Overpriced. Because I had Unemployment it charged me $+ To file. You have to pay for it right away but you don’t get your taxes back for three weeks. You can’t pay for your federal out of your state. You can’t pay for the services out of your taxes. Completely overrated!
Yet again, Turbo tax has forced me to pay more money than it told me I would.
First it forced me to upgrade due to having a Traditional IRA when I in fact only have a Simple IRA. There was no way to back out of this and the only way to proceed was to let it tell me I had a Traditional. As a result, I had to upgrade because my situation was "unique."
I was asked multiple times if I wanted to upgrade, was given to option to say no, and was forced to by the end of it all.
Then, to add insult to injury, I was given my final pricing and was informed that both federal and state would come with separate charges. After choosing to pay with my refund, only to be brought to a new payment screen where I was informed, I would need to pay an extra 40 dollars in processing fees if I wanted to pay with my refund. Ridiculous.
In order to avoid giving more money to this shady company I had to pay 150 upfront, which I really wasn't prepared for. What was supposed to be free, or at least cheap (I would've been happy if all I paid was 50 bucks) came out to roughly 150$, and could have been roughly 200$ if I said yes to the processing fees of paying with my return.
Absolutely disappointed and will never return to this company for my tax needs ever again.
