I used TurboTax again this year. I tried using a free alternative called "FreeFillableForms" or something similar. It was like the site was made by someone who was just trying to push something out that worked but was not very intuitive. At some point I got to a point where I needed clarification and just could not find it so I went back to TT.
After using TT, I clicked on one of the promotions and installed an app called Turbo. It was a CreditKarma clone that gave me horrible scores that didn't seem to mesh with any other source I could find. I think CreditKarm is just going to be rebranded as Turbo.

- thrower123 7y agoI'm starting to get the feeling that I'm paying protection money to Turbotax to have them ward off the gaze of what IRS auditors still exist. I'm not sure it is even possible to file a return that they couldn't nail you to the wall on something if they wanted to. But... it took me an hour to do my taxes, and my refund was direct deposited in a little over a week. So at least it works.
- astura 7y agoWhy not use TaxHawk? It's $0 for a federal return, $15 for a state return (not required), and an established company with a good UI.
- metasaval 7y agoFYI, Credit Karma has their own tax filing tool [0], which I'm using this year after using TT the last two years, and I find it more understandable for my simple returns. Honestly, what I'm worried about is that CK's tool disappears. [0] tax.creditkarma.com
- WrtCdEvrydy 7y agoI like TaxAct.com... but I may be biased because it's pretty easy to use.
- rubyfan 7y ago> I may be biased because it's pretty easy to use Seems like a good reason to be bias. I’ve used it for a while as well. Initially it was cheaper than TT but I have to guess they are comparable now.
