Turbotax 2018 Deluxe crashes constantly

Hit the save button, hit transmit. Worst release. I left a review but I doubt their PR department will ever publish my review.

Turbotax 2018 Deluxe crashes constantly

Able to save and transmit my 2018 fed and state e-file today. TB software constantly crashes on my 3 PC laptops so I installed TB on my MAC and was able to complete my 2018 return. Good bye Turbo Tax, next year will look somewhere else.

Let's hope they fix it. I still need to file in October entering data is stressful never know when it might crash, when it does it just "disappears" need to save often.

Home and Business is having the same instability.  This is unbelievable that they have not fixed it yet.

After continuous crashes, saving my files constantly, and then reading through this thread, I tried minimizing TurboTax . Not running it in full screen is working beautifully. Thank you to whoever suggested that remedy.

The latest update fixes the crash I was seeing previously when saving to PDF 🙂

 

Thank you Intuit, and I very much appreciate that you notified me of the fix (since I'd registered for updates)!

I have just installed my TT 2018 Home and Business from CD bought at BJ’s and did suggested updates immediately. Got ready to begin taxes and Crashing randomly. Mac IOS Mojave 

 

i too too have been long time continual user of TT. I almost think like 1991 many even earlier. NEVER have had ANY issues. This better be solved quickly (will not use anything ,on-line, as I have several DBA,s and LLC,s) 

 

absolutely unacceptable. 

 

Have sent all all crash reports to IntuIT

Comments re: virus and malware well taken; however, I will not disable. 

 

This is is the year I am going to look elsewhere for tax software if not fixed ASAP

TT used to crashes constantly on my PC so I installed on a MAC and it was working fine. I have a large file after my tax was done. TT fixed the crashes problem on PC  last week and I was trying to save a PDF of my 2018 tax file and it saved without crashes, may be you can try install/file your 2018  on a PC .

Thanks for reply,

 

unfortunately I do not have a Windows platform. 

 

Glad and you were able to find a workaround. 

 

Frustrating that TT launched code that is broken

 

will wait until Monday to see if any solution posted by TT tech support. 

 

If not, will go look into other tax software.

Turbotax 2018 Deluxe crashes constantly

I just installed TurboTax on my Windows 10 laptop, and it keeps crashing. I can't even get past the first screen entering name, email etc. Even when I try to drag the window around, it'd crash immediately. 

 

I have more than 10 large third-party apps running fine on this laptop. TurboTax is the only one that keeps crashing.

 

I've tried bunch of things multiple times (uninstalling/installing the program, rebooting the machine, manually installing the latest update, installing onto HDD instead of SSD etc.), to no avail.

 

Then miraculously I found the program seems to run fine under Windows 8 Settings. (Right-click the TurboTax icon on the desktop, select the "Troubleshoot compatibility" option, then select "Try compatibility settings for the program", then "Test the program" under Windows 8 settings). At least now I can get past the first screen. Dragging the window around / maximizing the window won't crash it any more.  Of course, then you'll need to save this setting so next time the system knows the program should run under Windows 8 settings.

 

I will see if more problems would come up under Windows 8 settings.
