this version doesn't explain things . I muche prefer the desktop version that you did way with. after 31 years of using turbo tax desktop this was a horrible experiance. Not all information from last year was imported to this year
It was not clear what went where or why. My state tax due was higher than expected. I could not review the Indiana state forms to investigate, and I spent a great deal of time trying to validate the amount due using other sources. It also would have been helpful if TurboTax had explained how the tax on my SSA was determined as it related to my AGI. It also bugged me to hear that other people were getting their taxes done for free.
TurboTax gets even worse, more complicated, obtuse

TurboTax is terrible. Big cost increase, and now you can't even have a copy reside on your own computer. Too many questions fail to provide actionable guidance with the question, and also with the help box. Failed to find and insert values from previous years TurboTax return, Unable to conveniently look up 2025 Federal 1040 data to verify or insert into 2025 state tax returns. The entire user interface changes every year even when the tax code changes are insignificant. Last year it erroneously calculated tax due.
