This may be my last year using TurboTax. If Intuit takes TurboTax to Online only next year like they they are, I will go to another product like TaxAct who says they will ALWAYS offer a standalone version of their product. I have been using TurboTax since 1984 with Version 1.0a so this is a huge disappointment. Intuit's choice. Standalone version and keep Customers or Cloud-based only and you've lost a lot of people like me.

Spent hours trying to update and couldn't file without serious troubleshooting on my part. I doubt I will use TT again although up until this year I have been very happy with it. Downloading the patch (which had to be installed 3x before "taking"), turning off windows security features, running as administrator, uninstalling/reinstalling TT over again, etc. Could NOT file until all these issues were resolved. So frustrating and just not worth it!!!

I refiled my Wisconsin State taxes after receiving a message that my State return was rejected. I was told an update was coming on February 13, 2026 regarding how Wisconsin handles Wisconsin retirement income. I did the update, refiled State, and was rejected again. I am resubmitting on February 14. Now we'll see. You should have had this ready to go BEFORE February 1st!

I have been a long-time user of intuit products and have prepared my taxes using TurboTax since the late 1980's. In years past, I have found the software to be very straightforward. However, the 2025 TurboTax Deluxe Desktop version has made an onerous annual chore far less manageable. The 2025 rendering is comparable to a beta version with plenty of bugs yet to resolve.

The format seemed a little user friendly than last year particularly the transfer portal. I also miss the built in virtual help that was part of the format a couple of years ago. Also missed having the disc as in years past, but the program does help the DYI user.

I have been using for 20+ years. All excellent. I don't know what happened to the 2025 version. Full of changes causing glitches; I answered all questions and the answers were not populated on certain Forms 8606. The IRA/RMD calculations were not clear, etc., etc. It took me more than twice as long to be able to complete and finish. I was not a happy camper. Did Intuit respond nationally to explain what happened? I am wondering if 2026 will be the same. I may be trying out another service if Intuit doesn't explain what happened to all it's users. Thank you.

I didn't like the idea that I was turbotax was trying to force me to use the online method, and always trying to sell me more than I needed. The trouble trying to continue a return when Turbotax always wanted to start a new return instead. I will concider a different program next year.

Desktop version does not E-File if you are enrolled in IRS IP PIN. The IRS IP PIN uses a 6 digit number. Turbo Tax only allows for input of a 5 digit number, although the printout shows a 6 digit space. The 5 digit number is not printed out on the 1040 form. So you either print and mail, or opt out of the IRS IP PIN system.

Worked well but you need to make filing via us mail easier. Not all state returns require efile, and GA allows us to mail our return in a return if nothing is owed. Once I chose efile I could not go back to change it Perhaps under each filing, use check boxes for method of filing, choices could be efile and file via us mail. then based on choice, TT could go down that flow path.

I did not enjoy starting my return only to have to stop because a form was not ready to take data. I understand updates but to just not work at all. Also, I encountered many glitches this time where I would go to a specific area, say forms, and could not get back to the input screen. I would have to shut down and come back in.
