Desktop version doesn't have a good flow. It would be OK if it marked everything that you reviewed as reviewed like the web version, but if you don't actually enter data for a topic, it looks as though you didn't look at it, so it just makes it very difficult to see what sections you've finished reviewing. makes it very hard to double-check what you still need to look at.

I was not as impressed as former years. It was more difficult to process my taxes. I've been doing my own taxes my entire life and have been using your tax program since your inception. I cannot print my state and federal separately without having to go through the entire forms to find them. Very disappointing, especially the fees taken out of my Federal refund.

Had a very difficult time returning to where I had been before when entering/discarding 1099-Q information which turned out to not be required for a dependent college student with a 529 distribution and part time income. Also, there was no appropriate guiding query or check regarding student campus job exemption from FICA and Medicare withholding.

Previously liked using Turbotax, but getting spammed with many requests to buy Tax Advice several times at the beginning, throughout, at the end, and even a survey why you did not buy the Tax Advice is annoying, so much that likely will not use Turbotax in the future. I do not mind being asked once in the beginning or at the end, but I do not pay to get spammed with ads to buy more. If I want paid tax advice I would pay an accountant.

The inability of TurboTax Premier to distinguish between a Joint Filing or a Married Filing Separately recommendation is a problem. I recognize the difficulty of a definitive recognition-- due to what needs divided between spouses with separate filings -- but at least the program might say something like "We recommend that you consider separate filings due to the incongruity of your spouse individual finances."

The overall functionality of this year's TurboTax desktop product was very good. One item that could be improved is guiding a user to enter their IP PIN if they require one, explaining that this is different from the PIN a user chooses prior to filing. Not understanding this created a great deal of confusion for me and resulted in my return being rejected multiple times.

Filing 2025 was relatively easy. Estimating my 2026 estimated tax was somewhat confusing. I finally got it to work, BUT this 2025 version would not allow me to enter the expected withholding from our IRA distributions. The 2024 version had a place to enter expected withholding. It defaulted to the 2024 withholdings and would not let me override it. This caused the quarterly estimates to be overstated, thus making the payment vouchers incorrect. I will have to override the vouchers manually.

Turbo tax should immediately display the amount of the standard tax deduction available -- BEFORE walking the customer through all of the itemized deductions. In my case the standard deduction for me and my wife was more than $40,000. I wasted a considerable amount of time and effort going through the itemized deductions because I didn't realize how huge the standard deduction was. If the standard deduction had been shown BEFORE walking me through the itemized deductions I would have quickly realized the futility of playing with the itemized deductions. I am angry about the fact that I can't save and print my return without needing to subscribe to Adobe Acrobat. I assume you get a sizeable kickback from Adobe at my expense -- I don't appreciate this gross inconvenience. It should be illegal for a company to not disclose such a policy -- forcing an unexpected subscription -- prominently to the purchaser before the purchaser buys the product.

I have always liked turbotax in my I think 30 years of using it, but this years version was the most frustrating I have ever experienced. After a few days of sorting out what looks like this version seemed to have carried over all my income accounts from last year with no information on the forms but my name and SS number and the name of the account provider, but when I imported some of my main account providers it did not replace the ones it carried with the ones I imported so I ended up with double the accounts and half of them did not have any info which caused error saying needed attention but I could not figure that out because the ones that were brought over from 2024 did not bring over the associated account numbers. What a mess I would be glad to better explain this to anyone interested. ALSO I really hope you do not force us to change over to your online version, if so I will no longer us turbotax going forward

1 - The aggressive upselling for tax advice is very annoying. Ask me once, not repeatedly. 2- I'm lucky enough to live in a state with no state income tax. Turbo tax knows this. Why was I repeatedly harassed about a state return. My experience "Do you want to do a state return? NO! Are you sure you don't want to do a state return? NO! NO! Are you really really sure you don't want to do a state return? NO! NO!! NO!!!!....a few minutes later...We notice you didn't do a state return...are you sure...." What is wrong with you people????
