I didn't care for the format changes made this year, as I was used to the previous format and the new step-through entry process kept making me feel that I missing things. Found myself going back to recheck entries. Also import from my e*Trade account never worked as I have a 2-step verification and it kept telling me that info returned from the institution said that I was entering incorrect login/password info. I was able to log in via my cell, so I knew that my entries were accurate.

It was a bit confusing when efilie both h the Fed 1040 and CA 540 income tax returns. I saved the forms in one file. Does Turbo Tax only send the IRS the IRS forms, or did they transmit my Federal and Cal forms to the the IRS? Also do I receive a second confirmation showing when the Fed and Cal Tax returns were sent to both taxing agencies?

I purchased the Premier version since it is supposed to take care of investment rental properties. It does not handle a conversion of a primary residence very well. The issue wsa the partial year as home vs. rental. Clunky interface and I ended up working around the system to set it up as if it were a newly purchased property. Improvement is needed to make things easier.

Using the guided program was changed this year and not from the better. Hard to put my finger on why but generally the navigation was not as smooth and I had to go in an out to find what I was looking for. I'm likely to still use the product but not finding it as intuitive and helpful as in the past

I've used Turbo Tax for over 35 years. My returns are fairly simple, but over the years I have talked to your people. They are extremely helpful. I did not need to this year. You've got an outstanding product that is simple to use, very efficient, and very user friendly. Please do not over tweak it. I've seen companies that are trying to make their product better, but sometimes it has the opposite effect. Lord willing, I'll be using it again next year.

Overall OK, but the program can't always tell me the source of certain fields in the forms. For example, it put $1070 in a line for a REIT on QBI summary. Turbotax says the source is from a K-1 that DOES NOT EXIST! I can't get rid of it and still file my taxes electronically.

The user interface gets worse each year. When it decided there were values that needed to be fixed it did not show any context. Just a shortened name and a box to type something in. It was hard to find the line in context. Changing values that were entered wrong on the first easy time through is very difficult.

I am very disappointed that you did not have ItsDeductible for the charity deductions. What was in its place was a real pain to use. Also received an erroneous message on the payment screen for $45 for premium service so I had to call Turbo Tax and then wait a long time before being helped. The support person was excellent.

Systematically the layout is very annoying. If I have forgot to add say an item to my Schedule C. Painful process to get back thru the interview every question has to be answered again...my initial answers are not saved. I wish I could arrow thru quickly like a web page set up. I'm sure I could just do the change in the form like an override, sometimes the program won't let me do it this way.

My return actually went smoothly this year with very little frustration with TurboTax for once. Mostly because I've learned what to watch out for. My only disappointment is that they changed the charitable donation form for donated goods. You have to enter a search query for every item donated instead of there being a nice list where you can enter the quanties. e.g. (4) pair of women's dress pants and it would keep a running total of all of the donations and give you a total value. I had to write the values all down on my list, then add it myself. I will be honest, I still feel like I can't trust TT based on previous experiences, but it seemed to go well this year.
