TurboTax Review Is It a Scam
TurboTax.com is very good and trusted online tax company with a good track record to do your taxes. Personally i don’t use them but from my research reading and hearing testimonials from actual customers. I have to conclude the TurboTax is probably one of the best online tax company.
If TurboTax Is such a good company why don’t I use them
Although there is no complaints about Turbo Tax there is one problem. Turbo Tax is expensive before signing up with Turbo Tax be sure to read on the fees associated with the product it could be updated at the time your reading this post but make sure you read that fine print it can be tricky at times.
About online software and Doing Your Taxes Online
Most of The internet tax software’s are usually built around the normal man or woman with a regular 9 – 5 job, if you have a 9 – 5 job but you also have something else on the side again I don’t recommend using the software because you might be setting your self up for trouble or future problems. Of course this will not happen if your smart and fill in the information correctly, but there have been some general complaints about online tax software. Many times it’s because the person didn’t fill out the information correctly, but at times although never proven it could have been because of the software. Nothing to be worried about i’m putting that out there just for awareness purposes.
Why Don’t I Use TurboTax Software
Because i have some basic understanding of income taxes i find TurboTax to be a bit expensive, i’m not saying the service is not worth the money i’m saying i can do my taxes with my eyes closed(not recommended) so personally i wouldn’t spend so much money on Turbo Tax. I actually just bought a condo and from a recommendation from my sister (the accountant)I am using H&R Block
Does Turbo Tax have a FREE feature
Yes and No it actually costs $19.99 and up depending on what service you choose, For the price it’s still a good deal because you will be getting an expert opinion If you have complicated tax issues you wouldn’t qualify for this service or you would probably be recommended to higher level of service. All in all TurboTax.com is a good service especially if this is your first time using an online company to do your taxes
Turbo tax is a SCAM!! When you google “Free Edition” Turbo Tax, an option will come up for free filing is linked to Intuit.com. Once you click on this site, it automatically reroutes you to Turbotax.com. You’re under the impression that you are in the free edition web site, when actually, you have been rerouted to the edition where you have to pay $19.99 just to use the program and then you are charged an addtional amount for the number of states you are filing for. This happened to me when I went to file my son’s income tax. He was getting back less than $225.00, but I ended up paying $93.85 just to file for him. Rip-off city. Be aware!! I’ll go with Taxact next year.
I’ve used Turbotax for 3 years with no problems until this year when I chose to get my refund on their refund card and now I have been unable to access my $$$ for 2 days cause their system is “down” and my rents due!! I just can’t believe being unable to access my $$ for 2 days and the customer service people are rude and just keep saying I should be able to use my card “momentarily”!!! WILL NEVER USE TURBO TAX AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another new trick they’ve impleneted this year is they will charge you up front to file your Federal and State even if you ask to only file one. They “claim” they tell you twice they do this, but they do not. They ask for authorization for the Federal then BAM you get confirmation you paid for both!
I just got scammed and Turbo Tax has no intention of taking responsibility for their deceptive advertising and adding charges for things you do not want….like e filing State Taxes. They automatically do it to the tune of $20. I called about the price I was charged and they said they change the prices from time to time even after the start of your filing. I signed on for the Deluxe filing at $29.95 and I ended up with $92.86 in charges for Federal and State. No fee was given for State, only to e file it.
I have used Turbo Tax yearly and this will be the first and last time I have to go through this.
Have no idea of precisely how I get pulled in to looking at all these kinds of opinions, but it is obviously very good to find out that individuals can make them in the first place. So I appreciate the read and continue writing, I might get motivated to do exactly the same someday.
