This is my 4 th year using turbo tax, and for me it has been the easiest way to go to file my taxes. My return has been rather simple each year but even if they were super simple I would still bet on Turbo tax to guide me through and file correctly . Will continue using year after year .
Overall, the actual process is Excellent. The main issue I believe is the constant asking for services to be upgraded, to spend more money which most of the time is unnecessary. Also, the constant fees at the end is almost like a Set-Up. All These Fees need to be made at the beginning before people get extremely upset after completing it, only to find out.... It isn't free, and it costs money to send it, and another fee to be taken if the refund is used to pay for it. Some people won't get as much, yet their being squeezed for every dollar.
The reason giving 3 out of 5 is because you get us to do our taxes and then we can't go further without doing the deluxe edition. It's not Zero dollars you always make us pay to do them. So, stop adverting Zero dollars to file.
