Turbotax seems to be slipping, cutting corners

I have used turbotax for many years and found it significantly more difficult this year. It was much harder to navigate to specific issues. I had a couple of situations where it took me hours to get to the bottom of a problem.
It was very easy to work through the process, and I very rarely had to refer to Google to answer my questions. For the things I went to Google for, they were personal specific questions.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

We love hearing that the process felt effortless for you. Taxes are complicated enough, so we’ve designed our interface to take the guesswork out of every step.
I have very little dividends and my financial manager does the investing. It is all reinvested. So I have to upgrade to Premium addition of Turbo Tax...$139!!!! I have to pay to file my taxes. Not because I owe taxes JUST to file. Seems very unfair to me. Yes it is convenient and I don't mind paying a FAIR price. But this is way too much.
Excellent. A lot of fees though. The fees ran a little costly for me.

We appreciate the positive review! While we understand that pricing is a major factor, we’re committed to delivering a quick, accurate, top-tier tax filing experience that justifies the cost. Your feedback helps us keep a pulse on that balance.
TurboTax saying I was “free to file” was a strong start.
Then the whole process turned into nonstop upsells, plus another **$64** for state filing that showed up way too late in the game. By the end, I paid around **$200** to file online for what looks like the same exact thing the desktop version does for about **$55**.
Nothing makes you trust a company more than realizing “free” apparently just means “we’ll discuss pricing later.”
Very user friendly and easy to walk through every step of income and deductions.

The AI box would pop up at times that seemed inconvenient, but I felt it was also helpful. Maybe an option in the future to use the AI or not.
