We only needed to file a simple1040. Based on TurboTax filing we were to get a refund but the IRS had other plans and wiped out our refund and we wound up having to pay due to a change in the tax rules. Called customer service only to be told "oops". We were not charged fees or interest so TurboTax said they had no control of the IRS rule changes. Bull! We'll never give TurboTax our money and neither should you!

Didn't request deluxe feature to file federal taxes but there was no way to move forward without paying. I used to file people's taxes so it's fraud to force me to pay for you to process my 'free' federal tax return. Never using Turbo Tax again. What a rip off!!

I was forced to pay $300 only to have my payment for my 1099 be rejected. I can’t even get a refund. They made it seem like that charge was part of my actually owed taxes! The site is supposed to be free and they hardly have anything telling you what that actually covers. Worthless website, I’d rather work with H&R and save money while getting genuinely better service.

I wish I knew beforehand that TurboTax already was severely scrutinized by the Federal Trade Commission for their “deceptive practices.” While scrolling through this software, filling in my information, I never utilized any “expert” help offered at any time. I did see it stated a cost this year of $12 and possibly “other fees” for some services if needed. No even vague amounts were mentioned would be added nor any specific reasons what they could be were ever listed directly. I heard that it was not completely free this year. Finally, as I was getting ready to sign and submit my taxes, I noticed the wrong bank was shown that I preferred to have my refund deposited in as a default somehow. I wanted the money to go in my checking account.
I tried to go back a page to edit it but nothing was letting me change the information. I wished I looked up the problem on the web first but I thought the chat bubble was for tech support help such as this glitch. It gave me no answers as to what to do anyway. So, I thought if I just continued and paid that small fee with my checking account, maybe it might just switch over to my chosen institution. Then, I was given a receipt for $129 for some “deluxe” service (by typing in about the technical error!). I didn’t know by merely trying to get out of their own program’s error I would get charged! I’ve now read so many reviews for how many people felt scammed by Turbo Tax in which the people filing had no clue ahead of time what, as well as how much, they were being charged for! Turbo should be blacklisted by the Better Business Bureau too if they aren’t already!

I just filed my taxes with Turbo Tax and even paid for the deluxe package to ensure that my return is 100% correct. After getting a quote of $6000 I was happy to pay the extra $300 to get it looked over, after everything I received a actual return of $800 and they still took my $300 as "You are satisfied before you filed". Yeah I was because an expert I trusted said everything looked good. Trying to leave a review is useless as I talk to an agent for 30min about my situation for them to just transfer me around. Never again recommending or using their services. Their guarantees are gimmicks to get people to sign in.

I have always used Turbotax without issue BUT it seems they like to up sale you without you knowing it. I have fairly easy taxes, usually guy the Deluxe and I get 20.00 off from my credit union. This year however somehow it up sold me without me knowing it. They did not confirm that is what I wanted. They charged for Live Help which I didn't use and for Proprietary business filing?? which I didn't use. I loaded my credit card thinking I was going to go to another screen but nope it processed my normal $75.00 taxes to $198.00 for services I didn't use. I called customer service, nice lady she filled out a form and as soon as I hung up I got an email saying they don't refund money that was already processed. WTH..
So I tried to file a complaint again but it tied my email to the previous one and sent me back the same explanation. I tried to and after I pushed the number for customer service it hung up on me 4 times... I then researched lawsuits and it seems they have been sued for this a few times before. I will NEVER EVER use them again. IT's a SCAM they up sale you and take your money. Don't trust them they have gotten greedy.

Signed up for TurboTax Advantage. You get free audit defense with the package. They sent me an email saying that I had to select which return to use it on by the end of April but that it was free. I tried to do what the email said and it kept trying to charge me. I called the "special dedicated" advantage line - no one answers, the AI doesn't work, voice mail goes to empty voicemail, no one returns your call. Called the TurboTax help line - talked to 5 different people. They hung up on me, disconnected me, did not know what I was talking about, sent me to the wrong person and then the last person said I did not qualify because I did not purchase the advantage program even though they sent me emails saying I did. Customer service is awful but I do like the product.

Horrific experience with TurboTax this year! I opted for full service. It took four weeks and a day for TurboTax to prepare my return! During that four weeks, I called, chatted, and mostly stressed. I uploaded all my documents on the first day and I was given a price of $3 83. When they finally were done with my taxes four weeks later they wanted close to $1,000! I had uploaded all my documents on day one so nothing changed. I refused to pay and I’ve now uploaded everything to H&R Block.

Horrible, sketchy business tactics. If you have anything besides W2s they charge. Then aren't completely honest what they charge until after. Said I needed Deluxe to file for a set price, then charged to file state as well. Used them for years, won't anymore.

I received a letter from the IRS stating that the SS taxable benefit was not calculated correctly. I contacted Turbo tax and was told that I had checked a box stating that I lived out of the country and that gave me a deduction. THAT IS A TOTAL FABRICATION. We all know that a worksheet must be included with a tax return when a deduction such as that is taken. I did not check any such box and if I did, I would have been required to indicate where I lived, how many months, did I earn income, etc. They have a software error and are blaming me.

I have used TurboTax for years. The customer service is iffy. I don't want my return online, but they kept trying to force me to do it online instead of being able to download it. When I was finally able to get the downloaded product, I was promised a "free audit defense" if I signed up for something with them, so I signed up. I have tried for weeks, on different browsers, at different times, to get it to work, and it never allows me to purchase the product--there is always an error message. I just spent a very long time on the phone with a Turbotax agent, and she said that they can't help you get the audit defense activated--and if they can't activate it by the end of the month, even if it is there fault, you just don't get it. Any help? No, just "we apologize for the inconvenience," and no help at all. So this was false advertising to get me to sign up for their product. I am going to look into what alternative product I can use next year.

I have used TurboTax for probably more than 15 years and have been very satisfied. The online purchase, download and installation of the product was as usual, very simple and straightforward. Updates to the software was also a very simple process. Completion of my tax return this year was significantly more complex than in past years and I found that the software was more confusing. The income earned by both myself and my wife, using "income sharing" was reported during the completion process as being greater than the sum of both of our incomes. After filing our income tax reports and paying our taxes, I noted that the amount payable by TurboTax did not match that reported in our Notice of Assessment by Revenue Canada. More tax was assessed by Revenue Canada. I'm no longer confident in the TurboTax software and will look for different software next year.

So I decided to use TurboTax this year instead of my accountant it cost exactly 1/2 of what my accountant cost. Disappointed to see that they charge $60 to file state tax, which is free in Utah. Next, I entered the pay date 4/14/25. However, the money was not posted to my account until the 16th, which is late of course and now results in a late fee. This is never happened to me with any other banking. To be fair. I’m not 100% certain if it was TurboTax or my bank, but nevertheless, not at all happy about it.

Filing taxes could be much easier for the average U.S. citizen. Each year Intuit lobbies the government to ensure this never happens. They want filing taxes to be difficult so busy citizens like you and I will use TurboTax. I cannot overemphasize how much I hate this company. They lock in consumers and continually pester them with ads to upgrade to their overpriced deluxe package.

I'm using TurboTax for few years and using part of home for business. This year, it did not do the calculation for the partial use of the home. I filed the taxes and noted the error.

I have been a TurboTax subscriber for nearly 20 years, with few complaints until now. Yesterday was the April 15th deadline, and I was just starting my taxes due to a delay in receiving a K-1. When I entered my initial info, TurboTax recommended I use the more expensive Live option, which provides you with live tax help if you need it. I didn't, but it would not allow me to select any other option, although it did promise I could change options before filing. So I went ahead with it. Big mistake.
After spending three hours filling out 4 tax forms (I have to file in 3 States), it would not allow me to change from the Live option, even though I had not used any live help. I tried everything, logging in and out, etc., but when I asked for help, the representative said there was nothing I could do, unless I wanted to delete my work and start over. He said he could try something if I allowed him access to my computer. Not! So I ended up filing my forms, since time was running out. When I inquired the next day about a partial refund, I was told there was nothing I could do. Nice going, TurboTax. All the business I've given you over 2 decades was not enough. You managed to wring an extra $100 out of me, but lost a loyal customer. What a lousy, greedy business model, killing the goose that laid the golden egg!

I was super annoyed that you guys REFUSE to let the customer know up front how much doing your taxes through Turbo tax will cost. The past few years I have really appreciated how easy it is to file through turbo tax. However letting a consumer get ALL THE WAY through doing their taxes online and THEN overcharging for them is UNACCCEPTABLE. Last year my taxes cost me $180.00 this year it cost me $300.00. Had I known it was going to be that much to file online with Turbo Tax. I would have called my Tax person and set up an appt to do it with them. That will be my plan next year. Sorry you lost a customer because YOU choose to not be UP FRONT about your costs.

AVOID this incompetent company. I used them on April 10, 2025. Their representatives gave me terrible advice and don't know anything about taxes. I drove to the Federal building and spoke directly to the IRS and they said Turbo Tax gave me bad advice on my tax situation. They must hire their reps off the street because they don't even know the basics about taxes.

My tax situation changes ever so slightly year to year. Our family income is Social Security and fixed annuities almost exclusively. Therefore it is a copy and paste job for our returns. Easy. TurboTax in the early part of the return process consistently estimated the charges would be about $250 using their “in person service”. When it was all finished the charges were close to $500. This was clearly a case of “bait and switch” tactics, evidencing bad faith on their part. I’m done with using them. Inexcusable.

I have been using TurboTax for years. There have always been some problems because they do not make things easy for some tasks. One thing that I have always had some trouble with was entering my backdoor Roth conversion from my traditional IRA. This year, they have made this process worse. I had my 1099-R form downloaded from my brokerage account. But in the process, they asked me to delete the entries because they need to process it with two separate 1099-R forms, one for the withdrawal from the traditional IRA and one for the conversion to Roth. So, I deleted the downloaded entry.
However, when I followed the new process, it led me to the same place where they asked me to delete the entry and restart with two 1099-R forms. Essentially, it went in circles and never got me out of there. This was very frustrating. I was tired of reentering the same info again and again. So, at one point, I went to my brokerage account and just redownloaded the 1099-R form. Unfortunately, this led to wiping out all my earlier entries from that brokerage account. Worse yet, there seemed no way to reverse the process, and I had to restart everything from the beginning--such a waste of my time! I feel this software is designed by a group of morons. I will definitely try another tax software next year.

I tried to use Turbotax for my taxes this year. When the forms were completed it stated I was all done and to submit the payment, which I did. AFTER the payment was submitted Turbotax showed the forms had errors. I corrected the errors and it kept looping me back to the same errors which did not show my changes. I signed out and tried several more times but got nowhere. I ended up going to a tax preparer. I emailed support to request a refund. They denied me.
I am 60 years old on a pension. I could not afford to lose the $137.51 I paid them on top of having to pay the tax preparer. I am a senior and feel defrauded and scammed. It's very convenient for Turbotax to show errors on a return AFTER they are paid. Otherwise I would not have paid them. Also, their software would not accept the changes I made, the original input never changed. Turbotax has a refund policy but does NOT stand behind it.

I paid $700 for the "Full Service" option because I was advised by the "professional" through TurboTax Live that the do-it-yourself product did not have the capability to file the appropriate form to capture a Roth Conversion. Turns out this is false. So $700 later, I had to get my financial advisor to walk the "tax professional" through how to do a Roth Conversion (this was after she skipped 2 appointments, with me and my advisor sitting around waiting for an hour before we gave up) and she still only did it half right, leading to a significant error in reported income that I will now have to have another incompetent "tax professional" file an amendment for. This is assuming I can get one to answer the chat that they are supposed to utilize for communication, as I've currently been ignored for a full week.
So I called the help line, who scheduled an appointment for 10 April with a Manager. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when they didn't call as scheduled. Absolutely atrocious customer service, competence, and experience. I have been a Turbotax customer for years using the self-service products, however next year I'll do mine on runic papyrus rather than support this company again.

I have been using the online version of TurboTax and paying for it to do my taxes for years. This year, I made a couple of minor adjustments to my federal return, but they were not reflected in my state return. After paying to e-file my returns, an error check caught the mistake. However, the box was grayed out/disabled, and I'm unable to change it to reflect what I entered on the federal return. I'm also unable to go back and file by mail either. It says I already paid to have my returns e-filed. So, I can't go forward and e-file and can't go back and file by mail.

Very dissatisfied. 1. They didn't say that you would have to buy individual State returns at $55. I think it is a deceptive trade practice. 2. Then in Texas, you can’t send the return electronically because Turbotax uses the prior years “Revenue” as the validation. Unfortunately, the State eliminated the filing of the form that provides that number when you don't have a tax liability. For $55 it should have resolved this since the law changed 2 years ago.

Greetings Everyone! I cannot believe that Turbo Tax operates in such a mediocre way. My mother's tax return is not that complicated. Turbo tax did not allow her to review the forms until she paid, and turbo tax filed it to the IRS. Well, we did exactly that and now... after filing it their way, I found three errors in the filing. I tried to call since April 4th to correct the errors that turbo tax committed and until now April 7th, I am still trying to find the original "tax expert" to send the amendments.
This is getting beyond frustration, and I am worried that the IRS will give us trouble. From now on, I am going to do my own taxes!! I cannot recommend Turbo Tax whatsoever due to their: carelessness filling out forms, inability by the customer to review forms before sending them to the IRS, horrible customer service who cannot find a solution to the easy problem to fix, and unwillingness to cooperate with their clients to solve the issue at hand. I made a huge mistake by using Turbo Tax services!! Don't you dare people to use Turbo Tax.!!!

Constantly finding tricky ways to add stuff to your cart. Pretend to give "full satisfaction guarantee", but refuses to do refunds, even if return is rejected by the IRS. If you have anything additional besides basic W-2, they start adding on hundreds of dollars to your expense. I had an 800 dollar return and Turbo Tax wanted over 125$ of it.

Used for 2024 after a 2 year break; coming back to what I remembered as being an easier experience. It's like a different product and user experience now -*not* for the better. Problem 1: I have a lot of itemized deductions and TT requires information that it doesn't put onto any form. Problem 2: My spouse started SS this year. TT defaults to 1040-SR (no Itemized deductions). No way to change it. Problem 3: "Customer service" is via AI assist - which has a very limited repertoire. Very aggravating. After 30 minutes yelling "no" and "agent please" at a machine repeating its canned responses finally got a live agent. Problem 4: Agent 1 sent me a BLANK 1040 to use for a manual filing that I was supposed to fill in myself?!? What did I pay for again?
Called back, another 30 minutes with the AI, and final got a 2nd agent; same solution. So I asked for a refund. I had to correct them on the issue several times and do not know what they actually put in for the reason for refund. Refund refused: "TurboTax Online can be used at no cost up until the point that you submit payment. Once payment has been received, the product is considered to have been used to prepare your taxes, regardless of whether you print or electronically file your return, or if it's rejected."

First, Turbo Tax Premier 2024 has operating errors. I receive 1099R income which is non-taxable. Turbo Tax Premier will not accept $0.00 in line 2 for the taxable amount. Thus, it would not allow me to file my taxes. I got Turbo Tax technical assistance. After stating the software was not operating properly, the agent instructed me leave line 2 blank.
After doing so, the Turbo Tax analysis showed no errors and allowed me to file my taxes. However, after doing so, I realized that while line 2 was blank, Turbo Tax reported the full distribution as taxable income resulting in my taxes being $2836 higher than I owe and my having to manually file an amended tax return, which required additional hours of my time. Second, because of the Turbo Tax error, I requested a refund from Turbo Tax.

There was not a way to move forward this year until you "tried assisted for free". I didn't want nor need assisted services. At the end of the process, I was charged at least $70.00 more than I should have for assisted services. I was so ANGRY that I tried to chat, to no avail.
I figured if I am getting charged for assisted then I'll have an agent call me so I can tell them exactly what I think of their scummy technique of getting more money out of people in the end. No surprise ... And error message popped up stating, "We hit a snag. We know this isn't ideal but try again or come back later." What a joke. I'm going to file a complaint with American Express for fraudulent charges. I'm willing to pay for what I owe, but no more.

I used to use TurboTax every year, but they force me to upgrade from the free version to a paid version to enter a single T5. My income is too low to pay income tax and my returns are extremely simple with no help required. Having to pay a $21 + tax fee to "upgrade" is completely unnecessary. I switched to a competitor this year and was able to easily file my return for free. Don't waste your money on TurboTax if your returns are simple.

It was all chat and phone calls and the people that called me were rude and didn’t answer my questions properly! Also, I imported my ItsDeductible information and at the end when I’m e-filing and I already paid them money then they tell me that my information didn’t go in on ItsDeductible and they want me to put in all the information on the worksheets! Unbelievable! I already paid them almost $300 and then they tell me the worksheets are made out for my federal return for my charitable deductions! It’s Dedutible IS THEIR FREAKING SOFTWARE!
While I was preparing my federal return, they told me they imported it and then at the end after I paid and then there’s no more live hell because they’re closed and now my tax return is not filed because they expect me to put in all that information by hand, AGAIN!!! I swear to God I will never use TurboTax again, they suck! Their live help was terrible and I spent more money for that because I thought it was going to be helpful but it was not!

Have used TurboTax for years as I have a relatively simple tax return for federal and state. This year after completely finishing my return with them and trying to sign off, it prompted me that I had to “upgrade to the $199 TurboTax premium” over a capital loss carryover form which in previous years has never caused this. They wait until you finish your taxes and then prompt you that you have to upgrade to this or cannot continue. After researching online, this looks like I am joining the thousands migrating away from this garbage company trying to cash grab from return customers. See ya, scammers.

TurboTax was great like 10 years ago. It feels it stuck in old times. It's slow and it feels it's getting slower and slower as you add data. If you are into investing and try to add 1099-B manually it takes literally forever as you navigate through ever so helpful prompts. If you try to import from broker, that works, but now Turbotax decides to skip creating 8949 sometimes. Good luck trying to verify anything. Oh, and navigating from calculated number to data source is the worst I've ever used (TaxAct, H&R block). We ended up having a correct entry in 8949 that we could not find in 1099-b (spent hours).

I am a long-time TurboTax user. Changes in TT software over the years make me question whether I need to find an alternate tax preparation solution. When I first began using TurboTax, years ago, I was very pleased as I have a somewhat complicated tax return that has included 2 working spouses, various sources of income (e.g., bank account interest, rental income, capital gains), and quite a few charitable deductions. The input of data benefited from carryover of data from the previous years, which saved a lot of time. The TT forms were relatively consistent for some time. But - In the last 5 years, I have found some pretty substantial changes in data entry, to the point that I can’t find, without consulting a customer service rep, how to enter something as simple as sale of a small piece of land.
At the same time, input of a cryptocurrency transaction seems to be readily available. (Not sure how many people are into crypto as opposed to selling their house or land.) I’ve also run into a massive problem in accessing + printing tax forms from prior years. In the case of foreign taxes paid on capital gains, a small but powerful credit against taxes due, it could not be more difficult on a relatively simple issue. (The new AI assistant recognized that this is a problem area, but I found that it had not been fixed.)
Finally, problems with entry of data on an RMD (an IRA issue) resulted in the miscalculation of taxes due on my return. This problem was not found in the TT expert review, but only when I questioned the inclusion of an unusual IRS form on my return, I found the problem myself of inclusion as income of a QCD (charitable contribution / non-taxable income that should’ve been excluded from income). And other problems too complicated to list in a general purpose review. Estimated time to complete my return - under 2 hours. Actual online time to complete my federal return - roughly 16 hours. That’s roughly 3-4 hours per day over 5 days. I call taxes the price of civilization, as I see countries with huge problems with tax evasion paying the price in failed infrastructure and other problems. I have a lot of other things to do with my life, other than struggling with hostile, complicated software.

There are many options to prepare and file your Tax Returns, so, stay clear from TurboTax - They charge you over $280.00 before your taxes have been actually e-filed, and when they fail to deliver, they refuse to give you a reimbursement. The only value this or any other Tax Return preparation service has to offer nowadays is E-Filing. However, their software is not well integrated with the IRS Systems, producing constant errors that will likely prevent you from e-filing and forcing you to send your Tax Returns by snail mail.
And they will deny you a refund, using the most silly and opportunistic excuses, as if they had provided you with knowledge and support that was not readily available at no cost all over the internet. It is a total scam, not worth it anybody's time or money. Last year (2024, filing for FY2023) we used TurboTax for a first time, and due to an error when typing the Total Gross Income for FY2022, the Tax Returns were rejected...TWELVE times! And twelve times we tried to correct them, working with their so called experts, only to see them rejected time and again.
We ended up sending them by mail and paying a fine to the IRS for submitting our returns late. This year we faced a similar problem though our numbers were correct and verified from the start with the IRS Transcripts in hand. They tried to have us take the same road, improvising answers and repeating no-solutions over and over. We ended up having to print them and sending them by snail mail again. Their integrations with the IRS system are simply broken, e-filing is not possible and they won't admit it, but they will take your money.

I asked for a supervisor and informed them I would start over with another tax prep program in not provided a full refund for the Expert required upgrade. Ultimately, they did refund the $94 and the $69 upgrade was also removed by me manually removing the charges on the left hand side of the screen. Turbotax adds new sneaky fees each year, Last year customer were required to decline upgrades a minimum or 50 times while preparing your taxes.

I find it interesting that even though I had received a text saying that my "federal return was accepted" the IRS does not even have my return listed or any payment activity listed.

TurboTax Home & Business Canada has made a troubling change this year by requiring all users to store their private and sensitive information in its online database as a condition of using the software. I purchased this product for $149, expecting—as I’ve done for years—to download it, work offline on my desktop, and keep my data secure and private. Instead, I discovered that even with the desktop version, I’m forced to create a TurboTax account, sign in, and upload my financial details to their servers just to use what I’ve already paid for. This feels like a betrayal of trust and a blatant cash grab—especially since the price seems inflated for self-employed contractors like me, who don’t need the 12 returns it bundles.
What’s worse, there’s no way around it: even the so-called downloadable version won’t function without linking to their online system, where all my personal data is stored—data I assumed would stay local on my computer. Why does TurboTax suddenly require access to my highly sensitive information in their database?

Recently, I have been inundated with calls and emails from TurboTax to file again. I was then 'matched' with a 'tax professional' but then discovered - despite an advertisement in one of their emails - that I would not be able to meet this individual locally to discuss or physically drop off paperwork.
I ended the chat and also responded to a survey to explain why I would be taking my business elsewhere, but am still receiving numerous emails and calls from this woman at TurboTax. I want these calls to immediately cease. I have filed with them not agreed to do so. I plan on taking my taxes to a reputable business and not one as deceptive as the Intuit service.

Intuit/Turbotax is a very dishonest company. Somehow they have stolen my identity and in two consecutive fake orders they charged one of my credit cards with products valued at $440. At no point have I been an Intuit/turbotax customer, ordered any products from them, or give them my personal and credit card information. Will be reported to every Consumer Agency possible.

I have used TurboTax for a number of years, the big complaint I have is when you have need for assistance. If you don't pay the extra 60 dollars (2025 cost) the people you talk to have almost no experience not just with taxes but with Turbotax itself. I wanted to know where turbotax pulled a number from, that seemed like a product question but was told it was a tax question. I talked to 2 people, and they had no idea. After 2 hours on the phone I gave up, I was told I would be contacted by a manager, but I was not.

I filed through TurboTax last year, which went fine but was relatively expensive. I went to file again this year and was charged $179 before I even finished filing, which was way more than last year. Once I saw the final price (which wasn't provided until after the process was nearly finished), I decided to use a free IRS provided website instead. After using the IRS website (TaxSlayer), I had a much more user-friendly time AND noticed discrepancies in the TurboTax filing. I learned that I actually owed $64, not $1, which is what TurboTax was about to submit.
I dealt with 5 or 6 different representatives over the course of a week working on a refund. One of the representatives actually TOLD me that "They don't decline requests from 'us,'" referring to the refund request that the representative was submitting for me. The request the representative submitted was denied, of course, and I was not able to confirm with anyone as to why until almost two weeks after the initial charge.
The refund request was declined three separate times before I attempted to reach someone higher up the ladder. When I finally got them to let me talk to someone higher up, after several hang-ups and false promises, I was given $50 in compensation. Note that I never officially filed through TurboTax nor used any of the information from the filing process in TurboTax to assist me in any way.
I have a very simple tax return, as I am a 20-year-old college student with minimal income, so I find the lack of clarity and misleading "options" to be very misrepresentative of the services being provided. I do not recommend TurboTax to anyone who could better spend their time and money figuring out how to file through a website off the IRS page.

Lost Returns and Extra Fees 0 help. I have used TurboTax every year, but this was a disaster, and I feel robbed. My refund was supposed to have been received February 5th. It is March 4th today. TurboTax took my payment for the IRS out of my account. The IRS never received it. I got a letter from the IRS after TurboTax had already said my state was accepted. I paid a second time directly to the IRS. I got an email from TurboTax that I had received my refund when I had not, and this was prior to an email on February 24th saying my state return was accepted. It is March 4th today, the state has not received my return. I used the free version to file both. $80 was charged to my account for the services, and I was emailed a receipt. TurboTax has responded to reviews during this issue, however has not responded to a single email or phone call. They absolutely do not back their guarantee.
I have not received my tax return they state I received on February 5th. The state has not received my return they claim they filed January 8th. In the meantime, as soon as I filed with TurboTax, my bank account was compromised with fraud costing me an arm and a leg, which could not be quickly resolved as they were using my account and routing numbers. I had to close it the following month. This NEEDS to be a lawsuit.

I have been using desktop version for years and mistakenly used the online version in 2023. The 2023 online version allowed for the transfer of 2022 desktop information. For 2024 went back to desktop version. However, going back to 2024 desktop version you are not able to retrieve information from the 2023 online version. You will need to continue with the online version or start the 2024 tax returns from scratch. Very deceptive selling practice. This will take much more time to complete a return unless you stay with their online version and start paying more per return. There was no indication that the versions were not compatible and once you go online you can't go back without a lot of work and you lose the ability to compare previous year's tax returns.

Line 2 should be 260 which will result in Line 3 being 100%: 2/3*100. That should result in full refund as a non-resident. But it shows line 2 to be 0 in which case line 3 is also 0 and therefore no refund.
Since I worked remote, and never was in Kansas City, MO, I am due for a full refund of the taxes withheld.

The TurboTax 2024 website has left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. The layout is confusing, with menus and options that seem to loop back on themselves, making it difficult to navigate or find straightforward answers. Instead of offering clarity, the site feels overly geared toward pushing users into their online software, often at the expense of offering clear, standalone guidance.
The content is repetitive, with the same messages about upgrading or adding services popping up in multiple sections, creating a sense of being constantly upsold rather than supported. Key information about filing processes or product differences is often buried under layers of marketing jargon, leaving users to sift through unnecessary details to find what they actually need.
Overall, the website feels more like a sales funnel than a helpful resource, which can be incredibly off-putting for those just trying to file their taxes efficiently. TurboTax could do much better by streamlining their site, focusing on clarity, and prioritizing user needs over constant sales pitches. It feels like the web content has been modified by DEI hires that have no clue how to present a clear descriptive solution to its customers.

I will never use TurboTax again, or any of its inexperienced, dishonest reps.

This company CONTINUES to rip off hard working people. They mislead with their "free" ads and when you are finished with your return you find they have added on fees that you never agreed to. How they continue to be allowed to do this especially after being sued for misleading and stealing from customers before is beyond me. Their customer service is horrendous. I called and not only was yelled at but called names and hung up on. SHAMEFUL. DO NOT USE TURBO TAX.

Turbo Tax 23 admits having an error in the Oregon State tax software. They even sent a notice to Oregon filers saying the error was known and that if you contacted them at a given number they would refund $60 for the refiling effort. I happened to be one of the unfortunate people that used Turbo Tax to file my Oregon return and it had the error caught by the state of Oregon. Did as told and was put in contact with an agent who knew nothing about the issue, gave me a huge run around and wanted me to spend hours verifying something?? Not worth the effort for $60 so gave up. Turbo Tax is not all that user friendly to start with and every year it is a struggle. Hopefully can find some tax filing package next year from a reputable company.

I underpaid my estimated taxes for 2023 and owed a penalty. I hired full-service Turbotax to prepare my return, as I wanted to ensure it was completely correct. I owed an additional tax penalty on Line 38 due to not paying all my estimated tax payments during 2023. After it was filed, the IRS notified me via Form CP30A that the amount calculated as a penalty was not calculated correctly. Per Turbotax, I owed $1700, but per the IRS the actual amount owed was only $900. Essentially Turbotax would have cost me an extra $800 if not caught by the IRS. I pointed this out to Turbotax, they were UNABLE to explain why the error occurred and were particularly UNHELPFUL in pointing me to how I could request a refund of my tax prep fee. Bottom line: 1) Inaccurate return which they didn't stand behind. 2) Terrible customer service.

I've used TurboTax for 10 years. This year I made a mistake using them and electing to have the fees taking out of my return. Apparently turbotax uses a very unreliable source as a third party. Santa barbara tax product group. They have took my return taken the fees out of my return. And have refused to give me my return. I filed in February. It is now the end of May. And I still have not got my return. The IRS told me to tell them not to mail it back to them and that they needed to send me the return directly. They have refused to do so even knowing. The Irs said that they would not send my return back out again because the check was cashed and they would have to send the exact amount back. I will never USE TURBOTAX AGAIN!!!!

TurboTax's Oregon Tax Return for 2023 is a nightmare. After filing, I received an email on May 6 stating, "Due to an error, TurboTax might not have selected the best deduction option (standard vs itemized) for you, resulting in a possible overpayment." A link in the email was helpful in getting started on amending the return, but it was all downhill once I got into TurboTax. I may have gone a roundabout route but relying on the state forms online seemed like my only sure recourse.
I found the correct schedule online and worked through the directions to realize a refund over $900 Ultimately, I learned that Turbotax had checked a box requesting that I take the standard deduction even if it were a lower amount than itemizing! That had wiped out all my itemized amounts and made it necessary to recreate them. All this required time to determine if an amended return would be worthwhile as well as considerable time floundering around to find a course of action, and finally, time to complete the amended return, sign, print it, weigh it, stamp it, and take it to the post office. There was no clear statement that I could not e-file, but looking for that option used up more time.
TurboTax's email says they are sending a $60 refund in 6-8 weeks, woefully and outrageously inadequate when they should have offered one of their experts to "do your taxes for you, start to finish." I find the language in their email disingenuous, too, when it is quite obvious that all of their customers' Oregon returns must have been botched. How many would choose to take a standard deduction when it was less than their itemized deductions? Another customer who wrote in TurboTax's Community forum stated that he could not get through on the help line and had an additional, expensive problem with TurboTax's computation of his Oregon Kicker. Finally, TurboTax sent me a single email, no text, no phone call, with a weakly stated caution, so how many customers have missed their opportunity to spend a whole afternoon fixing the company's mistakes?
