Two minor glitches: It wouldn't use my 2023 tax return as the base. It would be good to be slightly more backwards-compatible. (MUn beknownst to me, my 2024 TurboTax file was corrupted after filing at the last save, so I couldn't use it.) Even though I clicked on the answer that all self-employment income was generated in my home office, it never entered the 100% anywhere nd told me that my home office had to be carried over to tax yesr 2026. This made no sense, so I went back and answered the questions again. Same thing. So I had to search through the various forms and worksheets to force-enter by hand (as well as the percentage of hy home my office is).

I have used this product for over 20 years. This year there was a change that I wasn't too keen on. You took the ability to go "back" during the review. I made a selection that I wasn't sure about and it cost me $300 in my refund without any way to go back and change my selection.

Turbotax is JUNKware. I will never buy it again. Bugs all over. 1 hassle after another. Their fed form estimated taxes section would not transfer values for estimated taxes paid to state/county to the state form. I retired with 38 years working in IT/engineering in software development and testing. I know what good software is and this is junkware. Next year I will use freetax usa. Done giving money to makers of junk products.

I choose Turbo Tax mostly because I don't have to enter all the data I entered before, and I am familiar with it. Generally it is helpful and clear. Sometimes the check for errors functions do NOT adequately explain the concern when one is identified. But mostly it works well.

I was able to successfully complete and file my Federal and State returns with TurboTax but it was not easy. I was prompted to correct errors several times but it was very difficult to figure out how and the instructions were not clear or easy to follow. I had to use my best guess about what to do and hope for the best. It took almost six hours to do both returns, almost double the time TurboTax said it would take.

I've used TurboTax for over 30 years. The missing feature is the worksheet option for multiple entries, such as medical expenses, involving multiple companies or individuals. The Apple MiniMac keyboard and mouse are not real user friendly is several areas. The rest of the system remains very familiar.

Maryland excludes a certain amount of pension income (such as IRA distributions) that are fully taxable as Federal income. The excludable amount is calculated in Worksheet 13a and reported on Forms 502 (line 10a) and 502R (line 11). However, TurboTax 2025 didn't include this exclusion as a choice in the list of incomes where Maryland differs from Federal. In our case, TurboTax didn't include any amount in 502 or 502R, and its final calculation showed us owing Maryland $12 rather than an actual refund of $2,400.

Turbotax has added too many steps, especially in the section for entering investment income. You want to enter interest, then it goes to general stuff, asks about downloading, and you have to click through a thousand screens to just enter some interest. Needs to be streamlined.

Too many glitches entering data this year. It took 6 tries to get my credit card information to be accepted. I needed help in filing a second return plus the second return lacked the persons ID on the starting screen. Somehow a third return was entered with $0 and couldn't be deleted. I have been using TurboTax for about 15 years and this desktop software had too many bugs!

addendum:I sent my taxes through, then got ANOTHER text saying they were rejected! WHY?? your review before transmitting them said everything was ok! Clearly not! and when I tried to correct it, I was guessing, because you weren't telling me what to correct! Stop sign in red, but no yellow boxes on the forms to fill in, no red ! next to a form! ARRGGG! You are really making me hate Turbo Tax ! I did my taxes, but when preparing to file, the walk through had me remove some info from my state tax form, I forget the details but think it was my bank info for my return. That made no sense to me. I received a text later saying both Fed & state forms were rejected, but the text had no identifier from TT or Intuit. No email, no notification in my TT account. I called & spoke to Kwadwo, he was very helpful. We tried the screen share but it didn't work, we finally figured out what I needed to correct on my forms, it was under the 'form' tab, but there was no indication I should have looked there! Sheesh! Turbo Tax is not very user friendly in that regard for the 2025 returns, I hope you can fix it for this year!
