I had no Schedule C deductions, yet TT desktop forced me to fill out the Schedule C worksheet, which I populated with 73 zeros. PITA. Was forced to use desktop TT because online was a joke. Could not go back and fix choices I made earlier. Once you indicated "I want to enter data a certain way" there was no way to change data entry. You were stuck with your initial choice.

As usual, the 2025 Federal State Income Tax Product is very comprehensive and very intuitive with its very effective GUIDANCE tool. It takes a lot of the "guess work" out of preparing taxes and supplies easily understandable narrative to each section. This wil continue to be my "GO TO" tax prep software to use for my tax preparation.

Still has an aging clunky interface, e.g., returning from work on a section comes back to the top of the previous page instead of back to exactly the same point of initiation. also, there is still only a coarse association between the step-by-step view and form-view: the flow between these views should be much smoother and obvious. In fact, a complete re-write of the GUI to modern layouts, features, and views is getting more & more past due.

Please knock it off with the hidden fees, constant updates and installations that kept interrupting my filing process and changing my numbers, and advertisements on every video I watch or tucked between the pages of every file. I don't want to have to explain things I don't remember doing and now isn't the time to induce me to make purchases--I'm paying my taxes! I need to see that I'm saving money or getting some back! Otherwise, thank you, this was easier and cheaper than hiring someone.

TurboTax is a tried and true system. The product works as well as ever. I keep wishing they would allow for a better touch screen interface. Get into the 21st century guys, and allow someone to scroll up and down by swiping the picture, not the scroll bar. The online version is a rip-off. Tell me in the beginning how much more it's going to cost me so I don't use it in the first place. Incorporate the pdf-reading capabilities of the online version into the desktop version.

Misleading claim of free e-filing and later requiring an upgrade from Deluxe to Premium version in order to get what was already claimed to be 'free.' E-filing is essentially free with upgrade -- so state it that way. I'm printing and mailing my return to save $45 -- be upfront Intuit -- include e-file with 'Deluxe' version or don't claim it is free. Considering a new product just for that (what I view to be unethical) claim.

TurboTax doesn't generate Schedule D where I can see all my stock transactions and capital gains/looses for the year. Very disappointed!!! Similarly, even though you have all the information with you, you didn't enter the date of acquisition and cost basis for Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). That resulted in you using zero as cost basis, resulting in huge tax, which was shocking. I had to do some research and go and manually enter data for all the lots that I sold. I will consider this as a software bug.

The actual preparation of my taxes went very good. My problem is that it took me hours of research to find how to do the latest update to Turbo tax on my Macbbook Pro before it would allow my submission. I finally found it in a 2024 chat that I found doing a google search. So this has evidentially been a problem for a while. There needs to be a very visable "Updates" button on your menu.

TT has a glitch with Business deductions. It automatically enters a 0 for anything I don't need including Energy Efficient Commercial Bldg & then won't e-file, because there's a 0 on that line. It was difficult to determine how to fix this. I read several comments online.

I find the Turbo tax application simple and easy to use. I was however disappointed that I could no longer file one state tax for free with the option I purchased. I have used the same program for the last several years and was always able to submit one state tax at no additional cost.
