available to get the details I required. I really appreciate the many features of this TT Premier.

The performance of Premier was reasonably good. However, Intuit was sloppy in not including guidance on required documentation for Schedule D. No warning was given regarding the necessity of reporting non-covered sales on Form 8949 before e-filing. Consequently I now have to submit paper copies said form. Sloppy.

changes to software this year make manual entries for interest and dividends very cumbersome. Entries should be separate. Always returns you to top of list. Import screen is always first. there should be fewer "clicks" to make manual entries. Even deleting an entry from last year that has $0 this year is difficult

Had a slight problem with reporting 1099 information. My previous year 1099 suppliers list was pre-populated (as in years past), but I was unable to edit them to report this years data. In other words, the edit button did not work and so I had to reenter the institution information fresh, then delete the same pre-populated institution, since I couldn't edit it.

At the beginning I was having trouble downloading TurboTax to my desktop because I was trying to install the "Mac" app on my "Windows" PC. After the second call into TurboTax, I was able to speak with an American that had a good phone connection. It was smooth sailing after that.

First the UI has gotten increasingly confusing. The flow is not as smooth as it used to be and it does seem like the guided process is not as easy to follow as before. There are definitely elements of the UI that is not intuitive as to what the user is supposed to do. For instance, the interest portion used to walk through all the entries from the previous year and ask if they were still relevant but now we just get a bunch of boxes all with "needs review". Ok, it needs review but what am I supposed to do with that. I don't know what is going on with TurboTax but it is increasingly getting more and more cryptic for the user. Just go back to the way it was a few years back when the flow and UI made much more sense.

I have used turbo tax for many years and have been completely satisfied. All exceptions in my data this year result from Charles Schwab downloaded info. I cannot manually reconstruct the data Schwab has provided me. Either their systems are flawed or turbo tax is substandard (who would you pick). Exceptions noted present zero or otherwise minimal monetary changes to taxable results. I have already spent 50 hours attempting to rectify. Turbotax will not allow me to electronically file as is.

Software doesn't change much year to year. I tried to do my taxes manually and a year I finally had to deal with a limited partnership, I gave up after 4 weeks of frustration and had to return to Turbo Tax. I had tried H&R block one year way back and found it deficient, so I haven't tried anything else. I found bugs this time again... percentages did not carry over to a worksheet from K-1 inputs, difficulty with K-1 inputs, notice that a certain form would not be generated from K-1, amounts not carried over from K-1, '.01' IRA distribution amount issue, and finding answers or help to questions is always a pain. Interface hasn't changed that much over the years and the walkthroughs are always helpful. I wish there was like IRA cost basis and other tax tracking summarreporting available in the package. efile submission is very quick and straight forward now, though it does not make sense to have to type in name/address information over and over. i did not like the organization of online help this year and thank goodness for Google's AI's ability to generate answers to questions.
