I've always used turbo tax and I like it but it needs some improvement in the area of dependents and how to remove one. I had to use assistance. Also it's tricky at the end when you have your order price, I needed assistance on how to downgrade, why does it suggest the most expensive when you are ready to pay? The chat assistance is great though!
We preferred the previous version. They were more intuitive. We entered a dividend 1099DIV info this year and when it didn't appear on our review it was difficult to get back to find it entered but apparently not confirmed.
We contributed money to our IRA in 2025 but turbo tax didn't ask about that. Lots of questions about HSA but none about IRA. I had to search for where to put that information in. It made a significant difference in the tax due and I'm glad I knew to look for it. I also rolled over some IRA money and that wasn't explained very well, since it was a rollover and not actually withdrawing money. The whole process took me at least 3x longer than estimated to file, probably because it's my first time filing in a long time. But the end result was good and I'm sure I'll use turbo tax again.
I am a military member who wanted to file my taxes for free as advertised but I was charged $140 dollars despite me purposefully selecting the cheapest and non-expert including options.
very easy to use and file. walked me through the process step by step.
