Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible - Makes Incorrect Deduction Recommations First, the application makes incorrect recommendations in certain situations that causes penalties on their tax obligation. Example: suggested I open IRA to reduce tax burden for 2020 taxes. Followed their instructions within the product, after which I had a penalty added for 2020 because of AGI levels. So I cancelled the IRA within 24 hours but this year I'm hit again with a penalty for early withdrawals. The whole purpose of using Turbotax instead is to not need a tax accountant. I expect the suggestions and guidance to be accurate based on the data the tool has available. Second, this product routinely suggests users follow step-by-step process for deductions they do not qualify. This causes a huge waste of time for users entering data then being told "You do not qualify for this deduction". The application should be built to tell the user upfront, they do not qualify. Example: Eduction expeses -- the application should have the rules to check the requirements BEFORE suggesting the user enter this information. Other examples include married couples with student loan interest when AGI is over a certain amount. I will NOT be using this product going forward.
