Rated 1 out of 5 by from Full Service is not as Promised I had a horrible experience selecting FUll Service after filing an extension. I had hoped to have someone review my taxes in detail and help me ensure I had everything completed correctly and had maximized my savings. Long story short, they called me immediately upon filing my extension (after 12:30am), and when I said I wasn't ready to go through everything then and had filed the extension and requested help to review later. They ended the call and did not set up a return call time. They closed the service on me multiple times. In October when I called to finally finish it, they had closed the case completely and removed my account from any record of having selected the full service. One agent was able to get me set up again after hours of trying to find out what happened and right when I had everything set up and ready to file, needing to complete one final doc that I would have happily gone without, they yet again closed the entire order on me. This time that meant that they wiped out my entire tax order, all my documents, and then because of the timing, I was told that Full Service was no longer available and I had to file on my own after all. I might as well have just filed back in May at this point as I just had to do all of the entry and file without a full CPA review.

What do I need to get started?

You don't need anything but your email address to get started with TurboTax. Just answer a few simple questions and you're on your way.

You don't even need to have your W–2s or 1099s—we can import that information directly from more than a million participating employers and

With TurboTax Live, you get access to tax experts with an average of 11 years experience preparing tax returns. It’s like bringing the tax store to your
home computer.

Not only that—TurboTax always double-checks your return for errors as you go, and before you file your taxes. We also guarantee our calculations are 100% accurate, or we'll pay you any IRS penalties plus interest.
