Getting worse each year... stop the sales pitching and do the work to make taxes easier by giving more options like filing jointly is worse that filing married separately or carrying student as dependent is not wise let them carry themselves for Opportunity Credit. Stop using AI and use plain old human brain power.

Everything goes rather smoothly until you get to the end of the return. It gets a bit confusing when you start to file the returns & print. Also, personally I think $40.00 filing fee is too much for the state return. I have used Turbo tax for many, many years and have recommended it to many friends but I continue to be upset with the state filing fee.

Two areas of the process are frustrating due to lack of guidance. First, the initial phase of downloading the program and selecting last year's file to transfer data into current year. It repeatedly would not transfer from last year's file. When I restarted program (within minutes) it worked. Secondly, at the end of the program I want to PRINT the documents for review before I put in all the info to e-file. That is not readily available. I clicked on a link that took me out of TurboTax program to a website that was not helpful. Please make the PRINT option available sooner in the process, for instance during the REVIEW tab.

Disappointed that you did not issue a CD for the software this year. I prefer to load the software directly, downloading makes me nervous. Also, because you chose to issue TT for users of Windows 11 only, I had to also buy a new laptop to run the program. Why didn't you make it downward compatible for Windows 10 machines??

Would have been 5 stars, but when attempting to file, product failed validation and I had to wait until another update was available to download to clear. Problem described in link below https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/failed-validation-my-turbotax-deluxe-is-up-to-date-but-it-still-asks-for-an-update/00/3484353

I've used Turbo Tax to prepare my husband's and my joint tax return and our son's return for several years now. I've never had a problem with it. It' direct and to the point. The guidance is so easy to follow and the accuracy i perfect. The only problem this year was may desktop cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. Thankfully my husband's could.

When i tried to file I got a message that the software needed an update first. Gee, might I have not encountered some Turbo Tax glitches had I updated the software. The time to remind the user of updates is WHEN THE UPDATES ARE AVAILABLE. Please also remind users to save their work so they don't end up having to start over when they have failed to save midway through the entry process. PDFs should be available for printing page ranges; TT indicates that can be done BUT the result is ALWAYS the entire document.

My situation is somewhat unique. I moved from CA to MA in Dec. 2024, and I sold my main home in CA in March 2025. I did complete the return in the following way: Federal tax, then MA state, then CA state. I faced two problems. First, MA tried to charge the tax on the sale of house in CA to MA state without providing the credit for the tax payment in CA. (I eventually found the credit section. I was able to get the credit for tax payment in CA). Second, CA state tax does not calculate the tax on the sale of house in CA. I spent some hours to figure out the way to charge the tax on the sale of the house to CA state. I inserted the net income from the sale of the houses into the necessay part in the tax worksheet (I do not remember the worksheet name). Then I was able to find the tax amount I expected. Anyhow I got a "reasonable" tax amount for both states. I wish you could provide mor kind guide to address this kind of problem.

It was more difficult than previous years to follow instructions and input figures. I had 286 separate stock trades last year and I had to go into to all of them and select if it was a digital asset trade or not. This needs to be fixed. It was extremely time consuming to check all the boxes. There should be a box/option so that I can select a global fix instead of individual, or digital trades must be reported differently by the financial institution.

Apparently I have to submit a review in order to get the program to stop sending me these annoying messages about not completing the process. The federal and state government's have accepted my returns. I received my tax refund but still get these emails. Maybe this will help.
