When did TurboTax become the worst tax filing software?
2024 Desktop version
Between the capital gains nonsense preventing people from filing EVEN IF they have no gains to report and the inability to refile (last estimate March17 but who knows) if you notice a mistake after filing, this year's offering from Intuit will go down as the poorest release in their history.
I understand that the capital gains issue is somehow intertwined with the government incompetence issue for people reporting gains, but if you aren't reporting any gains, the program should auto by-pass the requirement for the form. Simple programming fix but ignored.
My advice is before filing online to go to Edit>Forms>T567>Clear Current Form and then Close Unused Forms....and then do the same for Schedule 3.....Then file.
I have used TurboTax since its inception and I have never seen a poorer year for clean programming and update corrective services than 2024. One has to worry about mistakes in the background that aren't noticeable until the government comes knocking later.
Pretty sure its run, for me at least, has come to an end.
I will source a new software starting next year.
