As usual the TurboTax desktop program was helpful and made doing taxes each year predictable and almost routine. I like the option of working on what I need rathe than the step-by-step. I've always found TurboTax accurate and have never had an issue with any of its calculations.

I have used it for years and typically have no issues and get back what I feel that I am due. However this year I needed to include a specific form with my return and when I went through the guided walkthrough instead of asking me additional question to actually determine the correct application of an entry TurboTax just decided that wasn't necessary and claimed the entry was income and didn't offer the form I knew for a fact must be included to exclude the entry as income. Fortunately, since I've used the product for so many years I knew I could access it and fill the form in via the menu and was able to correctly include the entries on the applicable form. If I was unaware of this it could have cause a inaccurate return and financially costly mistake.

The Mac version is missing some basic functionality. When entering charitable contributions, the column for the amount is not wide enough and the list of organizations cannot be sorted alphabetically. When transmitting the returns electronically, the program does not automatically save the return so when you exit as suggested a later log back in - the program responds it is ready to file the returns.

The program interface remains familiar over the years, so doing taxes is quick and easy. The amount of upselling to the online version and to their "experts" is OVER THE TOP! I will be looking for an alternative to TurboTax next year, as I am sure other programs are equally good, and don't have the upselling.

As a retired former CPA, I found TurboTax 1040 to be quite easy to navigate. One tip is that if you can't find the input screen for something needed to prepare the tax return, try going through the on-screen display of the tax form itself to make the necessary entry. I found this to be the case when I needed to enter the IRS Identity Protection PINs.

I have always loved and used turbo tax. Today I was instructed to download the 2022 software in order to do so. When I completed all steps to file these taxes, I was informed they have to be printed and mailed and I was unable to use the software to do so. I am very disappointed that I spent $80.00 to have to mail my return in. This seems very redundant and a waste of money.

Too many questions. For example, I know I want the standard deduction but I can't just select that as an option. For other categories I have to endure a long list of questions just to select one option. Maybe you could combine related questions and ask about the block, giving the option to skip or select at a higher level.

I just finished e-filing my state and federal returns. I saw a lot of negative comments online associated with the 2025 product, which made me a little leery of buying it for the 2025 tax year. I ended up buying it and found this software to be just as awesome as it's been over the last three decades I've used it. I'll definitely be using it again for 2026 taxes.

You have a defect on the page to enter a payment address when paying for state return. When using a laptop you are not able to access the bottom of the form to continue to enter your payment. Due to this issue I had to go to a different set up so that I could hook up a large monitor to complete my filing. In addition, saying that my state return is free and then charging $25.00 to file it is dishonest.

Need to inform user expecting a refund and wanting direct deposit into their bank account that you have that option during the last e-filing stage for both federal and state refunds. I spent alot of time trying to figure out if the state refund to be direct deposit or not prior to the e-filing step.
