Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nightmare I've used TurboTax for decades, happily, successfully. This year and last, not so much! Last year I went with the online version and had to start over three different times because there were not ways to import information without starting over. The people I called were very helpful, and eventually I got it done. This year, I found lots of problems with getting all my info from past years imported and had to start over several times. Then there was information that I did not know how to fill in that were considered errors that should have been handled by the program that I did not know how to handle or enter. It caused me great delays, and I'm late filing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 1291 Tax You need to allow someone with Section 1291Tax and 1291 Interest compute it in Turbo tax or at least allow it to be entered manually on the lines indicated in the Form 8621 for Individuals. I now need to print it, white out entries and recompute Form 1040 and Schedule 2

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 2020 FOREIGN TAX part stinks! Struggled for 2 weeks. Multiple phone calls for assistance. Submission #1 e-file rejected. Deadline extended to 10/20/21. Reworked. Submission #2 e-file rejected. Most recent assistance was case 483093789, transferred to CPA "Barney" by "Josh." Used "Glance" to go through offending portion of .tax file. Barney and TurboTax could find nothing wrong. At Barney's suggestion, will resubmit submission #2 tomorrow (10/20) by USPS, on paper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Have always been happy with TurboTax Have used TurboTax for more than a decade. I have a fairly complicated return and have never run into a situation where the software can't handle the tax situation that I require.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Turbotax is an excellent product. Great detailed instructions; intuitive; flow sequence is excellent; been using it for over 25 years. Have called for support only twice that I can remember.!! Excellent support. Last call was Venus in Atlanta about a week ago.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fell short at the end For the first time I submitted my State return using Turbo Tax (always did only Federal). Got a confirmation email saying they were sent and to look for an email to confirm acceptance. Never got anything; checked every day for a week including junk mail. Finally went in to Turbo Tax and saw State had been rejected because an NAICS code was all zeroes. Why wouldn't that show as an error and make me fix it before submitting? Seems like a simple coding fix.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Issues with e-file I have used Turbo Tax since 2014. I have a K-1 so I can't file until late Sept. In the pass, I would mail my returns by mail. In 2019 I tried to e-file. Turbo Tax did not notify me that there was a problem with my return. The returns were not sent out. Plus I had to pay for the e-file of the state forms. When I did not hear back on my taxes, I had to mail the return out.
