I thought things were going great this year. However, I was wrong. Turbo Tax started offering to file free for anyone who is not loyal to them. Strike one. Then I am forced to upgrade to Premium. Strike 2. This is because I sold a stock at a loss. The loss was $36 dollars. How much did the upgrade save me? It saved me minus $10.75. This means that the loss would have saved me a total of 7 dollars of my taxes. I had to pay an extra $10.75 for the upgrade. I would rather have given the IRS more money and not gotten the upgrade. On top of all of this, Turbo Tax pushes fees and upgrades on every page.
Each year I skip the state filing because my state has an electronic filing online portal. So easy. I think next year I'll go to another firm who will give me free filing if I didn't file with them last year. Then, maybe Turbo Tax will want me back.
i love turbo tax!! its always been a quick and informative process, ive never felt cheated and i always learn something new, every year i feel updated and informed on the latest, tax wise. this is my 7th year filing with turbo tax. next will be my 8th!
