I was unexpectantly surprised with a $110 fee this year. I have been filing with Turbo Tax over 4 years and I was not expecting to pay this much. This will make me rethink how I will file my taxes in 2025. I used to tell everyone about Turbo Tax, and how inexpensive it was. I continue on with the filing even after the charges, but I am truly going to have to reconsider going forward. I don't like surprises especially with a company I have done business with for so many years. It started at $31.00 and by the end of me filing it was up to $110. Very dissappointed.
It was very easy to complete my taxes. The only problem was I had a hard time trying edit my employee's EIN number due to me entering a wrong number. The instructions were hard to follow.
I chose to do the standard free package and throughout the process, was informed that I could get more back for doing the Deluxe package. When completing my return, I chose to upgrade it to Deluxe to see if the return amount would increase but it did not. I could not change anything in my settings to see what the difference was or remove deluxe package after. So, I essentially paid $49.00 for nothing since there were no changes in the amount nor areas in which I would have added or done anything differently.
Pros: My employment status changed this year, I moved, I bought or sold investments
Super easy to use! I was waiting for another W-2. I entered the information I had from the first W-2. I came back when I recieved my other W-2. All the information I had previously entered was saved and I could continue on right where I left off. TurboTax also populated information from the previous year which made doing my taxes a breeze!
