TurboTax seems to change the manner in which it handles tax inputs. In 2025 they seemed to have ironed out some kinks that surfaced in prior year programs. 2025 me proved simple and extremely accurate in assisting me to prepare an accurate return. Thank you TurboTax for an improved product.

Have been using Turbo Tax to file my returns for years. Don't like this year 2025 filing when the Audit Advantage is free but have to disclose all information to third party. I've declined the offer but kept getting pushed to enter information including my my credit card when I try to pay for State (already used up the free one for another return). Very confusing!!! Will not use Turbo Tax next year.

I have been huge advocate of TT for many years. This year is different. First I discovered they did away with the "Its Deductible" feature for tracking charitable donations. Then, I found that TT does not accurately allow accept the depreciation and expenses associated with a Short Term Rental (STR) that is used part-time as a vacation home and in which we actively and materially participate in the management of. In order to complete my taxes accurately, I had to over-ride several cells on the forms. Little did I know, by doing so, TT would not allow me to E-File. However, TT was quick to take my $75 to E-File in 3 separate states, then not allow me to E-File. What?! Now I am out that $75, and had to print off 228 pages to manually mail my returns to the IRS and 3 states. I am confident in the accuracy of my overrides and should be allowed to acknowledge the variance and move forward with the E-filing. Not to mention, I shouldn't have to pay to E-file three state returns, only to be told TT will not allow it. Very disappointed and will be looking at all other options next year!

On one section of the software, a box was already checked and the program would not let me delete it which caused a huge problem until I figured out how to call up the form then right click on the mouse and then found "override" and clicked on that so I could correct the software's mistake. Took a long time to handle that situation and I wasn't pleased.

The new box below the spouse's SSN on Form 1040-SR is not checkable, even though all instructions were followed to do that. I was the IRS Electronic Filing Coordinator from the beginning of electronic filing and every year since until they discontinued that position, but continued as a Sr Communications Specialist. Now retired. Some of the information input in the software has improved a bit for the 2025 returns, but a bit repetitive. One place should be added, and that would be a place to indicate the date a business is closed. In my case, I closed my Colorado Mountain Drumming Business on May 31, 2025. That would explain the decrease in Income and business expenses after that date. Also, the business expense itemizations should better align with the Schedule 1040 C. It does come out in the proper boxes on the form, but it is very hard to categorize the expenses into the form listing.

In general easy to use. Annoyed by frequent pop-ups and ads for online Turbotax - "are you sure you want to use desktop Turbotax?". The need to manually make corrections to cost basis for options and RSUs is tedious as is the need to figure out the distribution of dividends between state in tax-exempt funds. Finally, a real pain that I couldn't port info for an LLC direct from online Quickbooks.

I had over 120 error messages in the final error check asking me "is this a digital investment". After going through basically all but a couple, I was asked "Do you have any digital investments?". That really annoyed me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Was aiming for 120 exclamation points, 1 for each error message) After taking considerable time saying "NO" so many times and thinking why I can't just say GLOBALLY NO, you ask me this question. "Do you have any digital investments?" Why didn't you ask me before I said "No" so many times. Be SMARTER with assessing error messages and allow us to get done more quicky. AI IS HERE. You should be smarter assessing error messages and getting through them.

For the most part, doing my Federal (with Schedule C) and NC state returns were simple. Places where improvement could be made are: * Handling of K1s on both Federal and State returns * Being able to view forms in a separate window. When doing estimates for next years income and expenses, it would have been helpful to look at the forms with this year's values at the same time. When doing state K1, it would have been helpful to look at Federal K1 worksheets. * In printing for review, it says it will only print the forms being submitted to the govt, but it printed all the worksheets as well. Give us a choice of only the forms or everything before filing and after. * In printing a long return (mine was 110 pages with worksheets), double sided is best, but the estimated tax coupons print 1 to a page, so all are on 2 pages (back to back) and I have to reprint. Why not print them all on one page and save paper. * Don't push to online only

Terrible that you thought it useful to remove "It's Deductible" from your program. What purpose did it serve you that you thought it better to remove an aspect of this program that people have been using for years. People are EXTREMELY ANGRY, as am I, as it caused me many more hours to finish my return than I would have normally spent. THIS IS AND WAS A VERY BAD MOVE ON YOUR PART...and no amount of "we apologize for the inconvenience" platitudes will make up for it. Am rethinking ever using your programming again....losing a longtime customer is very much at risk. Lastly....your idea of what constitutes profanity is ridiculous.....especially give it's what people do every day with a straw.....but then again....it really applies in this case BIG TIME.

I have confidence in the accuracy of The product. Compatibility suffers by requiring Windows 11 to run on the desktop. Invest in other versions for people who don't have or want or afford Windows 11. Features and reporting are smooth and confidence building in an accurate returns.
