Turbo has lost its Turbo

I have been using for several years but much difficulty this year compared to others. It was a real pain --you need to fine tune it or people will go nuts
If I didn't have a decade of tax returns done through TT, I'd leave. Gets the job done, but there are ads and upsells are at every single turn. This whole 'service' feels like a scam to take advantage of people trying to navigate a complicated tax system. I thought that deducting the cost of TurboTax out of my return would be the easiest option, but when I got to the next screen, it said there would be a $40 FEE if I chose to do that! But paying with a credit card had no fee... are you kidding me? That is so slimy. You clearly don't have customers' best interest in mind, just making a buck. My state doesn't require filing State Income Tax, which TT excitedly said "good news, you don't need to file with your state!" Then a few screens later it said "you haven't started your state return - there could be discounts for you there." Yet another opportunity for you to try and upsell me. I see through your games, and they're gross. You're not empowering customers, you're taking advantage of them. I don't use TurboTax because I want to, I use it because I feel like I have to.
Pros: My employment status changed this year, I bought or sold investments
Been using turbo tax for 15+ years it's easy to use and a great opportunity for this younger generation to learn how to file their taxes on their own. I started using Turbo tax when I was in the Military, and I still use them to this day.
