Will this help? See my screenshot on this post. It works like a chat. You enter your search on the very bottom line and hit the send arrow on the right.

Are you on Windows or Mac? Try updating the program. Go up to Online - Check for Uodates. Close and open Turbo Tax . Reboot your computer.

What are you searching for? We can probably help.

I can’t even get to digital assistant! When click on search, I just get spinning circle saying connecting to digital assistant. Never connects. I’ve tried multiple times updating and shutting down but doesn’t help.

Internet connection is NOT the problem. Pressing F1 key on my Win10 laptop opens a "TurboTax Help" window which says "Connecting you to Digital Assistant..." with a rotating"-..." that just spins forever in the middle of that window.

I would like to amplify any comment that Turbotax becoming harder to use. I have been using it forever and the time is coming to find something else. My latest adventure was trying to get an extension printed out.

I gave up...did it manually. Program would never create the document.

The thing that is 100% a show stopper is having no even remotely usable place to get help. When something does not work the answer is not to send out a message to a forum and hope someone has an answer that works. Note: theyseldom if ever do.

Time to move on!!
