evan9381 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Fail. I've used them for the last 5 or 6 years...nothing to complain about...no more. This year, i chose the delux version figuring it would help with everything from new home, finally having savings accounts gaining interest, few stock situations, and a couple other things. then i get an email from them saying i can use the delux version for $19.95. i figure this is better than paying the $29.95, so i click the link in my email (mind you, this is from turbotax, same email they always send me stuff from) it takes me back to all my info ive already started to enter...i go to check out, and it wants to charge me the $29.95. get the 800#, get connected to india (which pisses me off to no end...doesnt help much that ive been sick for 4 days, my mood is that much shittier), and they tell me to go ahead and pay the $29.95 and then call back in a few days to ask for the refund of $10. WTF! you send me an email offering me X price, but want me to pay more and then jump through hoops to call back and get a refund? fuck that. ill go with another company that wont dick me around.

Billiumss Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 If your gonna pay, ALWAYS buy a box version and call it a day. I've been using Turbo Tax for years, gotta watch out for those emails they send out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigflee Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) If you make less than 57k a year you can use a bunch of different ones for free. I've used the HR block one for a few years now I like it. http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html Edited January 30, 2010 by bigflee more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Just got my return from TurboTax, money in the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I've used Turbotax every year since I started filing tax returns in 1995. Hasn't done me wrong yet. I haven't even bothered getting it yet, since I know I haven't got all our tax crap in yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Miata Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I use HR Block online free version for the federal half, and just use the Ohio Dept. of Taxation site for filing the state half since HR Block wants you to pay for that. Then again, I'm still filed as a dependent under my parents and my part time school job barely takes any taxes out, so I filed all my taxes in about 20 minutes. Looking forward to a whopping $51 bucks in my pocket next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcz06 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 H&R Block is what my girlfriend uses. I haven't decided if I want to file using a tax agent, that charges $100(But you get it back next year) or use the H&R software. Also, note that Turbotax doesn't cover anything, if you get audited and H&R software covers that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have it done professionally. I thought about trying HRB TaxCut online this year, but the wife had some capital gains and school related stuff that seemed to complicate things so I stayed with a pro.

ImUrOBGYN Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've used turbotax previously. Last year, though, I used it for my gf's taxes but tried out freetaxusa.com. This year, I took another look at turbotax and realized not only was it a ripoff, but they can't even seem to agree to a $amount on their own website and cd mail offers. Freetaxusa allowed me to do both federal and state (it also allows you to transfer in your details from last year if you used them - turbotax charges you) for only $9.95. That's $20 for both of us. Turbotax would've been $80 with "free federal filing". Horseshit. Also, freetaxusa is a recommended IRS website. Actually, I believe Ohio has a free filing website for state if you choose to only do say free federal on one site and then do your state seperately.
