Thankful, and I have thoughts

I was surprised to see that there were not separate fees for federal and state filing. I expected to pay double which I was reluctant to use the service because of last year. I think TurboTax did that one year and I vowed not to again. The system is super easy to use, and the $100 or so fee could be too much for someone in poverty, I'm grateful it didn't hurt me too much. Having an low income level qualifying option for a smaller fee would be cool for people like my single parent brother with two little girls. Still, I won't remove a star for that with the hope that the company combined federal and state income filing fees in the spirit of being accessible to everyone. My federal return increased by $400 by using Turbo Tax over a free one on the IRS website. It's a great product everyone should have some kind of access to regardless of adjusted gross income.

We're thrilled to hear that you were happy with your filing experience! We appreciate the feedback about our fees, and will be sure to share that feedback with our team.
Some of the "review" sections and some of the selections for input are not intuitive and/or they require more steps than they should.
As an example, I have two depends, rather than the software having me review their information, I have to tell the system that I want to review it; so, I lost time trying to figure out why I was not getting dependent credits. Also, when selecting the method to upload documents, I first have to select which process I want to use then click continue, this feels like it should be a one step process, not two.
The same sort of thing happened last year, where I unintentionally made a deduction selection, and then spent close to an hour trying to figure out how to de-select the errant selection.
With LLMs being what they are, the amount of clicking and input I have to do, for a simple filing seems a little wild to me. Perhaps a "do any of these changes apply" if no then auto-populate everything and then one click to move on.
Service is good otherwise.

We're happy to hear that your interaction with our customer service team met your expectations. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your trust in TurboTax.
i dont believe i used any of the "deluxe" features and dont know how to remove this for future times. i like being able to submit my taxes quick but at this price i could go to a local tax professional and have them submit it for less.
