Biggest refund in Years, Best Choice for Filing

"I used TaxAct for the last two years and felt that my refund amount could have been more. I promised myself that after last year's filing, I would try a different filing software. I am so glad that I used TurboTax because I have been missing out on getting the most out of my refund. The amount in this year's filing made it all worth it. I will be using TurboTax from now on."

Very impressed this year

"I've used both TurboTax and TaxAct over the past few years, and this year's version of TurboTax was the best of the best. I am genuinely impressed."

TurboTax easy

"I'm so glad that my sister recommended TurboTax to me. I have been with you guys for about 3 years now and it's been a easy going process and seems to get easier every time. I will never go back to TaxAct or HR Block."

GREAT HELP!!

"So much easier and less expensive compared to its competitor TaxAct. I used TaxAct last year and I will never go back to it! I love TurboTax!"

LazandMommy, Pennsylvania

2021 TurboTax Online Deluxe

Turbo Tax is accurate and easy to navigate.

"I did my taxes with Tax Act, originally, but found it was incorrect when I tried Turbo Tax. I was getting a refund from State on Tax Act, which was the Homestead Property Tax Credit, which I found I was not eligible for on Turbo Tax. Glad I found this out before filing."

2021 TurboTax Online Free Edition

Turbo Tax is Awesome!!!

"I love the simplicity Turbo Tax, I tried Tax Act once years ago when Turbo Tax sold out at my local Best Buy; and Tax Act was just too difficult for a layperson to use. I am so glad that I can know just download a copy of Turbo Tax and never have to be bothered with Tax Act again."

Turbo Tax was great!

"We have been using TaxAct for years, and it was messed up this year! It kept making our stimulus taxable income. We came over to TurboTax, and it was a very easy and great experience. We will be using TurboTax from now on!"

2021 TurboTax Online Deluxe

Amazingly easy & very througho

"This is my first time using TurboTax. I normally use TaxAct. I absolutely will start using TurboTax to file my taxes from now on. This was incredibly easy and they asked me more questions than TaxAct did."

JS6987, Missouri

2021 TurboTax Online Free Edition

Easy Peasy

"I was able to navigate the online version seamlessly compared to TaxAct which I've used for many years. I chose TurboTax because I could not get past the generic responses from their agents."

MoMunnie, Georgia

2021 TurboTax Online Deluxe

Excellent!

"This was very fast and easy to use, as well as very inexpensive. I used TaxAct before this, but it was getting expensive. So I decided to give TurboTax a try, and it was EXCELLENT! I will be using this service from now on, and will recommend it to everyone."

You are amazing.

"I have filed taxes for years with TaxAct, but your software was, by and large, easier to use! I am so glad to have finally joined TurboTax."

Todd, Tennessee

2022 TurboTax Live Assisted Basic

Great!

"I had a very easy breezy time filing this year. I usually use TaxAct and they are having issues syncing with Fidelity so I chose TurboTax. I may stick with them from now on after this. Bruce helped me along the way in the chat. I had one question and was ready to close out but he said he could stay. He was very quick with responding to questions and taking me through steps to add things I almost forgot until the end. 10000/10"

Amber413, Alabama

Great experience with TurboTax

"TurboTax was super easy to use and made filing this year so much smoother. I've used TaxAct Online for previous returns, but this was so much easier and very user-friendly."

2021 TurboTax Live Assisted Deluxe

Wow, I loved it

"I typically use TaxAct every year, but I heard great experiences from people using TurboTax, so I decided to use you this year. 100% no regrets. It was fast, simple, and easy."

Emisj, Indiana

2021 TurboTax Live Assisted Basic

Turbo Tax was Amazing!

"It is really easy to navigate this website and ask questions. I used TaxAct before, but now that I tried TurboTax, it was just awesome and an entirely improved experience. Nice job, and thanks, TurboTax! See you next year!"

A lot easier than tax act

"It was a good experience. A lot easier than TaxAct."

Turbo Tax Never Disappoints

"I use TurboTax every year. I have never been disappointed. I have been using them for years. I went from using Tax Act to TurboTax and haven't switched back. I even compare my taxes with TurboTax and Tax Act, and i definitely was getting my full max refund with TurboTax. I dislike that I feel the fees is always increasing and im always having to pay for some kind of package. I have never been charged to have money sent to my own bank account, but this year I was. I shouldn't be charged extra to have my money sent elsewhere and not something of there choice. Other then that TurboTax is the way to go."

JazzyJazz12, Ohio

2021 TurboTax Live Assisted Deluxe

My best option

"I'm retired and do simple, e-filed joint returns for Federal and State, with some years itemized and some years standard deduction. I left TurboTax a decade ago for others and tried TaxAct, H&R Block, IRS Direct File, and others because the cost was quite a bit cheaper. But they all seemed to have problems. One was so bad it wouldn't accept my 1099 because my withheld amount wasn't greater than my income, and they wouldn't respond to inquiries. Crazy. But I came back a couple of years ago. TurboTax is the daddy of all those others and has come a long way from the early days. It's worth the little extra cost for a smooth and reliable process. They've really become good at recognizing my situation and not asking questions that apply to 3 people in the whole country. I am a very happy customer."

In the Net, California

2022 TurboTax Live Assisted Deluxe

It's okay and easy to use

"Turbo tax has always been easy to use. We have used it for 8+ years now however, the fees have gone up every year. Federal use to be free and state $39 or $49 now they charge you $39-$59 for federal another $39-$59 for state and $39 to get it as direct deposit. Sometimes you think it might be better to go to a tax professional to file it. Last year I got charged more than normal as well and almost went to tax act. We will see what we do next year depending on price again."

Anony91, Ohio

2021 TurboTax Online Deluxe

Turbo Tax is expensive and does ok

"I've seen better prices, and the final check and review, including by human beings, wasn't enough to keep it from being rejected by the IRS. I may try TaxAct next time. It can't be worse and it's less expensive."

Solrpwd, Tennessee

2022 TurboTax Live Assisted Deluxe

TurboTax is expensive

"I like TurboTax. But I love FREE! Last year I had to go with TaxAct due to the cost of filing on TurboTax. This year I thought I would check it out, but I was disappointed with all the fees and add-ons."

Riajab, Illinois

2022 TurboTax Live Assisted Premium

I am surprised how much Loyalty matters

"I rated fair because it is fair. I came to TurboTax over the years due to my taxes being so simple. I would rather just do them myself, as I only input one W2 that uploads automatically and I input the amount from unemployment without changing anything else because everything is already saved because I have used TurboTax for years. There are no discount fees for loyal customers! I was going to submit on TaxAct because it was cheaper, but I'm in a hurry. I will know for next year. TurboTax, give us loyal customers a break, please."

Jess_88, Louisiana

2021 TurboTax Live Assisted Deluxe

some good some bad

"I only used TurboTax to get a discount and to get my sister a $25 gift card for the referral. We got neither. I had to search the internet for contact information and waited a long time to talk to someone who tried hard to resolve this and failed. I could have used my usual (TaxAct) and got it done cheaper and faster."

mykman216, Illinois

2022 TurboTax Premium

Inflation Sucks

"I have been a Turbo Tax user for almost my whole adulthood. I understand taxes and income (theoretically) increase. However, the price to file is crazy high. TurboTax is also intense with asking you to upgrade, but they never give the option to downgrade. My taxes are not that difficult for me to understand, and I have thought about going to TaxAct or another company to file. However, I try to keep my annual documents in one place. It is just easier for future tax years."

Katiekay333, Minnesota

2022 TurboTax Online Deluxe

Turbo-Tax is getting costly

"Although the TurboTax software is great and makes filing easy, it has become too expensive to file. There are hidden fees and too much time to get a refund. Next year, I will use TaxAct."

tlr2112, Ohio

2021 TurboTax Online Deluxe

Was better filing through Credit Karma previously!

"I filed taxes through Credit Karma from 2019-2021. It was awesome. If you needed last year's figures, you could find it. This year, I filed through Credit Karma again. You try something simple, like finding last year's figures to get your AGI (line 11) information, and it tells you "that information isn't available because you didn't file with TurboTax last year!" I know, but I did file through Credit Karm and I'm in the Credit Karma app but it wouldn't give me any of 2021's information. It seemed to create two TurboTax accounts, which it wanted me to sign into. When I want a code sent to my phone to sign in, it gives me an "Access is Denied" error constantly. The whole experience was very frustrating, and it cost me more money this time to file my taxes than last year. I think next year I'll go to TaxAct or something. It's going to be frustrating starting new with them, but it's worth a try after the frustration I had dealing with tonight's filing."

Ryiekyrsjtrs, South Carolina

EXTRA CHARGES

"I was not happy about the extra charges imposed. I tried TurboTax this year because of the fees with TaxAct that I was unhappy with."

Beth1122, New Hampshire

2021 TurboTax Live Assisted Deluxe

TurboTax cost way more than HRBlock and TaxAct

"Upsale is always prompting to pay more when you don't need it."

Not a TurboTax fan, Minnesota

2021 TurboTax Live Assisted Deluxe

Turbo Tax Sucks Now

"Turbo Tax used to help so much with my taxes and now they took most of my return just so I can file this year. Charging me 3 fees just to insert my unemployment form and now I will be barely getting any money back because Turbo Tax charged me over $100. Cant they tell from my salary information that I can't afford that? I don't know why they changed their policy, but it was a dumb decision for them to make because I'm using Tax Act next year! Get your priorities straight Turbo Tax, you guys lost a lot of loyal users this years because you decided to be greedy."
