As to accuracy, fed & state returns are similar to previous years'. Guidance is generally good; entering modest income from royalties as academic author requires very close attention, and I am not at all aware of all the information Schdl C requires, but T'Tax seems to handle it OK.

This was the worst experience of bait and switch. Paid for desktop software, and AFTER paying for it I was told I needed to sign up for an Intuit account and log in before I can use the software I paid in full for. Outrageous! Its not bad enough my private data is shared with Intuit, but they want to scrape more data from me by having me sign up for an account!? Then when I log in, every 5th page is an ad to pay for more services. Then there is an extra charge paid to Intuit to e-file?? Another grift! 0 out of 10 for this software. Shame on you Intuit! Stay away from this terrible company and software.

Overall a good tax prep tool to have. What I don't like about this product is the constant marketing to get you to buy more services. I've paid for the desired product, that should have been enough. Also, the fee to use Intuits payment services is higher then other similar providers for the same service.

The font of turbo tax is too small / light. Should be a bolded font and larger. instructions for reporting foreign tax paid, dividends, interest and foreign income is weak and non helpful. Suggest automatic handling of fidelity downloads for foreign income and taxes paid.

While I like being able to complete my taxes using Turbo Tax, my return is getting rejected when trying to file electronically. I don't know whether that is because it was rejected last year, but that is very frustrating particularly when the review of my return by Turbo Tax says everything looks good.

State return form will not display the TC-40 sheet without Adobe Reader. It will display with Adobe. However, when you try to print the state return, you cannot print the return because "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." You can see the page but cannot actually print the page.

I initially entered info on dividends, then the program asked for IRA info which had the dividends so my income was two times and TurboTax didn't flag it. I manually set all boxes to zero or blanks on the non-IRA dividends section. The program insisted, at the end, to enter the TID number even though all fields were zero or blank. Recommend telling users to not enter dividend info if it is from an IRA.

As usual, the 2025 Federal State Income Tax Product is very comprehensive and very intuitive with its very effective GUIDANCE tool. It takes a lot of the "guess work" out of preparing taxes and supplies easily understandable narrative to each section. This wil continue to be my "GO TO" tax prep software to use for my tax preparation.

This this year's Turbotax Deluxe version did not allow you to right click on an entry and add a supporting statement (note). It was a pain to have to switch to Forms when I wanted to add a supporting statement. I use supporting documents to record account numbers, add breakdown of total numbers, add EIN for charitable organization, etc. Some of this information I was not able to add even when switching to Forms. Please bring back this feature. It also didn't tell me it gave me the senior bonus deduction. I had to search the forms to make sure it was included. A screen telling me it was include and the amount would have been nice.

The desktop version is far more not-user-friendly than previous versions from searching for help prospect. For example, in previous desktop version, when I typed PIN, it provided an easy access link for me to enter the PIN. Now, it directed to the website and also no easy instructions provided to where to enter the PIN. For another example, I searched "Where to enter 529 contribution in IL Tax form?", here folliowing is what I got from the TurboTax website (after I signed into my TurboTax account (which is completely not correct): Illinois does not offer a state income tax deduction or credit for contributions to a 529 college savings plan. Therefore, you do not enter 529 contributions on your Illinois state income tax return. You only report 529 contributions on your federal return if applicable, but for Illinois state taxes, there is no entry required for 529 contributions.
