Turbo Tax used to relatively straight forward and direct. Now it seems like every year you are asking/requiring information that is not necessary to do taxes. I don't know who you are gathering information for, the government or to sell to advertisers, but I really object. I am paying you for access to your software. You need to stick to only information needed to calculate taxes.

My only issue I had - my 1099-R has the amounts in the "1. Gross distribution", "2a. Taxable Amount" and "9b Total Employee Contributions". I should not have to go through the "Simplified Method" screens. I know how much per month is non-taxable. Turbotax should take the info input. Only IF the 2a amount is NOT filled it should it make you go through all those screens. This was my first year with 1099-R. Bottom line: IF form 1099-R has ALL the info needed please do NOT make people go through the screens. It caused some issues and took too much time.

The TurboTax desktop version is straightforward until multiple schedules involved. I had to buy the Tax Advice service to get issues/questions resolved/answered. But the Tax Advice Service is really worth the money. I'd think I called 4 times and they were all very helpful to guide me move forward. Definitely recommend to get it.

Turbo tax is easy to use and I have filed my own taxes for decades using this software. It is especially helpful with all the different forms that need to be filled in concerning interest, dividends, stock sales, etc. the help is usually very clear. It usually takes 2-3 hours for me to do my taxes, saving hundreds of dollars from paying a CPA

Attempted to transition from Desktop to Online version of Turbotax. Unable to transfer prior year Desktop Turbotax to current year Online Turbotax. Tried many different ways, even free version of Online provided by my financial institution, but each time Online version required me to start from scratch. I gave up and purchased new Desktop version... very frustrating!

I have been using TurboTax for many years and appreciate that it is pretty straight forward and easy to use. It was especially helpful when I use to itemize. I have multiple investment accounts, so I used the paid version of TurboTax to handle all of the investment information. I will usually use the import document feature but in my opinion, it is sort of a hassle and sometimes does not import all of the information, so I end up just entering the information myself.

I use the desktop version for Mac because it gives me access to the forms. I find the 'interview' process sometimes skips over or grabs the wrong information. I wish TurboTax had (a) imported my brokerage transactions with the 1099-B; (b) given me the choice to enter my brokerage transactions; or (c) imported my brokerage statement as a PDF. At the end I got the unwelcome message that I now had to find and print the statement with forms 8949 and 8453 and mail them to the IRS. This is unnecessary and more painful than any of these options. Overall though, it's OK. Outrageous however that Intuit lobbies the US government to stop them simplifying tax filing and allowing us to deal direct with the IRS as in other countries. I shouldn't really be giving you my business at all.

will not permit state tax e-filing because of a "X" in one of the worksheet boxes - but, doesn't suggest how to remove this "X" box. as such, could not e-file state, and had to print our forms and mail them. need to help clients when a mark is hard coded into a worksheet - blocks one from e-filing'

It gets easier every year but some of the questions asked are not clear. Some do not have extra notes to click on for more info. Google helped. At the end, while paying to file state return, it was not clear about charging me $40 for e-filing Fed return. I was nervous until I filed and was not charged $40.

This will be the very last year I have used your Tax software and note I have used TurboTax since its inception! For a while I did business to business sales and highly recommended your software and for over 30 years I have been involved with supporting IT for small businesses. I will no longer use or recommend your software after you crippled the software to not install on Windows 10 EVEN though Microsoft allows for additional support for Windows 10. How much did Microsoft pay to cripple your software for Windows 10?
