The process is fast and easy but by the end I feel like the fees from TurboTax are just stealing from my return. In all I guess everything has its pros and cons.
SO. You're gonna tell me in the beginning, that I can file for free..... very good. Advertising is America's most skilled attribute compared to any country in the world. Most of, if not every one of these companies that advertise a "free product" are certainly lying to you. Turbo tax is not free. If you want to file... you owe them a $100. Plain and simple. Its not free
Pros: My employment status changed this year, I moved, I bought or sold investments
Great experience! TurboTax is easy to use and saves me a lot of time while filing my taxes each year. The price to file is also much lower than the fees I've paid in the past to have a tax preparer do it for me.
Taxes have become so complicated that I would never try to file without TurboTax as my guide. They walk you through step-by-step making each step as easy as possible. The only thing easier would be a flat tax with no deductions or just a National Sales Tax and eliminate Federal Taxes.
