Rated 3 out of 5 by from Why can't you fix your program glitches? Fix your program so it loads properly in Windows 10. Took me over 2 hours and many visits to the support forum to load the program successfully. ALSO, for the third consecutive year, a gltch in the Prescription line of the Medical Expense Worksheet shows figure as estimated regardless of what the user does. Had to delete this worksheet in order to e-file successfully

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Failed e-file Has for many years adequately calculated taxes but couldn't use it to e-file. IRS rejects return (probably for invalid reasons) but TurboTax was no help in correcting problem either on-line, or in support phone call. Finally mailed returned again as always previously.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Turbo Tax is helpful Turbo needs to add a field where we can explain problem we are having... at the moment we have to search for what frequent question applies more to our situation and sometimes none of them do. My 2021 electronic was rejected several times because 2020 AGI for my Wife Erlinda was not what IRS has in file; we only have one AGI for both of us so we got a 2020 transcript from IRS and line for AGI amount is exactly what is listed in our 2021 filing for 2020 AGI. Why are they saying AGI for my wife is not what they have when we only have one combined AGI. Following your suggestions we used 0. last try and we are waiting for acceptance by IRS. Thanks for your time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Turbo tax is helpful We submitted our filings back in April, before the deadline, we thought everything was done but then we found an email saying they had been rejected, this e-mail was in the middle of a lot of other unrelated e-mails so we missed it when you sent it. Our suggestion is that you send 2 or 3 reminders when filings are rejected because in day and age there are too many emails received everyday.
