TurboTax Washington state not on dropdown list to choose from among the United States

The Turbotax error was present on the page at about 4 p.m. Pacicfic on Sat 3/4/2022.

I was redirected by the software to fix an omission on the Turbotax page for the 1099-INT form. The page said I needed to choose the state that appears on my 1099-INT in Box 15 from a dropdown that the page provides.

But Washington state is missing from the list of states, and picking from the list is the only way the page provides to input the information.

This egregiously careless error makes it impossible for people who bank in Washington state to use Turbotax successfully.

Desired outcome: Fix this, explain how this could happen, apologize, and let me know when the problem has been fixed.

TurboTax Tax filing

I am qualified for free file and for the past 3 yrs I have filed through Turbo Tax with no issues. Because they had done so well, I paid for the upgrade this year, which was asked early in the filing.

They forgot to ask about the 1095 form, which resulted in my Federal and State taxes being rejected. They informed me quickly they were rejected and offered to amend it. I clicked on fix my return, but it would only go a few steps and then go back to fix my return. I had to call them and they walked me through it, but the corrected form had me owing 840 to the IRS because of the health care act. Which was another mistake, and in order for them to refile they wanted 59 dollars more even though I was qualified for free tax file.

I took my taxes elsewhere, and asked for a refund of my 29 which they have refused to give. I turned them into my credit card company. Yes I got bit once, their fault, but if I get bit again, it will be my fault! Bye Bye Turbo Tax.

Desired outcome: Warn others in advance

TurboTax TurboTax2022 DeLuxe

Accessed the TurboTax website which had an offer for the TurboTax DeLuxe 2022 for $49. After I finished the Federal Tax and was forced to delete the State form due to an additional charge of $59. I proceeded on to pay to file the Federal form and was presented with a $75 switch charge. In essence the fraud entice you to go throughout the hour long process to enter your financial info and then holds you for ransom. It is incredible these criminal can continue to scam people without shame and the complicit government and Congress gets to stand by them.

Desired outcome: time to stop the fraudsters.

TurboTax routing number change

I have completed my 2022 tax return via turbo tax but did not realize that when my bank changed names that the routing number that defaulted from my last few years from direct deposits had changed. The account number is correct though. When i track my return it states that it was deposited on Feb. 21. Well I cant seem to get any help as to how I can get this in my account! This will affect my state return in the next month so i'm trying to correct it before this mess happens again. Please help me locate my federal check and avoid this happening for my state return while we still have time.

sbtpg gave me trace#[protected]

it was deposited into Civista bank account# [protected]

TurboTax Maryland State TT Software

This program is plain wrong. It asks for my county, which I entered. Then for my tax area within the county. I live in an unincorporated area, not a listed town or city. It insists that it needs a city or town. I find the name of my county in the list and enter it. Doesn't like it. Says it can't be the county in the county has to be a town or city. I leave it anyway. It tells me that there's an error that will prevent me from efiling that return. The error is that I've said that I and my spouse live in different jurisdictions! Huh? NO WAY! Who do they have writing these programs? Doesn't seem that they know what they're doing!

Desired outcome: FIX the program. It's not rocket science!!

TurboTax Hire people that know what they're doing.

Their software got it variables crossed between the federal and state taxes for Oklahoma.

When I called tech support it took me about an hour to convince your rep that 150 shares of Microsoft is NOT a physical address within the Starte of Oklahoma. I even took her to my federal taxes and showed her I copied my 1099-B per box label, to the letter but when it put that information into the state form, it put it in the wrong place obviously. After about an hour she said OK she'll put a ticket in but if they say it's ok, you'll have to upgrade to talk to a tax expert, saying it was my fault again. I did receive a response from whoever she turned it into, and they said they didn't have enough information. Dear Lord in what world is 150 shares of Microsoft a physical address in Oklahoma. I have a 10-year-old granddaughter that would know better, how much more information could you possibly need. I went to H&R Block and had no problem, and they were cheaper.

You're not losing a long-time customer because you made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes, it's how you handle the mistake that matters, and you FAILED hands down.

TurboTax Turbo tax free filing service

I filed my taxes using Turbo tax and opted to file for free. By the time I finished filing they put me into a screen prompting me to upgrade to their Premium because of the "extra form" I needed. I wanted to back out of that, but unlike all the other stages and pages, this one did not have a BACK button. In short I had to go through with the filing which charged me for State and Federal filing. At the end as I was ready to finish and send it out I was charged an Additional fee for processing my refund. In short, Half of my refund was taken out for "fees" that I never wanted to pay in the first place. I was charged $117 for services I was forced to accept. I will not be using Turbo Tax ever again.

Desired outcome: I want my money returned to me and I want Turbo Tax held accountable for it's unethical practices of coercing people to pay fees they advertised as Free.

TurboTax Federal return software on my MAC

When attempting to load your 2022 Turbotax software on my computer (MAC), Turbotax comes back with a prompt that says; "Oops, Turbotax can't Start yet. It looks like you need a later version of the MAC operating system to use Turbotax.

What you have: MACOS 10.15.7 Catalina
What you need: MacOS 10.16. Big Sur
If it turns out you can't upgrade, we recommend using Turbotax Online."
1st - I do not wish to use Turbotax online.
2nd - My MAC tells me I am fully upgraded at my current level and that 10.16 big sur will not be available until late this year.
After being with Turbotax for the past twenty or thirty years, is my best option to return your software and go with another vendor?

Desired outcome: Your promoted and sold software is available on the latest MAC OS version available.

TurboTax Turbotax online

I filed with Turbo tax ad I have sine my husband died but in 2021 I got seriously screwed. Ended up costing me 144 dollars because I would only get so far and would not allow me to continue if I up graded. I am still waiting for my return but IRS wanted copy of 1095-A and form 8692. I could not find a way to resolve it si Turbo tax told me to send it in by mail. I did and it's been downhill every since. I immediately filed a grievance and never received a response as did a lot of people and I said I would never use your product again if I was just going to get screwed. Your company was more about keeping the money then saving a customer!

Desired outcome: Response !!!!!!

TurboTax Turbotax PA State Return

There is a serious glitch in Turbotax for PA state filings. It involves retirement income reported on 1099-R forms. Most retirement income in PA is not taxable, but some retirement income is. Turbotax does not calculate the taxable income properly. This issue occurred in my 2021 filing, which resulted in an additional tax payment plus interest and penalty for me. This problem still exists in the 2022 version of Turbotax. I spoke to a support agent today and there is nothing in their system indicating a problem and there is no way to fix it in the current version. I asked for this issue to be escalated since I don't want to run into the same issue again in 2022.

Desired outcome: I want Turbo to fix the glitch so I can file my 2022 taxes.

TurboTax Filing

I cannot get back in to the turbo tax account. It says password is wrong. They took out the money out of my account already but I called Turbo tax and the guy said I did not file my federal taxes. Well if I cannot get back in what do I do. I get nothing back and owe nothing. They said online it was all done so I thought I was ok and it was filed. I'm very confused nothing works to get back in. Hw can they take out money if it was not filed?

TurboTax Turbotax premier

Per Georgia law, beginning January 1, 2022, military retirement income of up to $35,000 is excluded from Georgia state income taxation. Apparently, the accountants at Turbo Tax are not aware of this new Georgia law because the Turbo Tax Premier software I used did not exclude any of my military retirement income for Georgia state income tax calculations.

In fact, the Turbo Tax website states (incorrectly):

"The following states tax military retirement pay fully and offer little to no tax benefits for retirement income:

*California

*Georgia

*Montana

*Rhode Island

*Utah

*Vermont

*Virgina"

I tried to call Turbo tax customer service, but was informed by their automated call system that I would have to pay an additional fee (upgrade) to speak to an actual human being.

I emailed their customer service department to explain the defect in their product, and was answered with a canned response that did not address the problem.

They also denied my request for a refund, despite their defective product.

Desired outcome: Turbo Tax should fix their tax software to comply with Georgia's law excluding military retirement income from taxation.

TurboTax Fraud on Tax Return

We have been using Turbo Tax for many years. In 2020 there was fraud on our tax return. The IRS caught it. Had to verify identity. In 2021 we had to prove our identity again. Just found out this week there is fraud again on our tax return! Spoke to Turbo Tax this week Feb 7 I think with Donyae. Everything on Turbo looks fine. He said they have nothing to do with the IRS! How are they still in business. This is 3 years in a row. I will never use Turbo again! I want my money back for this year and 2021. It is not fair that I paid for services that were not delivered. Daniel and Victoria Spair. [protected]@aol.com

Desired outcome: Please refund.

TurboTax TurboTax is a scam

I had insurance for a whole 3 months. I had an HSA card which I never used, and I'm not even sure I had anything on it.

I checked the box on TurboTax saying I had insurance and an HSA card. It said I was getting another $11 back. At the end, it said I had to pay $39 to upgrade, or I couldn't complete my taxes. I searched and couldn't find any other way. So, after upgrading, it actually took $78 from my return, instead of the $39 it claimed.

So, I paid $78 to get another $11, for no real reason. If I were to do my own taxes, on paper form, and through physical mail, it wouldn't require an additional $78. So, why does it cost more money to do it online? What is their reasoning?

I WILL be searching for another option, next year. TurboTax sux!

Desired outcome: I want my $78 back!

TurboTax TurboTax Deluxe

What a terrible experience ! My return would not print and I also had a very difficult time trying to determine why I was not getting a foreign tax credit. I spent hours on the phone with a representative who could not help me and could not find anyone else to help either. There is a screen regarding foreign tax credit that tells you to double click to elect form 1116 to claim the credit vs a deduction but there is nowhere to double click ! Ridiculous ! This occurred on Monday January 30,2023 all afternoon. The representative apologized several times for the frustration and time it was taking and sent me a service code for a 20% discount. She knew that I had already paid the TuboTax fee. I called back to see how to use the 20% discount given that I had already paid the fee. Rep said I can't use it. Unbelievable !

Desired outcome: Full refund of the $39 fee.

TurboTax Turbotax Live Self-Employed

I have a Self-Employed 1099 and as soon as you list that, TurboTax automatically includes the Live Self-Employed with a charge big additional charge to you. My charge was $169.00.

The issue is they don't make clear how to file without using the Self-Employed Live. If it is not needed, why make it seem like it is, or not CLEARLY stating a choice not to use Self-Employed Live.

I have been using TurboTax for many, many years and find that the tactics they are using are getting more deceptive each year.

Only be doing online research do you find that you can change that, but it requires you to start all over again, and how will you enter this information without Self-Employed being added again!

Desired outcome: Make it clear, what they are attempting to charge you for, and if LIVE is not needed stop trying to automatically adding it without clearly stating how to file without an $89+ charge.

TurboTax Turbo Tax 2022

Purchased

Turbo tax for year 2022 taxes from Sams Club. Installed and proceeded to work on tax return. When finished, software offered upgrade for $39.00. I had already

purchased so I entered the License number or key. The machine responded with Service number accepted and applied. However, I could not progress beyond the point of asking for upgrade. I assume that if I want to finish my taxes, I will have to pay once again for upgrade.

No point in returning to Sams Club; they will probably think I don't know what I am doing and everyone else will be ok.

TurboTax Turbotax deluxe

[protected]:00 I installed Turbotax Deluxe for tax year 2022, transferred information from last year's Turbotax file, and began entering information for this year's tax return. I need to be away from my computer for a while, so I attempted to save the file.

Turbotax will not allow me to save the file to my computer. The default location is the Documents folder on the cloud, and I cannot change it. I can see the Documents folder on my computer in a list at the left of the window, but I cannot see or navigate to the folder where my previous years' tax returns are stored.

If I cannot control where my data is saved, I want an immediate refund.

I am using a MacBook Pro, running Mac OS 12.6.2.

Desired outcome: Allow me to save to my computer, or refund my purchase price plus tax.
