Personal experience: every year TurboTax gets at least one thing wrong per filing, and it's always a different thing. Always love getting stopped at the "error check" with a question about how some field that's supposed to be a zero is blank, or some field that's supposed to be blank is a zero, because the guided questions and the tax forms aren't communicating properly.

State taxes are full of really confusingly-worded questions and things I've never heard of, with little explanation as to what means what. At least the federal section has proper explanations of things.

The state ones are hilarious, because they offer no guidance: •Wangled Garbfinkle Reduction of the Belaurtiun Disaster Zone• will say “if this applies to you enter the amount from form L3O-P4RD”
