Why is it so hard to find the "Ask a question" button???????

[lilly54]

Home and  Business is one of the two versions of TT that support businesses. You had a business which provided you with income as a tax worker from the IRS' perspective.

In Home and Business, go into the Business section->Business Income->Other Income and add your income.

I don't have that version because I don't have a business. Working at the polls isn't having a business.

Next time I'm going to tell them to keep their money. This isn't worth it!

[lilly54]

According the the IRS, you have a very limited business. I suspect the Personal version doesn't support that but someone from Intuit needs to respond to that.

[dlivesay]

That does it. Next year I'm going to have someone prepare my taxes. TurboTax can't save me any money. Every time I run into something I have to pay for another upgrade. This is ridiculous. I'm not a millionaire and I don't own a company. My taxes aren't that complicated, but clearly too difficult for TurboTax to handle. TurboTax is very expensive and full of bugs, and getting support is a nightmare. Enough!

Thanks, you speak for me too.

Ah, now I see the button.  It's got a blue background on a blue background, so the text is mostly hidden.

I taught a Human Factors course over 3 decades ago and I would have flunked a student who made this error 🙂

There's a new problem I see with "Community-> Discussions -> Taxes pages.

The menu up top shows the mentions and message counts for half a second

then goes to "Open TurboTax"  "Sign in".

But I'm still signed in.

This started a couple of weeks ago.

Moderator please check it out. Thanks.

There was a change to the forum software and this is the result; there is nothing to check. You simply are "partially logged out" after a certain period of inactivity and need to sign in again.

I've never heard of being "partially logged out".

Hey I figured out that if you hit browser refresh and move quickly you can beat the change of menu.  (Chrome)

Yes, I should have mentioned that, but it certainly is tricky. Also, you can do that with most browsers (I've tried Edge, Chrome, and Firefox).

Hi @fanfare, there was an update to the community that allows users to be able to navigate between their different Intuit products with a single sign-in. So you can be signed into the community without being fully signed in to your Intuit account. We are working on creating a more user-friendly experience and that may include updates to the feature in the future.

Yes it's very annoying.  I have to keep logging in fully to see my messages, notifications and profile.  I used to stay logged in.  Now it's like every time I open my iPad.  What's the time limit on it?

[tbduvall]

No actually . . . they don't.  I had this problem yesterday.  Nothing I read anywhere helped.  It took me half an hour to find a way to ask a question.

[tbduvall]

but there should be one on the main page

[tbduvall]

I used to be a programmer and my husband was a web developer . . . they can do better.

This does do a good job of keeping the number of open conversations to a minimum :(

@tbduvall Yeah----not sure what designer  came up with the idea to put the BLUE "Ask a Question" button on a graphic with a BLUE background.....but it is there on every "category" of tax issues if you look closely.
