After 25 years as a TurboTax customer, I AM DONE.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
After 25 years as a TurboTax customer, I AM DONE.

TurboTax Deluxe for 2023 has a bug that's preventing me from e-filing my taxes. Every time I try to file, a window pops up that says I can't claim the Energy Efficient Commercial Building credit on my Schedule C without a Form 7205, and that TurboTax doesn't support that form!

But I am NOT claiming that credit. Line 27b on the Schedule C, which asks for that form, is ZERO! Trying to communicate with Intuit's laughably mis-named "customer service" staff is impossible without ponying up more money. Online help?

A bad joke. Just robots parrotting back what you say, and trying to get you to sign up for a $55 a month service before you can even speak to a human being. Trying a phone call? That robot will say it can't find a record that I'm a customer, and hangs up on me.

Trying to log into the Intuit website as a customer? It claims my password -- which I just re-set weeks ago when I couldn't download the software without logging in -- is incorrect, even though they recognized my account well enough to email me a log-in code. Intuit used to be a good company.

But their greed and disregard for their customers -- whether using QuickBooks or TurboTax -- has gotten out of control. Absolutely the worst corporate "customer service" experience I've ever had -- and that's saying something.

Pros:
  • It allows you to import a lot of data from prior year returns
Cons:
  • Software bug blocks me from filing electronically

Preferred solution: Meaningful customer service so I can speak to a human about a bug in the software that is preventing me from filing my tax return

User's recommendation: Use ANY tax software, from any source, rather than entrust your finances to Intuit.

Owe Utah money because of their mistake

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I received an audit letter from the Utah state tax commission. It turns out TurboTax deducted something it should not have.

Now, I will owe money. TurboTax assumed that Qualified Retirement distributions are not taxed in Utah. They were completely wrong. Only in very specific cases they are not taxed.

TurboTax, by default, sets up the distribution as not taxed, and the page that shows the deduction says it is not taxed.

But that is not the case. It is only not taxed if taxes are already paid in another state.

TurboTax - TURBO TAX unauthorized transaction and charge to my credit card - Image 3

I was looking into turbo tax services

I wanted to do my taxes with them and added my credit card information, because I was ready to start and finish (wrong on my behalf)

I went through their website and (some) tax pages, but did not find what I was looking for compared to other tax service companies.

After I was done looking at their information, I closed everything and received a notification that my credit card was charged $129.

Everything and all tax pages were in blank, and I did not file anything with them.

I contacted their customer service with NO success (no response)

And they have no email to contact them. I filed for a refund but received an automatic response that it was non refundable

Once again.

I dile not file with them or authorize any transaction!! All pages were in blank!

They debited money right out of my checking account for 3 times what I payed. I spoke to them and was told the check was in the mail.

The check never came. Do not trust them to refund your money

Inaccurate charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
TurboTax - Inaccurate charges
TurboTax - Inaccurate charges - Image 2
TurboTax - Inaccurate charges - Image 3

For years, my husband and I have filed with TurboTax or it's partner sites. Typically, the cost is $39-ish for State and about the same for Federal because we have nothing more than W-2's and basic filing needs.

It usually comes out to be around $80. This year, I started filing on my laptop and finished filing on my phone. Having no idea there is a difference in platforms and how the process looks as you go through each section, I apparently accepted a Deluxe package when finalizing things on my phone. I had NO idea.

I declined the Deluxe and Max at least once when I started on my laptop as we have never needed it. With needing to file because the deadline is approaching, I finished filing on my phone and paid the $133 fee. I was a bit shocked at the price but there was nothing I could do nor was there any breakdown of what that entailed. I just assumed that with the horrible state of the economy, TurboTax raised their fees to file and left it at that.

However, I kept seeing ads about filing for free with TurboTax so I got curious and looked at their online prices. Federal ranges from free to $129 and State remains at $39 (look at their online TurboTax Filing Options to see this pricing). I understand that you can add extra things which in turn will up the cost of filing but not once did I intend to add anything extra. Our history with filing with them makes it clear we don't need that nor have we ever added it and would make someone deduce that it was added in error.

When I called to inquire of the breakdown and request a refund, the agent Ramone advised it was $133 because I added Deluxe and nothing could be done. I asked if he could tell at what point in the filing process I "accepted" adding that package and he couldn't answer that. I then asked for it to be corrected because our filing status is basically the bare minimum and he said there was nothing he could do since it was already paid for. I find this very disturbing.

AND the fact that they have different versions of their service for desktop vs mobile (phone) platforms makes me mad. Obviously it's more difficult to see things on the mobile version you would have otherwise seen on the desktop version. When I was finishing filing on my phone, not once did it tell me I accepted the any "Deluxe" upgrade nor did it have me confirm it somewhere because if it had, I would've removed it! Now, they're making if difficult to get the amounts corrected to what I should've paid.

Regardless of Deluxe being unknowingly paid for, it should be corrected. Lastly, if you look at their filing prices, they have TurboTax Deluxe -Federal: $39 - State: $39 so how the *** did they charge ME $69 for Federal and $64 for State even with Deluxe? They can't produce a receipt to break it down.

If there is a reason that more needs to be charged, there should be a receipt with an explanation; e.g., You filed 2 W-2's and xyz, for that it's $xx. Just all around not happy.

Taxes

I filed my taxes with TurboTax several months ago and TurboTax advertised that the service was free. When it was time to push the file button, I was hit with a bill of over $200!

I made it absolutely clear that I am disabled and have a very low income, so therefore I cannot pay the fee. I am well below the poverty level, so I would like for my information to be emailed to me if possible so I can go someplace else. My return is delayed because I cannot afford the fee, period! So even though my information has been given, I cannot get my refund and for a poor person, this is frustrating.

TurboTax advertising was not accurate and misleading so I'm stuck with not being able to file through TurboTax.

Any saved tax information I would like to take to another tax place if possible because my taxes will never be filed with TurboTax because of the fees I cannot pay. Pissed off consumer.

Refund not received

You figured my taxes and guarantee them to be correct. The state of Missouri denied my return.

The state has refused to give a competent reason for denying the refund.

I want to SPEAK to someone responsible enough to satisfy my complaint. I dont want to communicate via email or text or on these lameass chats.
