Worked well
on March 31, 2026

Generally I liked using the online Premium version. My only complaint is that I could never find a way to switch to the actual tax forms (or even see the actual tax forms) while I was working through the TurboTax questions. That is something I could do with the desktop versions I have used in the past.

Better than I had feared
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: Selfprepped
from NY
I had been dreading it -- I'm NOT averse to tax paperwork, actually I had self-prepared for 10+ years using a free gov't program called FreeFileFillableForms that's basically online e-file versions of all the actual IRS forms (ZERO fee, but zero help -- I didn't want or need help, which most people probably do). But that program could not accommodate one form I had to add this year (federal Form 7206) that I never needed in the past. So I was thrown into a new situation: either get a new provider to e-file with, or submit all paper returns by snailmail.
I feared TurboTax would force me through many extraneous steps to enter a ton of stuff the IRS does not require. Those fears proved overblown. The details their system asked for came pretty close to what I had on my spreadsheets and had been entering with my previous e-filing service. There was some added data entry, but not too bad. And their system was less transparent than I'd like, which caused a hiccup at one point (after I wrongly entered a number in one of their screens the only way to edit or fix that was to delete that whole 1099-B and then re-enter its data). But I understand TurboTax or any commercial service cannot display any completed forms until a user pays and is set to file -- if they did, they'd be giving away their secret sauce.
Also I feared their fee promotion would be deceptive (after a bad experience 10 years ago) and I'd end up ripped off with junk fees loaded on. But their fees for the do-it-yourself product came in as advertised: $129 federal plus $59 for state. (Of course, I'd have preferred to submit through my old provider for ZERO fees. But to do so this year I would have had to print and snailmail paper returns. I've long done that with NY State... but I felt it would be too risky to file federal returns on paper, in this day and age. So I went with TurboTax and paid the fees. All their final numbers came in pretty much as on the actual IRS and state form spreadsheets I had made, with only tiny differences due to rounding.)
