TurboTax ONLINE sucks.... because you can't see your FORMS until you print / save the completed return. NO WAY to edit in FORMS as I could with Desktop. I found NO advantage to using the ONLINE, and annoyed by having to log back in between my "breaks" between answering too many QUESTIONS. And it did not ask me about my pre-paid Estimated Tax payments. I had to FIND where to enter the $ 100,000 I already had paid in. ...In TurboTax Online, you cannot enter or edit your tax return directly in Form view. The program guides you through a question-based interview to ensure accurate data entry.
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can switch to Form view by clicking the Forms mode button, usually found at the top or side. This lets you view and edit tax forms directly.
For TurboTax Online, you'll need to enter information through the provided questions and sections, as direct form editing is not supported.
this was so stressful and took way longer than necessary. I don't know which premium it had me pay for but i did not feel supported by it and it was a waste of my money. also stop using ai
Turbo tax was clear and provides excellent features to understand information needed. However, the one category that lacked supporting information/faq answers was 1099-Q reporting. There should be an i link providing more information.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Normally I love Turbo Tax for filing my taxes, but I had a name change and it did not process the forms well with my new name. It did not ask about any name changes, so I had to be conscious of the name fields when checking everything. I am not even sure if it signed my name correctly as the signature line is blank when I reviewed the return before I filed. Fingers crossed it doesn't get rejected. Also, it put my middle initial in the incorrect box on the state form. Everything was filled out correctly in my info and I followed the steps in the help section, still did not carryover the information correctly.
TurboTax works, but the pricing model punishes anyone with slightly more complex taxes. Just because I have a 1099-DA, I pay double? why? A flat rate would be fairer for everyone.
