  • Used it for years!

    I have used Turbo Tax since 2003. I have never once had a problem and it helped me with the most complicated tax issues. I have always felt safe, secure and accurate when filing my taxes. Especially needed the help when I became a widow and then disabled. I recommend it for my own children and have also helped many many friends do their taxes via Turbo Tax when they felt they needed help. I also felt more in control of the information I was submitting. Not to mention, the education I received from using Turbo Tax regarding the tax laws and what I am legally allowed to claim when recognizing work, childcare and health expenses. This app automatically downloads your W-2 from the payroll department from your employer if that option is available and your job uses a major payroll provider. I enjoyed the experience learning how to do my taxes on my own. Very simple, fast and extremely accurate.

  • Demanding a refund!

    Had so many bugs not fixed on tax day. I had used it months earlier to get an idea of what my refund would be but when I found out I would owe money I decided to wait until I had the money before filling.
    On tax day it said I owed $0 and refund was $0. I got all the way to the end and it said I was ineligible to digitally file my Federal and would have to print it off and mail it to the IRS instead!??
    Every time you clicked the link to print the federal the app cycled you through the last 2 or 3 pages. I was unable to file AFTER I already paid $107 to TurboTax! I didn’t have time so I started over with the H&R app instead, was easy accurate and not glitchy as heck.
    I called my bank immediately to try and cancel the payment but was told because I couldn’t go to my bank that same day I’d have to work with TurboTax to get my money back.
    I’ve been trying to research how to get my money back while I wait till Monday when their call hours are. From what I’ve read you can’t get your money back from TurboTax after it’s already been paid. I’ll be demanding TurboTax repay me the $107 I paid to file. Wish me luck and never use TurboTax; it’s honestly easier to do it by hand.

  • TurboTax is going downhill

    I originally used TurboTax in 2015. It followed by the IRS saying my information was obtained and steps to follow. From talking with other individuals and research, it sounded like this happened to TurboTax users. I switched to a different company, TaxAct, to complete my 2016 taxes. I returned to TurboTax in 2017 as it sounded like more security was in place and they had the flexibility of mobile filing. For someone who doesn’t have a working computer, this was a great option! Unfortunately, upon filing, the IRS rejected my information since I did not provide information from the previous year. TurboTax did not highlight this from the get go, but they had to problem requiring me to sign up for several other fees - the site required me to sign up and when I pressed the back button to go back to review my options, it kept refreshing the page until I agreed to the fee to continue. For me, TurboTax is not there for its customers and is not seeing the big picture - making filing taxes easier. I guess at the end of the day when I talked to a representative, my understanding is Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I would suggest looking into another company, since TurboTax is not like it used to be.

  • Never using TurboTax again!!!

    If I could give zero stars, I would! I finished my return and when I went to e-file, and it told me that it could tell that I used a different account to file last year. Which is completely accurate. My ex-husband and I used his account to file during our marriage. It then told me that in order to verify that it was indeed me trying to file my taxes, it prompted me to log out and log into the account that was used to file last year’s taxes, so that they could verify last year’s AGI. I was then forced to contact my ex-husband to get the log in information. I logged into the account the account and then back into my account, but it still said that it had to verify my AGI. Why can’t I just input it myself?!?!? I looked in the helpline, but nothing was even remotely helpful. I then resorted to calling customer service where I was informed I would be automatically upgraded and charged FORTY FREAKING DOLLARS for trying to get help!!! I then changed my filing method to file by mail where it took me to a screen that only had a link to change it back to e-file. I still have not been able to file my taxes...four days later.

  • Going down hill?

    I’ve used this app for filing all the time. It works great. They never charge me. Thus time I was not charge but i didn’t understand why all my information wasn’t there like the year before. That didn’t bother me, i have lots of patients seeing that i work in a mental hospital. The thing that bothered me was the camera part. The previous years it worked perfectly fine. It didn’t mix up numbers or anything. But this time apparently the camera couldn’t get numbers right. For example switching a 9 with a 0 or switching a 8 with a 3. Thank God I have patients and I made sure everything was correct. I had to redo numbers because the picture had changed them. I was better off not taking a picture at all. And also I noticed at one point it didn’t put my numbers in a box, I was shocked. But it’s okay, I still got them done. I don’t know what’s going on with Turbo Tax but please fix it because i do recommend Turbo Tax to people.
