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've used TurboTax Desktop for years. I use TurboTax Premier for my taxes. My first choice is the desktop version of TurboTax. I had to use the online version this year because the downloadable version I purchased would not activate. I was surprised by how much more expensive it was for the online TurboTax Premier version from the desktop version, but I needed to get the taxes done and kept on trucking.
The online version didn't seem to be as intuitive as the desktop version. That could be my many years of desktop familiarity versus the first-time experience with the online version. It also confused me several times by taking me back to a section I thought was already completed. It may have been my unfamiliarity with the online version (highly likely) that caused my confusion navigating it.
It missed a few of my typos/mistakes and didn't report one of them (no state wages entered) until just before moving forward to file the taxes. The returns had been reviewed by TurboTax several times, but that one didn't trigger until just before filing.
I appreciated all the additional services you could purchase before starting, while completing the input, and other times throughout the experience. It became a little annoying, but there are probably many who appreciated the reminders.
I tried taking pictures of my various documents (W2, 1099-DIV, etc.) and uploading them into TurboTax. The instructions were not as clear as I needed. However, through the interface, I took 10 pictures. When I tried to upload/apply or whatever the next step was to get them into TurboTax, it said it failed, with no feedback--did I do something wrong, were the images unreadable, or what? It offered to let me try again, but not knowing what happened, I would have just done the same thing again and have another failure.
Other than first time online user's confusion, the experience was similar to the desktop version. I will probably go back to the desktop version and fix the activation problem.

Thank you for sharing your filing experience with us. We’re grateful for the support, and we’ve noted your feedback on where things fell short. We’re committed to refining the tax filing experience for your next year's return process .
All good except the fact that I now have to pay $35 to get it directly deposited to my bank acct as I have done for years. The choice to save to a credit Karma account for free an charge a person's personal acct seems to be trying to expand credit Karma's business and penalizing someone who has been a customer of turbotax for years.

Thank you for trusting TurboTax with your taxes again. We hear your concerns regarding our fees and appreciate the honest input. Thanks for your continued support with TurboTax for online filing.
I preferred earlier versions where I can see the forms being used listed in the GUI display.
Pros: My employment status changed this year, I bought or sold investments

It was not as easy as last year... I had hoped more would be downloadable and less entry
