The step by step process was more cumbersome than previous years. The steps were not as clear and it took longer to input our info. The import from external financial sources (investments primarily) was very clunky. TT should recognize that downloads from firms that were used in years past should be recognized instead of creating a new download.

It insisted that I checkmark a box about high deductible health plans on tax form 8889. I did NOT have a high deductible health plan. I had a good health insurance plan with low deductibles and good benefits with a HSA from my large company. VERY annoying!

After 80% of taxes complete desktop program would not open. 10 hours spent researching and attempting to repair. Did NOT call TT as numerous reviewers testified they were of no help. Research indicated Redistributables were likely culprits. Downloaded new ones and eventfully achieved an opening. All fine for...6 Days when problem repeated. Again an hour or two fix. After achieving a restart I put computer in sleep mode with TurboTax still open requiring no further restarts. Help/Search aid was the absolute WORST I've ever experienced on an internet site. It found NOTHING I ever searched for. Google faster and more accurate.

Turbo Tax is very helpful for preparing my tax returns. But trying to E file my state tax return has been horrible for years. I select to pay for E filing the state tax return by credit card and Turbo Tax page stays grayed out so the information does not go anywhere. As a result, I have to call someone in Turbo Tax support to have them make the purchase using my credit card and then they give me the authorization. This has been like this for as long as I can remember. On March 12, 2026, I attempted to file my taxes and had the same problem with the credit card information staying grayed out. This credit card is one that was on file with Turbo Tax. A purchase was made on March 12th for $25 for E filing my state tax. The authorization never came down that I was supposed to get. This morning March 13th, I again attempted to E file my taxes. This time as I put information in for the credit card purchase, the Continue box allowed me to click on it. It cost me another $15 in addition to the $25 on March 12th to file the state tax. Something has got to get better.

The printing & saving of the state return was not very easy and required me to jump thru hoops to figure out how to do it since I wanted to mail the state return. you have everything focused on e-filing the state. It needs to get easier or I will need to use other options.

I have been buying TurboTax for years. This is the first year I have had issues. Can't return and doesn't work on my computer. They send you to online not telling you that it negates the other returns you could have used this for and it is only good for 1 return.

In some ways the tax program was more difficult than in past years. I found that questions were asked without explanation of their meaning. Things were explained better in previous years. regardless, I feel that Turbotax is the best tax program available'

Too difficult to import the return that Turbo Tax has prepared for me for the past 20 or so years. Way too difficult. And you want me to switch to the online version AFTER I've paid for the desktop. You folks are always pushing the hard sell ... too hard.

TurboTax is great except for some annoyances. TT does not import 1099R forms well. From Fidelity, Schwab. I spent way too much time repeatedly filling in basic info like name, address, etc. Why doesn't TT know my state tax liability from last year? I used TT and it has this info already. I had a fine for underpayment of my state tax. Why? I made estimated payments during the year as directed by TT. TT should pay the fine.

It was easy enough to use, but at the end of filing my 3rd federal tax return, my 2 younger children and myself, TurboTax said I had exceeded the 5 returns allowed by TurboTax. I ignored it and clicked on continue and it went on but I found this to be tricky and not upfront. Also it is free to file Ohio taxes online with Ohio so why does TurboTax change you $25 when it is free.
