When did TurboTax become the worst tax filing software?

Thank you for your feedback & for choosing TurboTax

I could not agree more.

12 year run came to a screeching halt. I filed with another software with no problems WHATSOEVER.

Turbotax sucks.

Did the competitor's software package allow you to manually introduce your 2023 historic data as found in your TurboTax form called CARRY FWD?

Found this after a quick search. I have not verified it works and it is referencing a prior year however.

In order to carry forward last year's TurboTax® file from the previous tax year, first ensure your current copy of UFile is up-to-date.

To update your version of UFile for Windows, make sure first that you are connected to the Internet, then open UFile, click on the "Settings" menu, and select "Program updates". In the "Program updates" window, click "Check for updates".

Once you have the latest version of UFile for Windows please follow these steps:

1. Run UFile and click on "Carry forward a 2018 tax file".
2. Under "Select the type of file to import", select "2018 TurboTax® or ImpôtRapide® file (.TT17)" as the file type.
3. Click the yellow folder and browse to your *.tt17 file.
4. Click "Open" after you locate the file.
5. Click "Continue".
6. Click "Continue" again.
7. Click "OK".

NOTE: It is very important that you browse to find your file. This will ensure that both the name and location of the file are correct. You cannot just enter the name of the file. UFile also needs to know where on your computer the file is located. By browsing, you will ensure that this information is correct.

Your 2018 tax information will be carried forward to your UFile for Windows 2019 tax file."

So Ufile understands (at least in 2019) the format of a .tt file and lets you import selected forms into it.

The Ufile forum reported locked capital gains forms this last month, so importing CNIL data from TurboTax may end up preventing Ufile from Netfiling. 

Perhaps better to import the TurboTax 2023 data after successfully Netfiling with Ufile.

I filed my returns in the second week of march with another program, no problem.

TurboTax to date is still uncapable to allow me to file a return.

This is pathetic.
