Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I am adding a comment to emphasize the importance of this issue. I agree with all of the negative comments but hope the more comments the more attention I hope the issue will receive. I have been using Turbo Tax for over 25 years, and this is the only time I have been disappointed with the newest version. I'm not sure what the point of the additional graphic screen is but it certainly has not improved my user experience. I do returns for myself and family members. We have different use cases, including interest, dividends and investment activity. The new GUI has made every return more difficult and confusing.
I carry forward the previous year data into the current year then import a variety of w2, bank and brokerage data. In every case the imported data ignored the carry forward entry and created a new record. I then had to use the "new, improved GUI" to delete the duplicate 0 value entries.
Eventually, I seem to find myself at a familiar interface and can review and edit in a familiar way. I'm not sure how I get there and frequently find myself returned to the new GUI despite doing my best to avoid it.
Making it pretty or more like the online version does not make it more useful. Do yourself and your users a favor and remove the new GUI. It serves no purpose, adds no value and is only interfering with the products functionality.
