Can TurboTax staff fix the Donations Optimizer?

Yes. I have used and appreciated TurboTax, in its various forms, for decades. . However, for years I have warned them that their “Optimizer” was giving faulty advice.  In spite of their promises to send the failure to their developers, it was never fixed. They are making the same promise this year. I finally tried [different software]. It doesn’t seem to have the thorough interview style that TurboTax has. What it did do, though, was immediately give me the maximum return that TurboTax failed to calculate year after year. Had I trusted TurboTax, I would have lost thousands of dollars over the years. [different software] was fast and accurate.
