Seems a bit of a price gouge to me. I understand I had to have premium this year but it should not cost $60+ to E file a state return in addition to cost of Turbo Tax Premium. Even if you spend the extra time trying to switch state to mail, your going to get whacked with the fee anyways. No way it should cost me as much as walking into a tax professional's office.
I used Turbo Tax last year and I paid for the extras. But when I use Turbo Tax this year, I found out that I had not taken the total amount of RMD funds I was supposed to take in 2024...so I wound up having to pay over $3,500 in penalty fees this year. Turbo Tax had access to my retirement funds in 2024 and should have told me that I needed to take more required minimum distributions. Turbo Tax did not do that, but had another chance it looks like...there is a date by which you can take that RMD and pay no penalties or at least less penalty. So I'm not very happy with Turbo Tax.
Understanding the prompts and information was very easy. I didn't like that I didn't know if my information was being saved. It is a bit pricey for standard serves when all the tax information is basic. But at least I feel I can trust the services
