Turbo Tax Premier, MACBOOK Pro, Big Sur. I am in the income statement section, third section. When I ask for the next section, I get TurboTax not responding message. I tried on a MacBook Air running prior OS X, same results. There are several such complaints on this forum, but all seem to be on Windows. I did the latest program update just prior to continuing then ran into the issue. Tried quitting Turbo Tax, saving, two different computers, shut down , reboot, same results. there appears to be a software issue with Turbo Tax. Need help.

Wages and income. I do the next income section button at the bottom right of the screen and get the spinning wheel. I found a workaround by just going to the select what you want to de rather than walk me thru everything, but there is an apparent bug .

I have updated, Uninstaller, cleared cache, updated computer software and nothing works. I am not able to go past section 4 of income without it saying it is not responding. I spent an entire day updating everything with no resolve. HELP

I did not have the problem with 2020, I"m having a problem with 2021 turbo tax premier. I'm using the same laptop as last year, I meet the system requirements. It is taking me 20-25 minutes per W2-G form with only entering the bare amount needed. When ever I tab or click to a new field I get the non-responding message. This is flat out ridiclous.

I am also inputing W2Gs of which I have 32 and each one is taking about 5 minutes. Each block takes 15-20 seconds to load and then the program will freeze with (not responding) and will have to wait until it starts again. I have used TTax for 30 years and this is the first time this has happened. Company should fix and replace for no cost!!!!

I have over 100 W2G’s to load into TT. Each one of them are taking almost 20 minutes to load. Same laptop that I used last year and meets all requirements. I’m screaming!

Having the exact same issue as others with the W-2G section of TurboTax Premiere. Running it on a mac with the required OS and much more than the recommended amount of RAM. When moving from one field to the other in East Step the program freezes for a period. When I have the Activity Monitor open when the program freezes the Activity Monitor says TurboTax not responding. If I switch the "Forms" I can enter the data quickly and easily, but, you have to go back to East Step to "confirm" your address or the entry is flagged as "needs review." Never had this problem any other year with TurboTax. Like others on here, I have a large number of W-2Gs to enter and the delay caused by the program is making data entry much hard that ever before. That this has been going on for months without resolution by Intuit is vexing.

Their response to me was to delete all the forms, close the program, reopen Turbo Tax and reenter the information. I started entering in November, for people who started later and are having a problem is telling me their "fix" doesn't work because people will have had the updates installed.

Makes me want to start looking around for another program to use next year. And this is using turbo tax at least 25 years. First year with this issue.
