Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@Mad1166 I'm tagging you in this thread only because you referenced my response in this thread (dated June 6, 2019). I hope you all will keep in mind that my original response was to that original poster.
Those participating in this thread are bringing up a multitude of issues.
The IRS opened filing season for tax year 2019 less than a month ago. If you've ever used tax preparation software before, you're quite aware that there are ALWAYS kinks (BUGS) to be worked out. There are import issues (this year so far: W-2 for some, and some in this thread point out 1099-B), printing issues, filing issues, where do I find my prior-year AGI issues, on and on.
I, for one, know NOTHING about a state "kicker" as mentioned here for Oregon. But I will point this out to TurboTax Moderators for their investigation.
I will also point out your issue, @TaxPilot with the state of TX missing in the drop-down menu.
Additionally, @Mad1166, I've seen several reports from users about that credit report thing. Users don't want that and don't know how to proceed...many say they are "stuck". I'll mention that to TT Moderators, as well.
@doctorrisk, I'm sorry you experienced the difficulty with your import issues. It does take TT a while to investigate reported issues and publish information to assist users in a workaround. How I wish the software, upon release, was good to go with NO bugs. I've learned (that's part of my "seasoning"), that this is never the case. NEVER.
I certainly meant no offense/insult to any of you when posting my response. I sincerely apologize if my response sounded that way.
Here's the bottom line (in my opinion): Though tax prep software companies tout the ease of use of their products (yes, they ALL do), users should have at least SOME knowledge of tax preparation before attempting to self-prepare. Certainly, those of you who have more complicated returns (including investment income, etc.) should know to check the imported figures vs. the paper document. Heck, users should check ANY imported information against the paper document to verify accuracy.
Secondly, I would advise waiting until later in the filing season to file. TurboTax needs time to identify and fix any bugs. Waiting until later to file is prudent, if you can afford to wait.
Addressing how to report bugs: Please post in the Community and hopefully one of us who works in the Community will see and report your concerns. You do not have to upgrade to a more costly product just to report problems.
Your feedback is invaluable. Thank you for pointing out these issues so that TurboTax can look into them. Thank you for your patience, though I certainly understand that it's been tried beyond repair to many of you.
