Do you mean the estimator for your W-4?  Your W-4 is the document you give to your employer to tell them how much tax to withhold from your paychecks.       W-4 https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/w4/  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf  

I've been following this thread hoping to gain insight. I think it's ridiculous that the software is not fully updated yet. The section on retirement income (IRA's, Pensions, etc.) keeps saying it will be available soon. But they won't give a date or even an estimate. I am having trouble understanding how they can't get this section completed with the tax law changes passed months ago. I've been using TT for a long time now... it seems like every 3 years or so they have some major bug or like in this case... delay in availability. I keep telling myself to try someone else... but never do because I've used TT about as long as there has been a TT. Perhaps my loyalty is misplaced.

When you ask if the software is "ready"---be mindful that the software still needs a number of updates and not all forms and schedules are ready yet.   Many federal and state forms are not yet finalized.   So you can download the software and start entering some of your information, but e-filing too soon is a terrible idea.   The IRS will not begin to accept/reject 2025 e-files until January 26.    It is better to wait even longer and file later in February at the earliest.

Yes the 2025  Desktop program came out on Nov 4, 2025 and Online opened on Dec 2, 2025.  You can submit your efile to Turbo Tax starting Jan 6, 2025 if all your forms are ready.  Then the IRS won't start taking efiles until Jan 26, 2025.

@crazyforpizza  Might be ready the 15th....or the 22nd of January.   That's when regular updates will occur next.  They usually won't fix a bug of that type until one of their regularly-scheduled update days....usually overnight on Wed-Thursday, and occasionally Thurs-Fri

Also, DE isn't allowing any e-filing before 22 January.   Intuit App   DO NOT File before the end of January, thousands and thousands of filers regret early filing every year.   End of February is safer.

Thank you for your insights. I purchased H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2025 PC/Mac [Download] for $29.99 from Amazon.  Newegg had it for $24.99 later, wish I had waited.  Newegg also had box version for slightly more.  I have been using TurboTax for many years.  I have purchased it from Amazon, Costco, Newegg, etc.  I have never seen TurboTax for the price I paid for H&R Block. this year

Exactly where?   IF you itemized deductions in 2024, then it is possible that any state refund you might have received last year, would transfer to your 2025 tax file as potential taxable income for 2025.
