I to am so disappointed by TT dropping Its Deductible. This is not a SUNSET of a product, but just a drop. A sunset situation would have at least continued the product through 2025 tax season.
As to what to move on to, since HR Block and TaxAct don't have a similar feature like Its Deductible... that is not the point of moving on. We are paying a premium for TT BECAUSE of features like Its Deductible, but now, I will seriously consider paying that premium and move to a different product for taxes if there is no additional benefit.
I have used TurboTax since the 1980's and this isn't the first time that TT has made bonehead moves in their product offering and many here have already pointed to the attempt in 2022 to get rid of It's Deductible.
Further back in time, TT tried to remove the schedule C process from the TurboTax Deluxe product and force you to use a business version of the tool for nearly 2 times the cost, when my schedule C was only to report my earnings from a part time Music minister position. The next year they re-instated it back into deluxe... but it caused a huge issue for their customers.
This is all about squeezing a little more profit out at their customers expense. The team of developers to maintain Its Deductible or fold it into the main product can't be that much... and hey, it would have been easier if they just charged a small annual fee for a subscription for Its Deductible. I wouldn't have liked that, but at least I probably would not be looking for other Tax return software.
