I have used turbo tax for many years. No issues with the web site. Easy. Fast. Competitively priced. They even dealt with an audit for me because a company reported information wrong and it didn't match what I reported. Turbotax completely handled that, getting the company to correct their information with the IRS. So no issues for many years. And then today I hit a problem. Many people reported it as a bug on the Inuit help site, and there were lots of suggestions to work around it or fix it, but several hours later none of them had worked for me. I finally gave up and called the 1800 number. Daviette was amazing, easy to understand, walked through it with me and said there are two ways to input the same information, and suggested I use another screen and that screen saved the data without the error! The excellent customer service today has kept me as a customer.
Horrible experience. First time using this instead of FreeTaxUSA, as I thought the return would be free for this year. Not only was the return not free, because this wasn't a "simple" return, the software has so many bugs and issues which makes it difficult to file. Once I submitted, it said "Success", then throws an error afterwards, this happened multiple times. Would not recommend this software, the free alternatives work way better.
Some of the wizard gets repetitive if you want to look at an option that you didn't explore originally. I would rather not go through all of the options I feel I had already worked through.
Very greedy. I would give zero stars if it let me. Hidden $40 processing fee and forced me to get MAX because I had common investment accounts. I give it a few more years and this company will start losing enough money to have to reassess or fold. This business model that deceives taxpayers is likely compounded by the salaries of its worthless executives that make these decisions. I remember when it was free to file. Will definitely be filing elsewhere next year and encouraging everyone I know to do the same.
