Thanks so much for lobbying to get the free Direct File cancelled and for forcing Americans to pay you instead. Your software is fine, but your practices and honesty with your customers is criminal and insulting. You all are a drain on the economy of America and are making life harder for anyone simply trying to follow the law.
Well I used this service last year for free ... came back this year and it starts off saying it can be free ... then forces promp after promp asking if u want this service or that along the way so they can try to get more and more for literally nothing... cost me 90 dollars for something that was FREE last year ... why is there a cost now ... and that's the lowest cost I could possibly pay to have this garbage done ... if I had accepted all the nonsense promps along the way im sure it would have cost me hundreds more ... I accidentally clicked yes on one of them and it was an additional 40 dollars FOR NOTHING... Why would I pay that? Absolute stupidity and if this is how it is going forward I will be going elsewhere
I was having trouble with correcting my address. Also my phone number on my file and Mitchell stepped up and did his part spoke with a representative prior to Mitchell. He did not show any interest. Thank you so much for having someone like Mitchell a part of your team.
Very easy to use. Set up from previous year entry - then edit for current year totals. All preliminary information carried over so don't have to reenter. Categories set up and all that was needed to enter new values. All that was maybe missing is suggestions for anything I may have missed - though probably not needed in my case.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We're glad we were able to help you slay your taxes this year!
Thanks for doing my taxes for a good price. You had everything I needed. You even had one state form that your biggest competitor did not have--Nice job. See you next year
I found for the most part the software was easy to use. Getting around for specific areas of my taxes was a bit hard at times. I find the pricing a bit high, almost $90 for federal and state which is the most I have ever spent. Most tax services have really raised prices.
It is very easy to navigate the process of filing return. My problem is being able to print a copy for my file.

Really expensive for nothing special
Really expensive for nothing special. Paying to do your taxes to pay more taxes is a cruel joke.
