It was going well but some of the questions I didn't really know how to answer but after doing some google searching, I was able to get it done. The Turbo tax deluxe (computer app not online) is the cheapest option for a tax return. P.S. I didn't use the specialist that cost extra.

This is a nightmare this year.. I have e-filed three times but not accepted. I have checked my information. I do not need to pay for help to complete another return and am getting tired of being placed in that area after I have already completed all of my information and paid the filing form.

Turbo Tax doesn't allow 1099-R documents that are uploaded with boxes 9a and 16 blank to be accepted if blank, even though the IRS doesn't require them. It was a problem last year, an I forgot about it. I thought it would be fixed for this year, but it's still a problem. Evidently Intuit doesn't listen to feedback. I'll investigate if it's corrected next year before purchasing Turbo Tax again. May be worth starting from scratch with different software (HR Block) to avoid the problems.

I filed electronically using PIN numbers I retrieved from the proper website, and the return was rejected. I also paid to file NJ taxes electronically but never got any word of whether the state return was accepted or not. So that was a waste of money. I tried refiling the federal form, but the ire never received it. So now I have to print the form to mail it, and nowhere do I find instructions what papers need to be mailed with the forms. I've used TurboTax for years, but this is the last year I will do so.

This year's program had a lot of bugs in it. It would take me to screens I didn't need to go to, and would require me to provide info I didn't need to type in. I had to keep going to the forms section to delete info I added just to be able to get to the next step. We've been using TT for at least 10 years, and don't ever remember having so many issues.

TurboTax 2025 Deluxe failed me this year. After adding the CA State return, the application would hang or sometimes I could get to the next step by waiting 5 to 15 minutes for the application to respond. I used many backups for repeated attempts, stripped out the CA return several times nothing helped. I did manage to file but I am exhausted and spent over 15 extra hours battling with the "Not Responding" delays and lockups.

We have always needed more information about the PSO benefits, as we are BOTH retired federal peace officers who should be eligible for the 3,000 deduction, but we cannot tell if we only receive one deduction , or both, and there's no guidance regarding this issue. In the past when i looked it up it appeared we could both take the deduction if we both met all the criteria regarding health insurance costs, but there is no turbotax guidance on this matter. And, need guidance on how to figure out of the PSO is given and how to calculate it to determine that. Although thank you for making the program easier to enter this information about the PSO and that we no longer have to re-enter it over and over each time you come back to it, or when you go out of that area than back in and out, having to re-enter it every time..

I've been using TT for many years with the desktop version on various versions of Windows and this the first time that I can remember, that the importing of data from various financial institutions would not work. In researching this, Intuit had no answer just "manually enter data" which is a real pain with financial records. What ever Intuit did to break this, needs to get fixed for next year.

The IRS could--and should--do a better job than these monopolizing tax filing companies with huge lobbying budgets. $25 to e-file? I have to file in 2 states and it's much cheaper to print them out and mail them--because of the near-monopoly. It's more expensive for my state this way. It's absurd. Come on, Congress.

There is a glitch on form 7206 line 11 which incorrectly calculated my taxes. I had to contact a turbo-tax professional to correct the issue and we had to manipulate the information on the forms to get the correct calculations and then file an amended return. I found it in reviewing my taxes from previous years. The professional was very good but I don't think the people he had to contact to resolve the issue understood the problem. I feel someone at Turbo Tax should have corrected the forms when it was brought to their attention..
