While I have been using TurboTax since 1987, there are still some annoyances in the current versions. One is that you can't mark some fields as "estimated" (this really helps when starting to input placemarker data before final reports are available). A bunch of other annoyances that I don't have time to list here. I'm dismayed to find out you no longer support Windows 10 for the 2025 tax year.

I am appalled at the cost of e-filing through Turbo Tax. Then, after I asked it to print my returns for the filing cabinet, it only printed the summary. 45 minutes later, I am still trying to print something that looks like a tax return. I will not be using turbo tax after this year.

By far, the most difficult and disappointing experience I have had in the over 10 year period that I have used Turbotax. The push to online usage is so obviously meant to increase what is an unclear, more expensive cost structure that it feels almost like a scam. This version of Home and Business is second only to the Business version I had to also use in the past which was virtually more of a hindrance than an aid. There even appear to be some obvious glitches. Out of nowhere, a Canadian retirement information screen came up after I had chosen none was required - and then it had to be deleted. Part of my 1099-INT was duped - and both had to be deleted. My discouragement with the desktop version this year is not going to encourage me to transition to online at a higher price - it is sadly encouraging me to look to a competitor. If I needed to pay a professional, I would do so with a non-virtual person.

I have used TurboTax software for several years to prepare my tax returns and a small number of returns for family members and close friends. It is the best tax software program available in my opinion. You don't need to be a tax expert to use TurboTax. You just need to be able to answer questions about yourself and your income and expense situation.

It's a very good product to work with but there are some questions that are very confusing. Also, once you put an answer in some question and you put the wrong answer and you want to correct it, it does not let you. In the past, I used turbo tax for self employment and if ask a question, do you have a employer that did not give you a 1099 and you could answer yes or not and it walk you through. This year it did not have that question. I have to call turbo tax to walk me through. I don't know how long they are going to take to help me walk through the phone call or chat. This is the first time I going to call turbo tax to see how fast or slow they help me with that. Will see?

I find TurboTax to be quite comprehensive. Th only issues I had pertained to using the search function to drill down (foreign income and tax). I actually appreciate the level of detail and the pathways set up for me in order to leave no stone unturned.

Been a TurboTax user since the start, many years ago. Works well and user interface consistency over the years makes working with it easy. Importing previous year's returns helps to ensure I address similar income or deduction year over year. Simplifies jumping to sections I need to input information into.

Key functionality was eliminated in the 2025 version. Its deductible is missing and replaced with a terrible search feature that was so bad I had to find something else on the internet. They also use an AI bot for help that provides usesless search help that isn't relevant for the search question.

I'm sure some of it was due to the changes in tax code, but this year's preparation was a pain. It felt like a lot of extra work, extra questions I didn't really understand, etc. I really miss it's deductible. The lack of this tool added additional hours of work.

There is no federal or state tax law that prevents withholding income taxes in excess of 50% of wages. Form IRS W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate, Step 4: Other Adjustments (C), Extra withholding. Enter any additional tax you want withheld each pay period, allows for withholding up to 100% of your wages. For "supplemental wages" (like bonuses) exceeding $1 million in a calendar year, the IRS mandates a flat withholding rate of 37%. When combined with FICA (7.65%) and potentially state/local taxes, the total withholding can easily exceed 50%. The IRS does not penalize you for overpaying your taxes. Any amount withheld that exceeds your actual tax liability for the year will be returned to you as a tax refund after you file your return. Unfortunately, TurboTax software assumes the information on the W-2 is incorrect if withholding exceeds 50% of wages and therefore will not electronically file federal and state tax returns. Why your software doesn't asked the taxpayer to confirm the W-2 information rather than preclude electronic filing is unconscionable. Is there anything you can do short of forcing me to physically mailing income tax returns?
