This is my first year using 'online' version vs. desktop software version used in the past due to not being able to update my Mac browser due to its age or unable to update to Windows 11 due to my PC age (not happy about being forced to buy new Mac and now new PC just to use TurboTax, do the techies factor that in when they force you to update your browsers ?!?!). My only real issue with 'online' version is lack of control, mostly not being able to switch between 'step by step' process as on desktop versions to seeing the worksheets and tax forms when a question arises or when I need to enter manual inputs, almost like TurboTax is trying to force me to pay for the support services by not letting me see the details myself. Also, I only found out that I would be able to download the data files AFTER I paid (in case I need to upload them to next year to TurboTax's or a competitior's PC version), it should tell you this BEFORE you pay. Also should make it clear that if you select 'file by mail' on the State portion, you've already paid for E-filing anyway and that no partial credit would be given if you choose this path. Product is good otherwise but could use some improvements.
TurboTax used to be great for filing my taxes. Now it just feels like a money grab. They advertise the free version but, it is no longer free. This will be the last year I file with them.
I've been using TurboTax for close to 10 years and haven't had any issues. The prices though are starting to get a little ridiculous. It seems there is an extra fee for everything now. A $40 fee just to use my refund as payment? A $35 fee for Quick Deposit to my bank? I have no choice to go with the Deluxe version because of how I have to file now. My refund gets eaten up just in fees if I elect into these programs. I will have to look for another method of filing online next year, or just go into a local tax prep company.
