Confusing with entering data about crypto currency. Says I need to use premium plan and I would save $40 but at the end when you file your return you have to pay the full $129 dollars. Long story short, not impressed...
I love useing TurboTax. It gets easier each year. The first time I used it I struggled because it was my first time doing my own taxes but now it's a breeze with the help of the TurboTax team. I've been useing TurboTax for a few years now. Thank you TurboTax
For years, I used a download of Turbotax to my desktop or laptop to complete my tax returns and transmit them via Turbotax/Intuit. This year, I was no given that option. That is problem number 1. I would rather not give Intuit access to my tax return data, other tan the file necessary to submit the returns.
Problem Number 2 was that because I had not filed with Turbotax before, my capital loss carry-forward was not included on my return. The system did not automatically ask me whether I had a loss carry-forward. It took 45 minutes and a call to the help desk to finally locate the instructions to actually enter the loss carryforward. This is a major regression in the software. The software used to always ask if I had a carry-forward. It makes me wonder what other questions the system should have asked me but didn't. This software used to be incredibly user-friendly. It isn't any more.
The software also does not automatically give the option to print the returns and all the schedules. I was able to print the returns, but not the supporting schedules. I should not have to hunt for that function. It should appear AUTOMATICALLY.
I will likely not use Turbotax for my taxes in the future.
Pros: My employment status changed this year, I bought or sold investments
I found this version of Turbo Tax particular un user friendly. There were parts that did not function well. I was told that a state did not require me to submit a tax form then the software kept prompting me to the pages for working on it. I was just going in a loop. This is the worst version of this software that I've worked with in years.
very easy step by step. But honestly wont use anymore due to the fees and the amount charged to file taxes. over $200 to file taxes is a little excessive. Have used for 10 years but this will be my last year unless the fees go down
