Excellent help from Brandy in Oklahoma who helped with payment glitch. Same trouble I had last year. Spent several hours having to upgrade my OS, downloading Chrome and restarting computer. Last year I had to mail my return even though I paid for efiling. Feel like I should qualify for refund.

I have been a loyal TurboTax user for many years. Each year, it feels like it gets more and more difficult to purchase the software and to do my tax return. For years, I have always e-filed my federal and state returns. This year, TurboTax would not allow me to e-file because there was a 0 on line 27a of Part II on the Profit or Loss from business form. I could not figure out why a 0 would prevent me from e-filing. I was forced to spend $60 and had to wait over 1 hour and 15 minutes for on-line support. In the end, I was guided on how to remove the 0 and then I was able to e-file. To describe this experience as frustrating is a huge understatement. I had to spend extra money and a lot of extra time just to get my simple tax returns done and e-filed. I will say the woman that helped me online was great and was able to figure it out, but it took even her, an experienced TurboTax support person of 5 years, quite a while to find and fix the error. I greatly appreciate her help. However, I am very disappointed in the software. I am using the Home & Business version running on Windows 11.

Most of it is good and straight. However for self-employment it is not that straight. Also when importing directly from financial institutions, and filing jointly, it is hard to tell whose forms are which. The past year cross reference is great, but one cannot just get to the details of how it got there without opening the past year software and clicking through a lot. Many deductions are buried deep and cannot easily find it. Also, it would be great to have a feature to say what percentage is one being taxed at for a quick personal satisfaction.

I'm a Turbo-Tax customer for over 20+ years. This is the first time that the software failed miserably. 1) The first problem was it wouldn't report what the error was. I contacted Technical Support (twice) for help. Although the technicians diligently worked with me to ascertain what was wrong, they both concluded that I had to start over. 2) During the second attempt, I was not able to IMPORT any of the 1099s from financial institutions for the search mechanism would not report any of the them.

The internet requirements make it quite a chore and I will most likely seek a different alternative next year. I have used turbo tax for over 20 years and always buy the desk top version because i live on a large farm without internet. Additionally, the new "two factor authentication" was a VERY inconvenient surprise. I originally used my landline for the phone number and never changed it, causing me to spend hours on the phone with customer service until I got someone to go to my house and answer the phone while I was in town at an internet location. Ended up having to do this AGAIN for STATE download. Your people assume every business has internet, but were you too busy eating to consider that most farms do not? Cows don't live on Main Street, USA and the federal government still considers internet "Entertainment" as is Cable TV. Hence local providers are not required to provide service (electricity and wired telephone ARE mandated by federal law to be provided as necessities). Satellite internet is expensive and doesn't work in poor weather, which is the only time I am inside. Although this may be the "Digital Era" of the Oil Age, feeding humans is the single most important thing since the beginning of existence and will be as long a mankind is around.

This was the first year I found the software to be frustrating. You would get on a screen make a choice and move forward but if you changed your mind and wanted to go back to change the original selection that screen was no longer available. For example, I chose not to upload investment PDF or photo and enter it on my own but then wanted to go back and upload the file -- that option screen was no longer available. I'm sure that I could have searched for it but this is extremely frustrating. Also the software was not able to successfully connect to T. Rowe Price to get my info; said look for pop-up window or if you don't get a pop-up it has connected but it just sat there doing nothing.

I've used TurboTax for so many years. At least 20 or more and it has always been my go-to when doing my taxes whether for personal or business. I remember back in the day, the little videos that were in the software to assist you along the way. And that little audio jingle. But with all that aside, I would highly recommend TurboTax to any and all who desire to do their own taxes and want to learn about the savings and deductions that are available to all working and retired people.

TT continues to be confusing internally. I have many questions throughout the return prep process that are not answered clearly or readily. I also run into issues that require my calling your so-called "Product Experts," and of the several I spoke with this year I had only one positive interaction; the others were not only not very knowledgeable, but they used speaker phones or some microphone system that made them difficult to hear, especially since they had foreign accents - NEITHER of which is helpful.

Had completed 95% of my 2025 return, only the actual transfers to the retirement account were outstanding. TurboTax application installed an update and I lost all of my progress and had to start over from scratch. Then I was unable to edit the value for self-employed health insurance without going directly to the Forms backup worksheet. Why is not an option available in the step-by-step menus?

I've used Turbo Tax for over 20 years, the Home and Business version as I'm a small business owner. I find it easy to use especially now that I'm familiar with the way it works. However, it is very, very frustrating that I can't file the state tax form for free. I'm owed $40 refund from Iowa but would have to pay $20 to receive that refund. That reduces my refund to $20. If I file by mail, it would be over 30 pages of forms, both federal and state forms. Ridiculous. It does make me rethink using Turbo Tax. But I'm tied to your program with how it gathers my info from previous years which is easy.
