Same clear interface as in the past; easy install on Win 10; can install from disc or download
By Comdet on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023
While I have a few complaints about taxes in general, I have no complaints with regard to this tax software. I've tried other options but Turbo Tax continues to be best for my needs, and has the clearest user interface. I use the Deluxe with State version and it has no problems with my investment accounts, Schedule C, or any other tax schedule. I like that when you buy the CD version you can either install it from the CD or do the install via a download from the Turbo Tax site. Thus, if the CD has been damaged, you're still able to do the install. In my case I installed it without issue from the CD on a Win 10 machine. Note that while the federal e-file is free (included in the software cost) you must pay for the state e-file. The included state is just for filling out the state return, not for the e-file. I just print the state return and mail it since I refuse to pay for the privilege of paying my taxes. Still hate tax time, but this makes it a bit more bearable. Five stars.

Buggy nightmare
By Harvey S. Picker on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023
Like many of the reviewers who have used Turbotax for many years, I have relied on this program for a long time. Nearly thirty years, in fact, beginning with a fairly early version running under MS-DOS. For the last 20 or so years, I've been using the Mac version, running under Monterey this year. Unlike many reviewers who gave it 4 or 5 stars because they found it to be the same reliable, easy-to-use program, i found it to have too many bugs. Minor ones, e.g. "This file could not be saved because you don't have permission" error messages that turned out to be doubly false: I do have permission, as "get info" in the Finder file menu repeatedly showed, and the file of my tax return was in fact saved, as a quick check under Finder showed each time. But there is a major bug which I have not yet gotten resolved. I cannot print my return Clicking on the "would you like to print and review your return" in Turbotax sends me to a web page filled mainly with help provided by users. It tells me to be sure I have Adobe Acrobat Reader, click on "save to pdf", and then print from the Acrobat print dialog. Clicking on "save to pdf" freezes Turbotax; I need to force quit the program. Clicking on "print" directly in the Turbotax drop-down file menu gives the same result. Talking to tech support has so far yielded the information that Turbotax supports only Safari or Chrome, not Firefox, which led me to download and use Chrome. Still no printing. I have e-filed my federal and state returns, but only after finally killing a zombie schedule K-1 thanks to a very helpful post from a knowledgeable user. Instead of the easy process of filling out and filing my returns that has been my customary experience with Turbotax, I endured a software nightmare. I will report back if I finally get a solution to my printing problem from tech support. (I was able to view my Federal return, including all worksheets, by using the Turbotax View drop-down menu. This I was able to print. But only once. Subsequent attempts failed because the View menu was grayed out. And I still haven't been able to view or print my state return.)
