If you did accidentally hit accept to the privacy invasion, both companies make it hard to cancel your consent.įor TurboTax, you have to email Be sure to mention that you’d like to revoke your “consent for use of tax return information.” You may even be allowing non US companies to have your data. ![]() It doesn't even specify how long they can use your info or what it's really used for. Laws state they can't auto opt you in, but both companies appear to be almost tricking people to give up their personal information to each company for their tax return.

Has anyone else run into these issues with Turbotax Desktop, or am I screwing something up?Įdit: Apparently the charitable deduction bug is a known issue that has been going on for over a year: The only thing I liked better about the online version was that it could import a pdf of a form like a 1098 or W2 and automatically input the data (usually, it failed once and imported incorrectly on a different one). The online version also doesn't have the detailed help descriptions easily available for more complicated questions and situations.

State additions for municipal bond interest (VWIUX) are being added as subtractions. ![]() And yes, we have well over $600 in charitable cash contributions. I then have to go and manually reset it to 600 in forms. I can visually see when it happens because my tax just jumps up slightly after clicking a button. The charitable deduction for married filed jointly keeps randomly resetting to $300 instead of $600. So I tried Turbotax Online as a double check comparison since my tax situation is semi complicated this year. ![]() I had already purchased Turbotax Desktop and used it before realizing I now get Turbotax free from Fidelity. I'm in the unique situation where I have both Turbotax Desktop and Turbotax Online. ![]()
