Disingenuous In-line Product/Marketing

The product selection for 2025 taxes felt "scammy."
As a long-term customer, I was disappointed by the 2025 tax year product selection workflow, which lacked the transparency I’ve come to expect. Specifically, the 'Expert' add-on was presented early in the process without a clear 'opt-out' or 'remove' button. Despite declining the service in subsequent screens, the upcharge remained in my final invoice.
The lack of a 'remove' option within the billing summary itself is particularly problematic. Requiring users to navigate to a separate side-menu to recalculate their bill feels disingenuous and creates a significant barrier for less tech-savvy users. I hope to see a return to a more straightforward, less "scammy," and honest interface in future updates.
If these marketing and sales tricks remain, I will consider using a different product.
Overall it was a good experience. There are some bugs which I needed to redo parts of my return. Overall I will use again next year.
Pros: My employment status changed this year

I have been using Turbo Tax for 15+ years, and do not like only having an online option, or the need to have to upgrade my laptop to make it compatible.

We’re glad you chose us, but sorry to hear the process wasn’t as seamless as it should have been. Your insights are being shared with our team so we can fix these friction points for the future.
First time filing on-line vs. download app. A bit more questions to navigate, but made it through the process with relative ease. Overall, not a bad experience.

It’s great to know you found TurboTax so intuitive. We work hard to keep the interface clear and the questions simple so you can finish your taxes with confidence and speed.
It was my first time filing my own taxes, it was not too bad.
