1. [R1] TurboTax 1/5 · US TOO EXPENSIVE!!!: H&R Block online is better!!! more of the forms that TurboTax charge are free on H&R Block. You don’t have to pay for filing unemployed income moving you from the free option to almost 100 bucks. Your better off going to an office and filing. Your getting ******* anyway, may as well have an actual person in the room.
2. [R2] TurboTax 5/5 · US Very helpful: I love turbo tax because they are trustworthy and easy. I’ve used turbo tax for years. The free version because my taxes are easy, no brainer every year until this year. I had a 1099. It made it a bit more difficult. They only thing I did Not like was the scare tactics they used to get me to upgrade upgrade upgrade. I barely made $27,000. and as you know that’s not much money for
3. [R6] TurboTax 5/5 · US First time doing taxes: This was my first time doing taxes and I would definitely recommend it. Since it was my first time and i’m not that well educated on this subject i decided to go in person and get help with someone. She told me i would be returned $500 but she was charging me $250 for her service- I was shocked by the price she was charging me and starting exploring other options. I decide
4. [R12] TurboTax 2/5 · US Scam-like Services (Be mindful investors): I used to have no problem using TurboTax, it was easy for me to file my own taxes. But if you find yourself getting caught up in clicking on assistance throughout your tax session you may find yourself getting charged extra for using TurboTax. I understand that you are utilizing a tool that is given to you and somewhere in the fine print that is the reaso
5. [R8] TurboTax 5/5 · US TurboTax is great unless you get Andrew C: Been using TurboTax for about 9 years now and usually have an easy time doing my taxes. Highly recommend it to anyone. However; my wife used TurboTax and decided to pay for a professional to do them for her. Andrew C. did my wife’s taxes and seemed to do a fine job at first. This was in March, at least a month before tax day. He calls a week later and s
6. [R13] TurboTax 1/5 · US Greedy asks for more money than a real CPA: Nothing about my return is complicated. Turbo tax hides ways to lower fees on purpose trying to get you to stay on higher price (it hides options that are lower price on purpose which is evil). Not only that they charge $40 extra on top of $300 just to direct deposit your refund. This company needs to go bankrupt under. Will never use turbo tax again in
7. [R15] TurboTax 1/5 · US Not worth it, Expensive for frustrating Experience: You have to consent to give your information on multiple forms. One of them is standard and the others are giving or selling your info. No good. I finished, paid, got confirmation and then two days later a get an email saying taxes were not finished. I had to go back in to fix it and now it’s late. I had a hard time with duplicate states showing
8. [R3] TurboTax 1/5 · US Ineffective support systems: I will not belabor the nightmare TurboTax put me through to correct a simple error that resulted in the IRS rejecting my taxes. An error created by the initial full service tax preparer. It took several hours over 4 days on the phone with half a dozen different people to complete a simple, trivial task. Needless to say, TurboTax clearly needs better customer relatio
9. [R5] TurboTax 1/5 · US sucks: I filed with turbo tax and they estimated a 2k refund then the irs reduced it to $300 because turbo tax filed it in wrong with the documents i gave them. Made me pay $100 just to file because they wouldn't allow me to file online. Called them and refused to help me saying i have to upgrade if i want help. Had to go to pay a professional for help who told me i can only claim 1/3 of my tips f
10. [R7] TurboTax 1/5 · US Disappointing ripoff: I started my return in March . I was told it would be done in a few days. After weeks of being switched from expert to expert, multiple chats and a lot of stress with my account being lost, really no answers to what the problem was. My return was done on The evening of April 15 after about 4 hours on the phone and my final expert not understanding why my return had been passe
11. [R19] TurboTax 1/5 · US It’s a money grab: Used to love Turbo Tax, but now after this year, I will just go to a professional. They constantly try to sell you an upgrade to buy “expert help” and at some points you can’t go further unless you pay for the upgrade. Once you pay, they can never seem to help you and you end up doing it yourself anyway. Also, tried to help my son through it, he was forced to upgrade to “expert
12. [R17] TurboTax 1/5 · US So disappointed: I’ve used TurboTax for years, and rarely have I felt so betrayed by a service I used to love. Unlike the past several years, where all I’ve had to do was pay my state return fee, I was forced to pay for a subscription despite my taxes becoming less complicated and I was forced to pay two hidden processing fee which was never disclosed until the end of the process. My TurboTax bill
13. [R27] TurboTax 1/5 · US Greedy: Had to pay $118 to file. On top of that, the option to take the money out of your refund costs an extra $40. I will NEVER use turbo tax again. GREEDY!!!!!!!
14. [R28] TurboTax 1/5 · US Lies: They make you pay to file period they offer a free option and you’re still paying 2 fees and sometimes it will upgrade ur service without permission and won’t let you change it so it charges and additional $200 something. Will never use agin.
15. [R26] TurboTax 1/5 · US SCAM: I did EVERYTHING myself, never clicked anything “deluxe,” and when I tried to find what they were actually charging me for, I couldn’t find anything. It’s a scam, I guess I’m finally moving over to HR BLOCK because if I’m going to pay it’s not going to be these thieves.
16. [R41] TurboTax 1/5 · US This app is a scam: Used to be the best tax service around now by the time you are done they are charging you $300 for their "services" when they do nothing I filled everything out your experts did nothing to save me money or help me. I will be using H and R block. Their charges are right up front and nothing changes by the end of the return you don't go from a $50 charge to $300. Save money and d
