TurboTax fees this year were ridiculous

[Kingmikeey]

Yeep I will not be filing with them next year. I get charged more and more for the “free” version every year and i made sure I didn’t select deluxe. They lie and are a rip off! I have a simple return! Don’t advertise free if it’s not

visit the IRS at https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free

to find truly free filing. Note that some include free state as well; that's important.
Otherwise, If you have to file a state return, and don't want to do that yourself, you will need software that you pay for.

I agree!!!!! I was so irritated to see the price had literally DOUBLED from last year, then I went to sign in and finish filing my taxes and I see they hiked the price from $169 to $199 since last month!!! What the **** is going on??? I’m not using a specialist I’m just using automated software ffs

@alisongreen1978 Every year the TurboTax prices increase to the standard price from the early bird pricing on March 1.

No, that guy was right. Someone tell Mark Notriani that pricing is way out of control to fill that revenue gap. Your corporate targets are too high and passing along margin growth to us plebs. People aren't stupid and will remember. This year is the last year you will gouge me. Greedy assholes. I'd rather peck away at the keyboard with a new tax software for 8 hours vs paying 280 bucks to file my taxes.

Cash app has free software that is extremely helpful and 100% free not to mention they also have free tax audit defense… Insane, Turbo Tax are crooks and overcharge for their services. They used to be priced reasonable smh.

I started filing using the "DIY" online option which was supposed to cost $115 at the most.  At the end, it went up to $209 for the Federal, $69 for the State = $278!  I mean, what the hell???  How did the cost more than double from the beginning?  Also, I was willing to let it go and do the direct deposit.  $35 for a "fast" version vs free for a slow version for direct deposit.  Can you say that they're looking to RIP PEOPLE OFF?!?!?!?  No only that, they also want to charge $40 for using their service.  I will NEVER EVER use Turbo Tax again!  After more than 20 years of using it, I'm done.  Plus, I will spread the word on how Intiut are a bunch of thieves looking to steal people's money by doing underhanded tricks instead of being upfront.  NEVER AGAIN!!!
