There were 2 glaring errors on the Idaho State Form 40 - Line 16 did not reflect the correct Standard Deduction amount. Line 18 did not reflect any amount, and should have included the deduction for qualified overtime and the $6000 Senior credit from the OBBBA

I love TurboTax. I've been using it almost from the beginning. I love that it can automatically enter all of my investment account information so I don't have to type it all in myself. I've found it to be very accurate and easy to navigate. I do all my family members' taxes on it. I don't like that it limits me to 5 efiled returns. I have more than 4 family members. That seems like an unreasonably low number to me.

Everything good except a glitch on this item below. "Dependent Wks form is complete and filled out, associated Student Wk form is filled out and has dependent specified as a student for 2025 - High School (Secondary). People Wk for dependent has blank TP/SP Link that will not populate. Form flags this as an error, if you try to efile your return it requests that you fix this error before filing. If you try to bypass the error and efile anyway it will not let you."

The product was noticeable worse this year than in previous years, with basic flaws and incapacities. For example, in step-by-step mode it was impossible to add supporting details. There were certain line items that appeared, and no way to find where they came from, or links to instructions to understand what was happening. The program is still good, but the rate of degradation is alarming. Apparently you don't even want to take the review, just keep cycling back to this lousy AI-infested interface, that is incompatible with my typing and keeps introducing typos. I'll just add some words support maybe so you'll accept it, shall I?

Having done my own taxes for over 60 years, - without software mostly, then TaxCut and now Turbo Tax, and having various semi-complex issues, I think I am well qualified to comment. Turbo Tax is quite useful , but is beginning to suffer, somewhat due to Tax code complexity, and from a number of program bugs in the effort to become more "user friendly". I found with the K-1 forms, the carry forward blocks did not function properly leading to trying various dummy (incorrect) values to be able to move on to the next line item. Then a mystery signifiant "additional deduction" appeared in the review without explanation, and there was no way to obtain a link to become informed. It turns out that this was the new "Senior Deduction." It also took a number of attempts to get the "forms" button to activate in order to verify how certain entries were being recorded- in prior years programs, this was always easy. I also discovered that a Treasury Direct 1099 has no Box 1, yet TurboTax Interest entry form has both Box 1 and Box 3, leaving one to guess whether you enter the entry twice, or only once ( the correct answer is only once, in Box 3- discovered after noticing my initial entry on both lines created a double count of the actual interest earned. I caught the error through due diligence- not Turbo Tax looking for possible errors in the final check step. I could not discover if possible or how to download K-1 entries from either of our PTP LLC's. nor from Treasury Direct. It was easier to just manually enter than search longer. I cannot e-file due to the inability of TurboTax to accept an attachment statement document upload. (an IRS Code section 266 annual filing election to accrue expenses on a land investment held for eventual sale). finally, TOO MANY solicitations to e-file, buy help, etc. endless !

I will be actively looking for opportunities to ditch turbotax next year for your unethical business practices. I purchased premier desktop with a $25 fee for state efile. When starting it prompted me to select online and said it was free after finishing, to file would have cost me 270 dollars. So I went to desktop and was unable to import my completed return so I redid it on desktop and when I went to file the option to pay with a card was not working (probably a turbotax policy) so I had to pay an additional $40 to use the refund to pay and amazingly that worked, who would have thought. I think there are now better options than turbo tax.

Turbo Tax has a problem with the estimated worksheet. If I put in the refund amount to be credited to the following year, It does not put that amount into the estimated worksheet. It still shows that I owe estimated tax even though the refund would be more than the estimated owed. This year forces you to upgrade to Windows 11 even though I can use Win 10 Pro until October 2026. Win 10 Pro works great. Win 11 has more bugs than a hotel room mattress.

I've used TurboTax for many years and have relied on it to help me file an accurate return. This is the first year that I got to a point where I had no idea why the New Jersey state section was asking me for the previous year's distribution from a pension plan. When I went to the corresponding tax form, I saw the code G from my wife's pension, indicating that a General accounting method was to be used. There was no way to change that G and no way on a menu to go automatically to the source of the G on another form. I finally found that I had answered a question in the federal EasyStep retirement plan section inconsistently for my wife's plan. Fixing that error made the confusing question on the state EasyStep page go away.

Turbo Tax used to relatively straight forward and direct. Now it seems like every year you are asking/requiring information that is not necessary to do taxes. I don't know who you are gathering information for, the government or to sell to advertisers, but I really object. I am paying you for access to your software. You need to stick to only information needed to calculate taxes.

I've used TT for years and think it's great. I am in an registered domestic partnership (California). This year I had two issues. 1. If I don't start the state return on my federal return that I will file as single, TT does not print the filing instructions. This is annoying, since I don't need to do a state return to file my federal single return. And this year I couldn't get the filing instructions to print at all for my RDP's single federal return. 2. On both single federal returns, TT "lost" my filing status and reported it as a missing field. After re-selecting it, TT proceeded but when it did the final review, IT WIPED OUT MOST OF MY RETURN and set my refund to $0. Luckily I had save my return. I ended up skipping the Final Review.
