Turbo Tax 2025 is frustrating!

I have used Turbo Tax since 2015 and found this year to be the most frustrating! Not sure what you did to your program but I constantly had to reduce the size of the page to find the continue prompt. Never had the problem in the past and I am using the same laptop with the same Windows program.
Easy online with good onscreen explanations for techie/tax definitions
Pros: I bought or sold investments

We love hearing that the process felt effortless for you. Taxes are complicated enough, so we’ve designed our interface to take the guesswork out of every step.
I found Turbotax to be smooth and easy and the Ai was very helpful.

Our goal is to make filing as smooth as possible, and we’re glad the software helped you breeze through. Thank you for letting us handle the heavy lifting this year!
Didn't like that it defaults to use expert assist premium (extra cost) when filing. I had to do research why the cost to file was higher than normal. Not happy with being forced to manually downgrade to remove the feature I didn't even sign up for. The worst part is that my daughter has already filed her return and paid extra. She didn't even know and use the assistance. Sneaky update to the software.
It is so annoying to enter data manually, there are no CSV or TXF import functionality. AI integration is very underwhelming. They use dark patterns to try and get your data.
Pros: My employment status changed this year, I bought or sold investments
Loved the new, upgraded software. Loved being able to upload pictures of documents to file them.

The on-line version is not nearly as good and easy as the desk top version was. there are a few serious glitches that cost a lot of extra time and frustration in getting through the filing process. My confidence in accuracy is deeply shaken. I don't agree with your standard deduction versus itemized evaluation and result. This was overall a negative experience over the desk top version and certainly NOT worth the cost increase!!
I would have rated this higher but it was rather painful entering the activity from my trading bot. There was a lot of transactions and the document upload/translation did not go smoothly. While it did upload every transaction I had to manually go in and enter information that was already present on the form for hundreds of transactions. I would ask that for next year try to smooth that experience out.
