Received this message tonight. I have used Turbo Tax for 15 years and this years software has been buggy as hell. 2 weeks ago I posted an issue regarding the CA 540 not calculating correctly. Last Thursday's update seemed to fix it. Now this pops up. It appears to me that we have become the beta testers for them. I will definitely consider another platform next year. as the customer I expect the released product to be correct the FIRST time.

    NO tax product can be correct the FIRST time or it won't come out until days before the tax deadline.  With tax laws changing late in the year and sometimes AFTER the close of a year, it is absolutely impossible to get what you are expecting.  ALL tax software starts as a basic shell and is pieced together as the IRS and states get information to the software providers.  You're asking for something that simply isn't possible.

    I disagree. 14 years I have NEVER had an issue. IMO the errors have nothing to do with tax laws. There software developers are not cutting it.

    My California return was pending for 6 days.  Turbo tax says don’t worry.  I knew they were wrong!

    In 10 years filing I NEVER had my state return pending for more than a few hours!

    And today comes back rejected.  No surprise to me.

    charitable contribution error.  I have no charitable contributions and nothing is enter!!! So why would I have an errror!

    the stress and aggravation your flawed software has caused me is insane!   
    Appears this is the second year in a row this has happened.

     

    Wont be using turbo tax ever again!

    So irritating.  I love TurboTax and have used it forever.  This year, it is literally causing me more $ to try to find the error than if I had paid for tax service or used another app.  Hope they fix it soon!

    I strongly agree.

    Yeah I'm not refiling again. This is complete BS. If they still want my money they can figure some other way to get it, it's just not worth the aggrevation and it's not fair. The ball's in their court now.
