This year I did the Premier version still using most of the Forms from last year. The interview process did not check correctly for double form entries transfers and seem to forget that a 1099-R was taxable which I corrected. IRA withdraw showed in 1040 no tax taken out and BOX 7 option 7 selected didn't really fix that until you go to 1099-R manually goto "Verify Box 7 Dist. Code" and review the options and select A4 in my case else the Turbo TAX totally misses this review ck from what I experience. For ADU Labor/Material deductions I never could figure which form to use so I ended up putting it on Schedule C since this was to be used for support services. Section 179 and 1065 all that is confusing for that sort of tax deduction.

TT is generally useful for completing Federal and State tax returns however it includes some extremely annoying and persistent (over the course of many years) 'features' that are infuriating! There are many cases where the current year's TT asks me to enter prior year's values even though one of the advertised and useful features of TT is the 'import' of prior year's return into the current year's return so that I don't have to remember all those values. The 2025 TT continues problems in easily completing the Foreign Income Tax Credit calculations and schedules. The problem begins with the Income section where the interview does not itemize more than 1 source of Foreign Income per broker. The 2025 TT was improved by providing explicit instructions on how to manage Foreign Income which was helpful however those neglected to mention if one has multiple country sources to use the VAR entry and to total those into a single entry per broker. It might be better if TT would simply collect the foreign tax amounts, the country source and the income amounts that generated the taxes individually and decide what to do with them later in the interview. Then during the Foreign Tax Credit calculation part of the interview for some unknown reason TT automatically first uses any Foreign Tax originating from a K1 even though that amount might not be the largest (the Fed requires the largest amount to be listed first on the schedule) which the explicit instructions say to 'delete' and re-enter later. Why doesn't TT bucket this amount with the other foreign taxes so the user can more easily select the largest - or better simply fix this entire flow so the user doesn't have to waste so much time with fussy unproductive allocations ? That is what such software is supposed to do for us - RIGHT ?

Really like TurboTax for our rental property. Makes the filing simple. I haven't used any oher program so I relly don't know if there is another one out there that would save me $. It also allows you to do different things to see if submitting a different way gives a better return. One thing I would like is to better understand how safe it is to do the online version. Always worried about identity theft and always used the download because I don't like all our info "out there".

Not my favorite software and not my favorite activity to be doing taxes. I am not thrilled with TurboTax. The interface looks like something that hasn't been updated since Windows 95. It's a bit clunky. I used it because my brokerage account gets complicated and (after significant effort disabling browsers and turning pop-up windows on, with no guidance from within the software, but rather looking up problems other people are having) it's useful to be able to have that part done automatically.

This product is the worst iteration of Turbo Tax yet. I've used Turbo Tax for over 25 years, only occasionally trying other software. "Learn more" buttons don't work. No option not to download updates every time it opens (I prefer to download when I'm nearly done inputting). Sometimes opens assuming you want to start a new return, vs. what you've been using. And finally numerous ads to buy professional advice, which I don't need for my simple return.

Changing the look-and-feel of the product from last year to this year made it a little awkward for me, since I am used to a particular look-and-feel. I also could not find the non-cash charitable contribution valuation guide that was previously in the program.

I want to enter data myself, not pull from institutions. on the laptop that means scroll down, pick enter myself for every number entered. two extra steps for each financial piece of information. tedious. direct pick for entering numbers would be nice. i prefer to efile feds and mail state. yes to save money. to get to state print i have to go thru a step saying i want to paper submit my fed taxes (after i have already efiled feds). not clear. not intuitive. need a direct or better explained way to get to state paper submission

The TurboTax desktop version is straightforward until multiple schedules involved. I had to buy the Tax Advice service to get issues/questions resolved/answered. But the Tax Advice Service is really worth the money. I'd think I called 4 times and they were all very helpful to guide me move forward. Definitely recommend to get it.

The 1099 inputs are very time consuming and frustrating for the user especially if you have hundreds of option trades. TurboTax needs to recognize through the description option trades and ignore $0 cost basis since the net gain/loss amount is already calculated on the 1099. TurboTax also does not allow the user to do sufficient bulk updates on the 1099 form to make the "Review Needed" error go away.

I have been using Intuit tax desktop software since the early days of MacInTax. Never have experienced any problems or inaccuracies. I trust their products to be easy to use and up to date on all tax law changes. And I have for many years had returns with incomes in multiple states. As my tax returns have increased in complexity, I have moved up the scale of their various product offerings. While I think some of their add-on item pricing is a bit high, the convenience always wins out when it is time to actually file my returns.
