I am able to calculate my taxes myself using TurboTax.Have done so for several years. I now use the home-and-business version. The interface is pretty good; handy retrieval from prior year's return. Nice break-out bubbles for explanations in context, helpful on-line community, and easy access to purchase individual help. Didn't need that help this year, but last year the person was knowledgeable and courteous. I will use TurboTax again next year.

The program is less flexible than last year and brings in numbers and information from who knows where. I tried to edit these things but cannot find the source anymore. Additionally, the help feature stinks. Before it was nice to hit the F1 key when on a field and get some help text but now that feature has been eliminated. Furtherore, any help requires you be connected to the internet. Bad Bad Bad. Its gotten to the point that I feel I have to buy the Audit Defense to feel safe because I don't trust what the program is doing or some of the things it does. I'm stuck with it because of carryback and carryforeward information that I have no ideal where its getting it from outside of the previous years use.

I have done TurboTax for over 30 years and will continue to do so, but this year was much more difficult since I had to buy a new computer (Win 10/11 issue) and no physical disc. Therefore I wouldnt add anything more to my plate, even though I was offered a "free" use and filing online with pro help. I like the security of having my data etc. in my own hands.

I have been using TurboTax since it first came out. It seems like I answer questions that don't record but it catches is on the final review. I have never had an audit and I get all the deductions allowed. I do my taxes, my mothers and sister in-laws.

The question on the taxability of social security income earned outside the US should have a LARGE warning if the user says "yes" to confirm their choice as it is easily overlooked and the wrong answer can have a huge impact on the tax liability or refund. I only caught my error because my social security was being shown as zero taxable didn't make sense so I started digging and found the question I answered wrong at the BOTTOM of the screen.

TurboTax makes the process easy by transferring previous year's tax information if you used TurboTax to the current year, provides step-by-step guidance through the process, provides deeper information if requested, allows access to the form to make changes, points out errors that need attention, automatic downloads of brokerage information is a time saver, and automatic filing is the icing on the cake.

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.

Sorry, Intuit, the 2025 Tax Year TurboTax was the worst that I can remember, and I've been using TurboTax since the beginning. You got rid of fan favorites, charitable goods calculator, and you push selling your 1-offs too much throughout the process. Sad people, I know I am not the only one that thinks this way, just Google, "TurboTax sucks this year" and see what people are saying. This is constructive criticism, get back to basics a quite short cutting in order to save a dime.

i've used turbotax products for several years and have not had any issues. i plan to continue using the products in the future. there was a minor issue this year with the download of the required updates. the update froze and would stop the program. after a visit to the turbotax help pages, and manually downloading the update and installing, the problem was resolved. so just a minor issue.

Was very compilated this year having to get windows. also getting the program to download was so hard was about to forget using turbo tax after using this program for over10 years. i hope next year is better With the problems this year was hard to give a high rating.
