Disappointing Experience for Military Veterans
on February 1, 2025

I’ve used TurboTax for several years, but filing my 2024 taxes with them has left me frustrated. As a military veteran, I was disappointed to find that I was charged extra fees despite being led to believe there would be discounts or waived fees for veterans. Not only did I have to pay $49 for the Deluxe version, but the extra charges for disbursing payment and using third-party banks to handle my refund were not widely advertised at all. These fees felt deceptive and were not made clear upfront.
The software also constantly prompts you to add services for an additional cost, which feels like a constant upsell. It’s overwhelming and frustrating, especially when you’re just trying to get your taxes done without all the extra hassle. The functionality of the program often feels like it’s designed to force you into paying more at every turn.
Overall, I’m highly disappointed with TurboTax this year. The extra costs, hidden fees, and constant upselling made the whole experience feel more like a scam than a user-friendly tax service. As a veteran, I expected better treatment and transparency, but instead, I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of. I’ll be looking for a different option next year.
