I have been using TurboTax for many years. There is always problem with timing of when the program is ready to use. Several things end up being complicated for no reasons. Alway problem with extracting data for sale regarding short term, have to go to each item and check the short term

THIS REALLY APPLIES TO ALL THE TOPICS ABOVW. Not as efficient, reliable, and intuitive as previous years. Clunky ins accessing previous years data and then not complete requiring lost of manual work arounds and re-entry of items that previous years brought in with prior information.

Technology and ability to navigate remained easy, but misleading prices. Advertised for being free to efile federal, that was not the case, it was an extra $40 at the end to file. Advertised to being free to efile one state, that was not the case, it was $25 with a $10 credit at the end to file. Also, advice is now $60.

I completed the federal and state tax returns and filed them electronically on 3/20/26 with no problem. Later, I did the what-if, which I normally do. I always selected "Do not save" to keep the original return intact. I never had this problem until this 2025 deluxe federal return was utterly programmed wrong. I had to waste time and re-enter the original data to fix this flaw. And I learned that getting help or contacting technical support about the software flaw was so frustrating and learned that the community support is a joke and totally confusing to get any answer to those voluminous old questions. I plan to go back to H&R Block next year despite my frustration with their missing tax forms.

I already made a comment that I was unable to import any of my information from my bank and my broker. It said I needed Quickbooks or TXF files. I don't have Quickbooks or TXF files, so I had to enter everything manually. That was very annoying. Also, I did not want to file my state tax forms electronically, and indicated that . However everything I printed referred to me filing electronically. My tax form showed a large N after the "e-file opt out" question, and I was unable to change that. I had clicked that I was NOT filing that tax form electronically. I am vey disappointed and that is why I gave only 3 stars this time.

This year there were two areas that I had to go to the forms and input data to fix omissions by the software. Even though the information was requested and given, it was not recorded and thus I had to go in manually and make the notation. This happened with the RMD 1099R. It did not record that all the required distribution had benn made. The other area was it did not give me the option I wanted for the Alabama state tax. I had to go into the forms and select the higher amount.

I have been using TurboTax since 2005 and MacInTax for a decade before that. I am a happy customer. The best thing tha I can say about it is that it has been getting more reliable over the past couple of years. In the past, my routing was to use the software to fill out and print a PDF, review it with a red marker and go back to correct mistakes or fill in missing supplemental information. That didn't change this year but there were no errors, just optional entries. Great job, Intuit!!

Not as user friendly this year. Guidance has bugs that need to be fixed. One saying I had Canadian IRA and others saying I had to associate 1099-MISC with correct tax form. I had $.92 cents in this category. Not being able to correct this caused me to redo the taxes just to get the same error. Hours spent for nothing. I had to call and have someone screen share with me just to maneuver through your darn program. PLEASE change how you list and approach this next year.

TurboTax used to be an excellent product for 'normal' taxpayers. I no longer think this is the case. If I wanted to consult with an accountant I wouldn't use TurboTax, yet the product is headed towards that very eventuality. Make it easy for the average taxpayer and stop trying to sell 'professional help'. It used to be a GREAT product that I used to highly recommend to friends; that is no longer the case.

TurboTax user for 25 years. Input screens seem to be getting so simple (dumbed down) that they are now confusing as to what data needs to be input. This leads me to question TurboTax's accuracy in calculating the various IRS forms. A first time user may not catch all of the nuances. All of the questions I had with TurboTax caused me to take longer to do the 2025 Fed taxes than expected. Several areas where state ID information is requested in 1099-R section. Texas not listed in selection screen as a choice. 1099-R data input did not place amounts into 1040 form where I expected them. Input was reviewed and found to be correct. Deleted input completely and re-entered information; amounts on 1040 form were then placed where expected. 1099-R RMD screen is very confusing. As a first time taker of RMDs, I have until April 2026 to take my RMDs. I actually took them in Dec 2025. The way the screen appears to be worded, it said I needed to input $0 as my RMD number for 2025. This makes no sense. I called TurboTax, they confirmed this was correct. Not sure what underlying screens or year to year RMD tracking is affected. Screen needs major wording clarification. Also, why is TurboTax updated every time I log in? If software updates change my situation after I've input data or filed my taxes, how is my filing affected? It still updates my 2024 version if I open it!
