5.0 out of 5 stars I use it every year

My taxes are easy so this is the one I use every year. I like that there are options to skip certain steps and the e-file feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way too much BS to install
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024
I have been using TurboTax since the first version as I have also use Quicken and Quickbooks. The system is gotten increasingly more difficult to install over the years. I do not like the whole Intuit set up anymore. The product itself is very good, but all the trouble to get it and install it is very difficult. I should have just bought it at the store. I prefer, the days when you could walk in the store and get a DVD and take it to your computer and install it. Now you have to order it if you want DVD otherwise you’re stuck with the download.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now requires an account with Turbotax!
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024
I've used Turbo Tax before and it has always worked fine. Now this year it wanted me to create an account before allowing me to install it. That process didn't work well. I spent over an hour on the phone with customer service (my second call - the first left me on hold and I hung up after 30 minutes) just to get the account SNAFU corrected on their end. The software works fine once you are permitted to install it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can't get logged in - Intuit's Website no help no phone support.
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
Just spent two hours on this waste of time. Long time user, but this year can't get logged in. No email codes come through (yes check junk, long time user, duh) and the web pages keep cycling me back through to the same stupid login tips, none of which work. Tried to reset password, page throws errors. Try to recover account, web page throws error. Tried to call, stupid phone tree won't let me speak to a person and can't spell my name right even after ten tries. Horrifically bad experience. Never using Turbo Tax again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Software
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024
TurboTax works great for me. It helps me cover all the bases and takes care of the calculations. I remember when I used to take many hours reading the rules, calculating, and recalculating. Now I can do my takes in a couple of hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easygoing…
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024
Purchased this tax software as a download. I have been using this product for over twenty years. I have never had any issues with this product. Anyone can use this following the instructions as they pop up. I recommend this product to anyone who’s afraid of doing their own taxes. It just makes completing your taxes too easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handles complicated IRS forms easily
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024
I have used this product for years and it gets the job done. Unless you are a tax accountant or lawyer, the complications of the IRS laws and regulations are overwhelming. Turbotax will either walk you through the process with interview questions or let you fill in the forms directly. It knows when another form is required and creates it for you. Good summaries of previous years, and form checking for errors. It will direct you through filing online or tell you if you must file a written return (usually because schedules need to be attached such as all individual stock sales).

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing's perfect
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024
I was walked thru a basic 1040 filing very clearly by Turbo Tax basic, and seemed to be asking all the correct questions, and as I logged in and out, the file was correctly saved and reloaded. but iInitially, when I wanted to print out an extension form, only the instruction section of the 4868 form would print, chopping off the data section at the bottom. Next surprise: when later done with the completed 1040 file, I see a message advising that E-Filing from Florida was no longer available, so a hardcopy had to be printed and mailed to the IRS. Luckily a few days were left before the mailing deadline, so I had to buy a large mailing envelope nearby ( luckily I have a printer to have the file to mail) , then I have to wait in line at the Post Office and pay the shipping. Not nice, Turbo Tax.
