Was extremely difficult to transmit e-files, as the program kept telling me to change items, and when changed, told me to change them back. For some reason, which I don't know why, EVENTUALLY, the returns got e-filed! Spent (and wasted) a lot of time because this was happening.

TurboTax made hundreds of accurate computations, but at the end, when I was filing an amended state return, TurboTax made one glaring mistake. I had filed a paper return to the state, and this same state requires amended returns to be filed on paper. However, TurboTax told me (incorrectly) that since I had filed the state return electronically, I did not need to send the amended return at all! No address was provided for an amended return by paper.

I have used TurboTax for over 10 years and have always given it a 5 star review. This year I was very disappointed that It's deductible was not included. I have used it extensively in the past and it saved a lot of time. What was provided with the program this year I found to be cumbersome and unusable.

I was asked by letter from California, a month ago, to submit copies of all my 1099s within 30 days, for further review. I complied and mailed all the next day. I have not heard anymore and I have not received my refund yet.

IRS assigned both of us a 6 digit PIN #. In the E File step, it only allowed 5 digits. Tried the "other tax situation" step, it only allowed one Pin input and block spouse' pin # input. HELP.

Turbo did not calculate my 2025 income tax amount correctly. The IRS sent me a notice and adjusted my claimed refund. I recomputed my income tax and it turned out that the IRS is correct. I'm not happy with Turbo Tax for 2025.

My wife is a Non-Resident Alien. I should be able to override any field on the worksheets so that "NRA" can be added. Instead, I'm having to do a post PDF-create edit in Adobe Acrobat Pro and adding the extra text right on the form. Cumbersome!

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.

In the past, I have been able to save my filed tax return as a PDF and encrypt the document. This year, it again gave me that option, but it failed to encrypt, making the file more susceptible to being hacked. I also had some challenges with the program itself. On multiple occasions, I opened it and something was off - my previous work was not showing up. I was afraid I had lost all the work I had spent time on and would have to start again. In addition, it was hard to figure out how to get out of the situation. I was eventually able to close and re-open until the correct information was there.

The convoluted sign-on process required for payment to me was a great step back from previous years. If you do something like this, you require the sign-on process when you initiate the product not at the end. I hope this is not a permanent attribute of the desk-top version.
