State Filing section buggy. Requires sign-in even using installed software version. No way to exit short of signing in (didn't have a sign-in) or hard cancelling, which I had to do from task manager. And presses hard to do state filing even though WA doesn't have state income tax. Pretty stupid. Should be able to take "NO" for an answer. "Senior discount" new this year. Some explanation would be good. Spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find where that came from; whether was accurate.

TurbpTax has evolved beyond its realistic use. Eliminating the CD is problematic. And some of the new features are not helpful. I have been using TurboTax since its inception and find last year and this years versions not as user friendly. though i still like the product.

When you use the guide me through everything feature and finish a section it throws you to the top of the page which you then have to scroll down to where you were. Makes for a lot of wasted time scrolling down plus the confusion of thinking you are in the wrong place. Turbo tax in the beginning did put you back at the bottom and was easy to get to your next subject.

- First year of using desktop TurboTax on a Mac after years of Windows. Switching between guided and exploring sections could be smoother. - Missing a box on an imported 1099R turned my IRA distribution into Canadian Railroad Pension income.... - And, as always, paying for e-file (state) is just greedy. E-file saves everyone time and money. Use that savings to fund e-file. As I have done for several years now, I will open my state return and copy the numbers over into my state's free online e-file system...

The 2025 desktop version is poorly done, made useless changes to the pages for data entry that made it harder to enter, such as Form 1099R's. On top of that, it lists all 1099R's only by the first given entry name, even though I have three seperate/different forms to report (from Fidelity Investments, given as "National Financial Services"), so when TurboTax does an error check and says it needs to be corrected, I don't know which of the three it is talking about!! Also, the import function didn't operate properly, as these 1099Rs should all have been imported when I imported my records from Fidelity, as well as other financial institutions, I had to add them all manually!

I use TurboTax because of my investments. Investments illustrates the good and the bad of TurboTax from my point of view. Assuming that TurboTax is correct in choosing to fill out the numerous schedules and worksheets that it does, then that is a good point because I would never have had the patience to do that. On the other hand, in investments as well as other categories, there is no way for me to check on the numbers that TurboTax generates until the return is completed, so I have t have faith that they are correct as I proceed through the data entering phase.

Had a slight problem with reporting 1099 information. My previous year 1099 suppliers list was pre-populated (as in years past), but I was unable to edit them to report this years data. In other words, the edit button did not work and so I had to reenter the institution information fresh, then delete the same pre-populated institution, since I couldn't edit it.

First the UI has gotten increasingly confusing. The flow is not as smooth as it used to be and it does seem like the guided process is not as easy to follow as before. There are definitely elements of the UI that is not intuitive as to what the user is supposed to do. For instance, the interest portion used to walk through all the entries from the previous year and ask if they were still relevant but now we just get a bunch of boxes all with "needs review". Ok, it needs review but what am I supposed to do with that. I don't know what is going on with TurboTax but it is increasingly getting more and more cryptic for the user. Just go back to the way it was a few years back when the flow and UI made much more sense.

The reason I have used Turbo Tax for the last several years is the simplicity of Its Deductible for contributions. That feature was removed this year. The loss of this feature cost me several thousand dollars in deductions since I expected Turbo Tax to include Its Deductible and I had no time to perform due diligence on values when I filed my return.

TurboTax made filing my taxes way easier than I expected. The step-by-step guidance is clear and simple, and I liked how it automatically imported my W-2, saving me time. The interface is very user-friendly, and the error checks gave me confidence everything was accurate. It is a bit pricey, but for the convenience and peace of mind, it’s worth it. Overall, a smooth and stress-free experience!
