TurboTax 2009 SLOW

Dec 10, 2009 3 Replies

Has anyone started using TT09? I know I don't have a very fast computer but TurboTax has never been this slow entering data. Anyone else had a similar experience?



Hi, Bobster.

I just installed TT09 Basic a few minutes ago. I didn't notice any slowness. My computer WAS fast when I built it 3 years ago and is still reasonably quick. (AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 w/4 GB RAM and plenty of SATA HDD space) I had to Remove the program and install it again because I put it into the wrong folder the first time, but that was MY mistake.

I've not entered data except for importing from TTax 08 and Quicken 2010 to get just a preliminary look for clues as to what stocks I need to sell before year-end. I did add a couple of "what-if" numbers. All seemed to work at normal speeds.

Thanks. Maybe it's time for me to upgrade.

TurboTax 2009 is incredibly slow. They changed the form format as you can see to use some different image engine. I have a ton of memory, disk space and a fast processor. It is at least 50%+ slower than previous versions. I have the Deluxe version. Horrible. Next year they need to shape up.......
