Rated 1 out of 5 by from Turbo Tax has gotten worse, not better. I had multiple documents to upload and was interrupted during the process of uploading them. There was no way to easily go back and see which documents had been uploaded. Also, it was not possible to see the data from those documents. Terrible experience trying to find how to do that through the chat and the person helping. When selecting filing, it tried to have me open a Credit Karma debit card rather than use an existing bank account - shameful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from TurboTax is awesome! I was really worried about my tax return, but Kristen M. helped me file and get money back, by maxing my deductions even though I was really worried about breaking even. Without her help, I wouldn't have claimed everything that allowed me to get my refund! Thank you Kristen M. and TurboTax!
