Rated 4 out of 5 by Grandmother of 2 from Economic Impact Recovery Credit In Step-by-step, Turbo tax only accounted for $1400 (1 person not including dependent). I had to go to Forms and enter there. Then it corrected itself. I'm completing forms for my grandson and my son.

Rated 3 out of 5 by IAmTheMom from It's no better than the Free. I like the ease of the screens and popup info. When it came to explaining why I couldnt use the free edition the explanation wasn't clear. I had used the standard deduction and the only difference was Unemployment.

Rated 2 out of 5 by 5 Year User from What a confusing and expensive journey! I have used TurboTax for five years and every year I am more and more confused. I hit a wall with the third stimulus check and the website was unclear so I spent too much time on the IRS website trying to double check my third payment all to find what I was looking for after 30 minutes because the wording of the website was hard to understand as a user. Additionally, getting charged for paying for TurboTax from my federal return is a slap in the face for a person who is already barely making it financially. This was a confusing and expensive journey!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rapharez from Very User Friendly I was dreading the use of an online Tax Preparer because I felt that in past years, I was not getting informed about every possible tax break. With Turbo Tax, I always felt like the software was very intuitive to my needs. And I also had LIVE Help to assist me if I got stuck. I'd recommend it highly!

Date published: 2022-03-13

Rated 2 out of 5 by tarobbs from TurboTax is frustrating I would assume that for the average person Turbotax it great, for me with retirement income form a foreign country it is very frustrating. Last 2 years have been problematic. This year with late delivery of Form 1116/1116B my filing has been delayed by 1 month.
