If you are using turbotax on a Macbook, beware. I bought a copy of Turbotax to run on my Macbook and downloaded Turbotax without any apparent issues. No error messages or warnings appeared. When I began using Turbotax and wanted to link it to my brokerage account to download data, Turbotax told me I had two copies of Turbotax running on my computer and had to delete one copy before I could proceed. It took me hours to resolve the problem, which clearly was Turbotax's issue. This is an inexcusable bug

I've used Turbo Tax for years. I find it to be very easy to understand and to use. This was my first year using the version for Mac and I was pleased to find there were no difference from the Windows version, at least none that I came across in my simple return.

TurboTax is the best tax software I’m aware of. I do not like the change to the way the Interest and dividend forms must be selected and edited. There used to be simple list of payers under “interest” and a separate simple list of payers under “dividends” that could be selected and edited. Someone at Intuit thought combining these entries by the payer was an improvement, but it’s not (hence 4 stars instead of 5)

Turbotax is not for the fainthearted. Many steps were not intuitive, and the software issues that came up required extensive searches through forums to resolve. This happens year after year. It's still cheaper than paying a professional, but easy is it not.

In the Miscellaneous Income section, I indicated that I have no debt to pay pack or to deduct. Yet, a few pages later, TurboTax asked me to tell it about my canceled debts!!!??? Huh? I indicated earlier that I have no debt. But in this page, it gave me 2 specific year to choose from (2020 or 2021) to tell it which PPP loan did I receive and was forgiven. WHAT??? What PPP loan? I never took out nor received any PPP loan!!! Worse is that I have to choose one before it allowed me to proceed. So I back tracked and see what I did to have TurboTax prompted me for my non-existent PPP loan. I ended up getting out of this section and skipped this particular portion in order to proceed.

Overall a good experience filing again this year but one improvement can be made to allow me to e-file next year: Please add the ability to input NRA (for Non Resident Alien) in spouse's social field. My spouse is an NRA and not able to file taxes until US immigration proceeds further and she is assigned a social security number. While there was a question about NRA's in this year's turbo tax product, answering that she was an NRA for the full year still required me to input numerical values for her social security number. Since that is a required field I have to mail my returns and manually type in NRA onto the return generated by TurboTax

It would be nice to see examples of completed forms I'm working on ---it would be nice to know how to make corrections without guessing.. Also...I wasn't sure if corrections I made took care of errors correctly... a positive response/example would helpful.

I have been using Turbo Tax for years and this year has not gone smoothly. The 529 program errors caused me significant frustration--had to 'fudge' book expenses numbers to get the correct result--no tax due (until you corrected) I do taxes for my family. Just e filed the second Federal return. And I get a message that I've reached my 5 submission limit for Federal!! When I go to file the next return it better not charge me or I'll ask for a full refund on my Turbo Tax purchase.

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

Attempted to transition from Desktop to Online version of Turbotax. Unable to transfer prior year Desktop Turbotax to current year Online Turbotax. Tried many different ways, even free version of Online provided by my financial institution, but each time Online version required me to start from scratch. I gave up and purchased new Desktop version... very frustrating!
