One big challenge is every time I open TurboTax, no matter what year it automatically goes to the TurboTax website for updates. Updates are not required every time I open the the software. I should have the option to access the software without getting updates every time.

New format for entering dividends and interest took a while to get used to. Not sure I like it as well as before. Felt I was being pushed to import info and not given chance to say "Don't ask me again about importing." I can't really review accuracy. I hope it is more accurate than 2024 turned out to be. I ended up with a penalty for underpayment of state taxes because of last year's error.

I think that the updates take a long time. Also, I noticed that the access to my computer popup is behind the TurboTax banner and not off to the side where I can see it and give permission to allow access. This results in an error that is not clearly defined, i.e. "Must grant access to computer for updates to be installed" instead a cryptic message is shown that doesn't have any relationship to the give access popup.

We've been faithfully using TurboTax since the early 90's and have never regretted it. We enjoy the simplicity of the Q&A flow and never having to view any of the forms unless we wanted to. All entries we make during the interview process places our responses on to the correct forms and in their respective locations.

I tried to save my taxes as I worked on it and it was lost. I've used TurboTax for years and this was the first time this happened. I got help when I called but still had to start all over. Finally, I am disappointed that the"upselling" of product got in the way of starting my filing.

I use a Mac, not a PC. Again this year, the latest version of TurboTax refused to acknowledge that I had a TurboTax file from last year. I had to go on line to find out from others that I had to go back to 2024 and restart everything. A couple years ago, I did what TurboTax recommended about using a password to save a file, and ended up having to enter everything by hand. I'll never do that again.

I have used Turbotax for over 30 years. The past 2 years have been the worst, and this year has been by far the worst. The deductions section was terrible. Forms from previous years had to be deleted and reentered. I was unable to review the data in the deductions in the application and had to use forms to enter and review all data.

Where to include my Qualified Charitable Donation of my 2025 RMD from a traditional IRA was difficult to find when filling out my 2025 Federal 1040 since it was not under Deductions and Credits in Turbo TAx (at least I didn't find it there). It would help seniors over 73if you include a notation in your Deductions Section which gives a link to where in the TurboTax software and the line on the IRS form where this tax exemption information should be entered. I didn't find anywhere to enter the identity and tax iID nformation for the non-profit that received my donation, so won't be surprised if the IRS requests this information.

Please track past uses of the Hope Credit and American Opportunity Credit for us. I have no way to know if or when I have taken those credits in the past. Turbotax asks me when or how many times I have take those credits. That should be information that Turbotax brings in with the import from last year.

I had to open the instructions for form so many times and read and read them over and over again because there was no help like in previous version of turbo tax. There should be a what does this mean and where on my documents i can find the information. The only thing turbotax offers is more lawyer written language and an option to give more money to TurboTax for obtaining help.
