Turbo Tax - The last time!

As a user for many years, I felt like they have priced themselves out of the market.  Never minded paying for e-filing but now you have to buy the Sate at $40.00 per pop so now $90.00 for a way to file your taxes is absurd. I won't buy next year!

I have used Turbo tax since it first came out. I used to have an accountant that charged me $400 back in the 80's and caused me to have a costly mistake in my inventory numbers.

I learned that I can put together my business numbers, that I gave to him and just enter them in Turbo Tax. Always worked great and then when the free Federal electronic filing came around, I used it every year and then just mailed in my simple State return.

About ten years back, I took the H & R tax course and worked for them for a season, so I know a little more than most about taxes and can use the form system or the guided questions that Turbo Tax asks. I really recommend that people should take the H & R course in the summer.

It was a huge surprise to me that this year free Federal electronic filing was not included and I had to pay for it! I always paid for the State Electronic Filing, but now there were two extra fees. This is why TT is getting four stars instead of five.

By the way, my son, the poor student, was able to file electronically for free with the online version of Free Turbo Tax which we found thru the government website: irs.gov/efile

I used Turbo Tax for filing my taxes last year for the first time.  Very simple to use and great directions.  Liked filing my own taxes online.

I usually use the Turbo Tax on-line site to file my taxes.  This year I waited until the last minute to file and I think the Turbo Tax site was overloaded.  I was unable to access the site.  This Amazon e-version was great.  I was able to download the Turbo Tax software and install it on my computer.  Completed my taxes in about 2 hours which is about the same amount as last year.

I would use this e-version again.

Said Goodbye to turbotax in 2015. Had no problems installing H&R Block , updating, importing the 2013 TT data from the TT file, and had no problems adding 2014 itemizations and filing. I appreciated the lower cost than TurboTax. I appreciate the absence of nag and marketing screens and pop-ups that TurboTax inundated me with. I would have zero reservations to use H&R again, but might try Tax Act in 2016 if it is a better price. Goodbye forever Intuit!

As a long-time Turbo Tax customer I was a bit alarmed at the necessity of changing, but after seeing the dumb*ss comments made by the Turbo Tax exec to the reviews criticizing this year's changes to Turbo Tax (and the higher pricing), I just felt it was the least I could do to "vote" against Turbo Tax with my money.

For reasons unclear to me, H&R's program wasn't able to utilize last year's Turbo Tax detail to populate this year's program, but frankly, feeding the H&R program with the needed info wasn't that big a deal and didn't make much difference time-wise.

The most important thing I can say about the H&R program is that it is a bit less intuitive than Turbo Tax was, at least for dummies like me, but with a little help over my shoulder, I was able to get my fed return e-filed.  I ran into a bit of trouble with e-filing for California (and the explanation H&R offered wasn't clear) so I'll simply file the CA return old fashioned way (mail) and no worries.

One other thing: don't wait till the last weekend to switch if you're tax-return challenged, as I am, and expect H&R's online or phone support to be able to respond rapidly.

I gave Turbo Tax plenty of money and support over the years -- and I like to think of myself as a loyal customer, but Turbo Tax should have put a loyalty/return-user program into place a long time ago to show appreciation and respect for its customers.  I'm confident they will regret their lack of foresight and understanding of customers!

I never have needed H&R or any other tax service. TurboTax is relatively quick, easy and MUCH less expensive than going with a full fledged tax CPA.

Looks like its time for me to pick up a new copy for this year.

The only thing is I wish that updates every year were available to be added to last year's software instead of having to buy a whole new copy each year.

I have used Turbo Tax for over fifteen years and I am well pleased with how easy it has been  to navigate the program.  I think a complete novice can use the program with no problem at all since it walks you through each step. Thank you.

I've been using TurboTax for I don't know how many years.  I have no reason to change.  It was a download, and it went seamlessly.

I will no longer be  using this product. Turbo Tax has a lost a customer who has been with them since they started. Now I know how someone feels when they have been the victim of a crime. I am sure the feeling is similar. My tax situation is very, very simple and yet turbo tax wants more money to do a simple tax return. I will be using HR Block this year and in the future. I will be returning the turbo tax product for a refund.

I have been using Turbo Tax for about 4 years now and the first year was just as easy as the fourth! Turbo Tax is by far the supreme tax software. Ease of use and excellent help tools make it top of its class.  P.S. Much love to the makers of Turbo Tax for quickly rectifying their mistake of redesigning the software.

I am glad I read these reviews about removing schedule D.  I have been using Turbo Tax Deluxe for 20 years, but will be purchasing HR Block's product this year.  What Product Manager or Marketing VP made this decision?  Money always goes where it is treated best. Next year, expect either Intuit to correct their mistake or HR Block to follow Intuit's lead. This policy is so unbelievable that it is the first time I have ever reviewed a product on Amazon.

I noticed a few years ago that the price jumped from $35 to $50 because they included the e-file as mandatory.  They used to charge $15 for the e-file.  This was probably mandated by the government as HR Block did the same thing at the same time. One of the IRS's mandates was to reduce costs by encouraging e-filing.  After more research, Intuit along with other entities are funneling money to Congress against making the tax code easier and less complicated because that affects their revenue stream.
