What is TurboTax 2021 Running Slow on PC?

[SteamTrain]

@wkeeneykennicutt 

A couple other areas have also been redone this year...and appear to be painfully slow-to-locked-up for some users... (Botched or unintended consequences with the software rewrites? )

SSA-1099 entries

W-2G entries

Maybe a couple others, but I don't normally access everything.

My personal tax return has many W2G' s requiring each to be included when filing. The program froze up during the process. 

My Corporate Tax worked great, so it's not the computer.

Please advise.

Again you can add up all the W-2G forms and make ONE entry in the program because the IRS does not get that info from your return they also get copies of those forms and all they do is compare your total with the total they have computed.  Entering in all those forms is a waste of time and effort so please skip it.   30 years in the business and I always simply enter the total as gambling winnings  unless there was some fed/state withholding and then I add them all up and make one W-2g entry ... I have had no issues in 30 years doing it this way since this mimics how we used to do it on paper... only the totals were sent to the IRS on the 1040  form.

You can also switch to forms to enter w2gs then switch back to step-by-step.  That is what I did for my hubby's 106 w2g's I entered.

OMG ... how much of your life did you give up to enter 106 separate forms when  it is not needed ???

Please ... everyone reading this thread in the future ... just use the one entry option and save yourself the aggravation. 

[SteamTrain]

Still...if combining, I'd only combine the ones from the same casino.

Experienced same issue - very slow - esp. during W-2 portion. Updated turbox tax, cleaned up desktop (Norton/Dell tools) and still slow.

@RFULTON This is a continuing problem that TurboTax is not acknowledging. In the mean time use the forms view to enter your w2s , works fine.

Entering W-2G is an extremely tedious task this year!!!

Fill in a block then wait up to 20 seconds.  This is 5+ minutes for what should be a 30 second task.

Do we expect to receive a fix for the program issue??

VERY FRUSTRATED

[wkeeneykennicutt]

There is a glitch this year. Switch to forms to enter your w2s and w2gs then switch beck to step by step.

Will be my last time using TurboTax

THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM...............I'm entering W-G's and it is lagging at least 1 minute between tabs.  There must be a SOLUTION SOON PLEASE

Absolutely having the same problem. Customer support denied the issue 100% and blamed the hardware, which is outrageous. It is definitely not the hardware.

I totally agree, I've been using TurboTax since I can remember and this year there's something wrong with the program. My computer is very capable and runs everything else just fine. Something is clearly wrong with TurboTax 2021
