Reviews from TurboTax Live users*

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome as Ever!! This was the first year my wife and I filed as "married filing jointly". She has her own business and I have a lot of un-reimbursed business expenses. It took some effort but TurboTax is flexible enough that I feel confident the federal and state returns were done accurately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Continue to improve to a very good customer satisfaction. Very thoughtful on all kinds of situations. Almost glitch free.
Date published: 2018-10-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Allen walked me through the return step by step and did not seem to be bothered by my inability to find the numbers and documents. He held on for extended periods while I fumbled through mounds of unorganized papers and forms. Absolutely worth the cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reduced amount owed Cynthia was very helpful and patient. I will definitely use this service again next year

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Basket case Yes, I was a basket case trying to do our business taxes for 2017. I went for the Turbotax Live for the help that would be available. I was able to get through most of the return on my own, but whenever I had a question(which was several) I was able to get help and answers right at that time. When the return was completed, the EA reviewed the whole thing and I got the go ahead to file. Turbo tax Live will be my way from now on. I learned a lot from the CPA's and EA's, they were patient and sanity saving.
