Is there any way to use the old interface for TurboTax? This new GUI is horrible and I can't add forms directly or find what I'm searching for. I don't need hand-holding.

I cannot search for certain forms. They seem to be missing entirely unless you go through the different pathways of the handheld return system. I cannot find forms for FHSAs or deductions which were in previous years much simpler and were direct matches to their CRA counterparts. I used to be able to search for forms directly or switch around my different T-Slips on the leftmost side of the screen, where everything was in a large contained list, this made browsing easier for me to manage, and filling my return in piecemeal was a piece of cake. Ironically now this software is making it harder than last year to file my taxes, which is supposed to be what this website is designed to avoid. Not everyone filing their taxes online is a complete moron who needs to be walked through the entire process. Most of us are competent enough to do it, we just want to do it online for convenience.

It's still very early in the season. Please watch for updates.

I agree this new search system sucks.  I want an easy form search

@mike666444 Hope you figured it out by now.    Are you in Canada? This is the USA forum. Here is the Canada forum

I agree that the new GUI is terrible!!!  I have used TurboTax for almost 30 years and this change is PAINFUL.  Just doing income section for example, where I have a bunch of investment items from last year and it is ridiculously complex to update the numbers for 2024. Just let me do my freaking work like last year!  I don't need pretty big bubbles for each investment income.  Plus I can't just work on all my 1099-INT, then 1099-DIV, etc.  They are all jumbled together.  Stop trying to dumb down the interface!!  Pisses me off.

I agree.  This new interface blows big chunks!   I've been using TT since early 1990's.  The new interface for 1099-div and 1099-int etc is horrible.  Big huge bubbles in a long page list that asks me to import every single time.  Super inefficient to read.  Super inefficient to keep track at a glance (table format better).  Super inefficient to step through import yes/no and add investment every time.  Please revert back to the previous.  Much more efficient to see the older table format at a glance.  Now I need to go make a seperate spreadsheet to keep track of this especially for form 1099-consolidated input.  I do not want to be forced to import if I do not want to especially with situation for multiple financial institutions with multiple types of accounts (checking, saving, brokerage, IRA, 401k, 529, kids accounts, etc...).  Very, very, very frustrating and inefficient!
