I want to know why I pay $69 for the ability to put together all of my information, then have to pay another $40 to (according to the end of the process) pay for TurboTax. Isn't that what the $69 is for? I know it says at the total it's for some kind of banking fee. but that's not what it says, 1.) it says the $40 is for paying for the TurboTax and 2. I would be interested to know why it costs $40 for direct deposit services. It costs less than a digital workload than an actual PAPER check being written. So why is it more in this case?
Turbo Tax was so easy to use & any time I had a question I just clicked the (?) link. I also talked with an expert whose name was Taylor. I wanted to verify a credit that I received. She was very friendly & helpful.

We love hearing that the process felt effortless for you. Taxes are complicated enough, so we’ve designed our interface to take the guesswork out of every step.
Every year, I get an on-screen offer from Turbo Tax for the cost of their suggested product, but they switch the price on you (same product) at the time of filing. I have a screenshot from Jan 25th where they offered the product I used for $49 (down from $79) with no codes offered, yet at the time of filing they insist on charging $69 for the same exact product with zero recourse. Shady practice, but a constant year-over-year thing I've noticed.
Don't understand why I had to pay $128 just because I have an HSA. I made $0 of individual distributions to the HSA and ended up losing almost $60 by setting up that account, which most would call a responsible decision. Also, it wasn't nice that you said it would be $70 then charged me $128 because the state fees were completely hidden. Process wasn't bad, just upset about the hidden fees.
Pretty good, they walk you through everything. Sucks that I can only use the agent at the very end of my filing process.
