The Worst software

user17702310532 — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 18:53:08 GMT

Im sorry, I've been using Quicken and turbotax since the old PC DOS days in the late eighties. This years TT Deluxe is the WORST by far. Is this even a completed product?

Also, calling them is f'ng useless. This is a waste and I am not confident this is correct - what I'm doing

Has anyone else had difficulties downloading 1099's from American Express Bank? Vanguard?

Thank you

There are 1 or 2 other desktop apps out there for now. Can't say if they're any better than TurboTax. Also, you would be starting from scratch because not much info will transfer from TuboTaax to the other app.

there has been some issue with browser permissions preventing Vanguard from downloading and some message from Turbotax saying it completed but nothing happened, see

others have noted that Merrill Edge and Amex Bank are not in the import list but are in the import partner list I don't think there's been an explanation for that other than it's likely waiting on something from the partner bank. If you are waiting on a 1099-INT import tho frankly it's far quicker just to input it and move on.
