It's a great feeling to have the extension filed and paid for. I know my State refund is still safely held aside for whenever I get a chance to file, hopefully later in the summer. 

[jgillard114]

Bummed! When I started the process there was a $50 discount and at the end it was gone! 

[jasmyntso91]

This is my 3rd year in a row filing my returns through TT and its actually quite easy because I don't have to do much since all my info is already there, so I'm pretty relieved to be able to do it again without any troubles. I hope it's as easy this year being accepted as it was last year!

[jasmyntso91]

This is my 3rd year in a row filing and it's actually quite easy to file through TT because they already have my info. I hope this year goes smoothly again. It's always a process going through all my W2's and making sure I didn't miss any, but I'm glad I got it done! I didn't even realize how close I was to the end of the tax deadline 😳 

[char59]

i have been using turbo tax for years, I luv turbo tax because even I can do my own taxes using the turbo tax app. I didn't have any issues with tt . I feel it is easy to use & understand no matter which form(s) I may have had to use depending on the tax year & what I did then & has always been accurate on my refunds. I feel really great knowing that tt was here for me to file & have help standing by if needed. Its a great feeling knowing I did my own taxes thanks to turbo tax. I will continue to file my taxes with TURBOTAX  thank u

[humbleandloveable]

I've been using Turbo Tax for years. When life was complicated and I had to itemize through now retired and life is simplified short form, I trust turbo tax to make tax filing easy. I've never had a problem and I'm confident every time I file that it's done right. How do I feel? Relieved and assured. Thanks Turbo Tax

[Lordj1]

4 years strong with TurboTax, & contrary to most peoples experiences filing taxes, mine was actually a breeze (as usual). Problem-free filing & speedy fund delivery everytime. Cheers & see ya again next year💪😘

[ajason_99]

I filed my tax return electronically and it was rejected and the error code was IND-181-01..meaning that i needed to supply personal pin assigned to me by IRS.

I saw no place to enter that pin number on the return and the return was rejected because of it.

I can not see any way to correct that to enable me file my taxes electronically now.

Is there a way to fix this error.

I tried to file a solution within TurboTax and found none. 

[dcloppas]

I feel great!!! Love using Turbotax every year! Makes tax reporting easy.

[angenue]

Honestly, I am upset. I used TurboTax last year. It was my first time doing taxes so I found it easy to use. Now on my second year, I am realizing that we are all being scammed. I had to sign up for deluxe then pay $116 just to get my full refund??? Next time i’ll just go on the actual IRS website and file it there. 

The worst part is that they dont tell you the final cost until after you spend an hour of your day filling the whole thing out 

[Cg211]

I am very excited I hope I win could really use help

[cruskal]

Hello!

Thanks to the turbo tax application, the community, and live help, I was able to file my returns confidently. There is a lot of valuable information available in the community threads.

Feedback for the Turbo tax team to make this awesome product better:

1. The software/web application did not read certain fields in the uploaded form correctly. I would suggest that after the user uploads the form, the application should ask users to double-check each field that has a value. It is easy to miss for users (while also improving the logic to read the values).
2. I switched from mail to e-file, but needed a workaround to do that. When I printed my return documents, I still had the option to go back and e-File (I did not click on - I'm Done on the last page). When I logged in the next day, the option was gone, I couldn't go back and choose e-file. I had to work around it by selecting "Add State tax"
3. Live expert/help option is great! This is the first time I was filing my IRS return and had a lot of questions about what needed to be done in certain situations. However, there were instances where I received mixed information from different experts.

Hope the team is able to take this feedback and iterate on the application!

Thank you!

[minglamchoi]

Greatly relieved. TurboTax gives me a big help.

[lizziet89]

Turbo was fast and safe thank you.

[fsops]

Finally, done with the IRS for another year!  My only complaint with Turbo is that it shows an error but not the least hint what is incorrect!  PULEASE, can't you give a hint?  There has to be a more user friendly way for users to ask for help, maybe try looking how other sites do it Turbo!  I am a LOOONG time user but it can be frustrating at times!

[Tcummings2022]

One word that best describes my feelings regarding the completion of my 2021 Federal tax return is RELIEVED! I was stressing over the thought of getting my taxes done in a precise and timely fashion that it has caused me to wait until last minute to get it done. There were different forms, credits, and deductions that I had to include on this years tax return that were unfamiliar from past years returns for me. This had me concerned I would be unable to do my taxes correctly. However, like most things that I worry, and overthink about, it turned out to be not so confusing after all. I'm fact, it was quite easy to access my forms and enter the data for my taxes correctly. Overall, I am extremely happy that I was able to compete the return in time with the HH ell of the turbo tax platform which thoroughly assisted me each step of the process. Now I am just anxiously waiting for the money to hit my account as I am sure many other people can relate with me on that!

[Mkouchoukos]

I applied very first day we were able to file I still haven’t received any word back and it was such a long hard process with the child tax credit. 

[tjvines1013]

I have used Turbo Tax for many years. This is the first time they have disappointed me. I was charged $199 + tax for Turbo Live Self Employed in error. They keep denying my refund and I don't understand why, This is very frustrating because this charge is causing my account to overdraft. I really thought they cared. It is clearly an error, I am not self employed. I can't seem to get any help in resolving this matter. I need to know who I can reach out to.

[MUZICLUVAH]

I was feeling great a few weeks ago when I successfully completed and filed my 2021 tax return via Turbotax Home & Business.  HOWEVER, I opened the program today to correct something and all of my hours of work were POOF! gone.  I searched my whole system and the file is gone.  The only thing I can think of is either a MS update or Turbotax update.  Super disappointed, to say the least as I have been a fan and long time user of Turbotax.  I now have to recreate all of my work so it translates to 2022 return IF I use Turbotax again.

[dk1963]

Turbo Tax makes it easy to get my taxes done.

[KinzCrystal]

Relieved they are done! With starting a new business this year I was nervous about filing but TT had everything I needed and the help clicks made things easier to understand. Been a TT user for years and happy with how smooth it works year after year.

[Calabasa714]

So Happy with this aervice. I love the fact that its very simple to walk through and do yourself. I myself was bummed cause I kept getting a error to fix that for some reason I was unable to do. And was getting frustrated. Knowing you got experts available to help in those cases if you choose to. So happy with what my return is... Thank You so much and I strongly recommend this service to everyone.

[Jacob89g]

I love how easy TurboTax makes doing my taxes! I had a more complex situation this year, but TurboTax made it easy and I'm confident I got the best return possible. Thank you, TurboTax.

[Artist4Hire]

Went through HR Block and was so proud I've really tried with reading articles, creating spreadsheets, nonstop calculations, and I finished filing both for free. Now I've been rejected and I already couldn't do my self-employment for free. Hoping intuit has a free version because now I'm exhausted from hrblocks walls. 

[tydone88]

I was happy to get a pop up offering a free human contact to ask a question.  I couldn't figure out why several items kept asking "Needs Review"

[HaPpY gO lUcKy]

I was a real nervous wreck as my so called husband had screwed a lot of this stuff up for me and i had no paper work or documents to go on.  I honestly did not think turbo tax would be able to help but they did and they are very knowledgeable. I know I  was a pain in the butt for turbo tax but they were extremely extremely patient with me and more help than I could have asked for and expected. Definitely using turbo tax from now on. Thank you Turbo Tax!!!!!!

[wilbuRp-22]

I feel totally relieved!!!!  Phew!!  Did it with TurboTax again!!!!  Easy peasy!!!!  I feel SOoooooo GOOD!!!  Thabnk you!!!

[Janisevans1958]

I almost didnt file, thinking i didnt need to and that i would probably owe, but at the last moment i jumped on and low and behold i got the best tax breaks and to my surprise im getting a awesome refund from both federal and state. Thank you T.T.

[winterfrosty1]

The biggest issue for last 2 years is entering multiple w2gs with no solution.  I am unable to file for 2020 due to issue. I tried to log back online version and unable to file online only by download or CD.  Big disappointment where I now owe back taxes if and when I can file. It  will take days if not weeks to enter in every w2g entries if the program will let me finish. Please allow 2020 online version so I can finish it. 

[Hbenoit94]

I feel great knowing, it's done and over we with until next year. I even realized I was filing my w-4 wrong, thanks to a super nice lady with Turbo Tax, and changed it so I wouldn't have to pay for 2022. I can now use the money to do some needed repairs in my bathroom.

[waisso770]

The people at turbotax will never say they or the software made a mistake. (long story, but I got double charged) I will try a different company next year. Hire better programmers that do not try and make the software feminine, fix the errors, and admit when you or the software makes a mistake.

[Bfrenette4]

It was confusing. I honestly kept putting it off as i do our taxes every year and my husband goes through so many jobs that its concerably exhausting. I hope next year is better!

[AGordon]

Very relieved I'm done for another year. I've used Turbo Tax for many years and am confident my return is accurate and complete!

[Mruss1]

Wouldn't feel confident at all w/o help from TT software! Exhausting process made lots easier with the access provided in instructions and help box links.

[waisso770]

Last year after completing my returns they disappeared when I went to go back and make a change. I did it again from scratch. Then guess what happened, yep it dumped my return again. I had to do last year's return 3 times from the very start. Nothing was saved. The programmers they are hiring is to blame imo. When TT works it is great, and when it doesn't, it will push you to the brim, especially when you have to do the whole thing over on the last tax day. Then I got charged twice after my return was rejected and I went back to make a correction. I had to pay to file it again because it forgot who I was, and wouldn't accept the email that I used. Once I realized that it charged me twice I called and talked to them and the girl acted like I was the one at fault. I couldn't get her to understand that it wouldn't accept my email. Either way, they filed my taxes one time, yet they charged me 2 times. They make a mistake, and you pay for it. Sounds like crooks to me tbh.

I feel really smart I got exhausted because I’m not too good at filling papers but TurboTax make it easy for us thanks

[Kevin61048]

Unsure how secure I feel.

I first filed my taxes and both fed & state returns were accepted.  Cool, I thought.  I reviewed my saved returns and realized I failed to report my spouse and my SSA income.  I would have thought for sure my return would have been kicked back as in previous years we filed with that info.  Surely, there should be some error-trapping in Turbo Tax to catch that.  Apparently not.  

[rodowski]

Feels. good. easy and smooth.  My friends. pay professionals to do there. taxes.  I tell them,  i do my own. and they think. im. the Guru.   So. i am enjoying my guru status.  Thanks. Turbo tax!!!!!!!!

[stevenhoifeldt]

Happy to be finished for this year!

[lynchmob719]

Great went very smooth

[Guillermo2020]

Hello! Now that I've filed, I feel relieved. Even though I am due payments to both Federal and State rather than receiving a refund, I am relieved to be done with it.

[Tinamw123]

This was. So easy to use,!

[Tinamw123]

This was so easy to use. Always had an option to ask question if confused w what info was needed . Feel confident in using this n will continue in future as this first time in 10 years I’ve had to do myself . A few places I would have liked more clear answers but figured out! No complaints ! Def recommend

[kingoftheroad83]

Well I'm feeling irritated, as I typically do this time of year. This year I'm irritated with Turbo Tax. Repeatedly got rejected by the IRS and told I needed to change this one line, which was the correct figure already, so we had to go somewhere local to talk to a real person. Shout out to H&R Block for actually having local branches and real people. We were able to get our taxes submitted and accepted on the first try.

THEN, I requested a refund from Turbo Tax since I wasn't able to use their product. What was I told? The Satisfaction Guarantee only applies to downloaded products. So no, even though I couldn't use the product they wouldn't give me a refund. Needless to say, I won't be using Turbo Tax again.

[philmore-s11]

Hello, I contacted the IRS  and was told they sent my refund to you guy's so you guy's could take the fees out that I owe can you verify this?

[Colby21]

Turbo tax is really so good though this is my first filing and basically my refund was accepted immediately ,I really taught it gonna be hard for me to file but it really so easy ,I don't have any problems with my refund everything went smoothly , it's Turbo Tax I will be using to file my tax forever ,and thanks to the IRS 

[Mimi21320]

I feel happy that tax filing is done. This year, I even get a little back! One problem with Turbotax is that it needs to be programmed with the states that do not have an income tax. It drives me crazy when the program keeps trying to get me to file a state return when there isn't one! I have used Turbotax for many years and am always happy with it; it just gets frustrating having the same questions asked over and over. I would not do my taxes without Turbotax. I can use it for less than $100 and a professional tax filer would charge me several hundred dollars!

[wellhopper]

DONE again!!! Been using Turbo Tax since the early 90s. Version varies by year & also use the Business for maybe 20 years now. Major life change (wife passed 2020) so ended up with a MUCH bigger than expected tax bill! So much for the Tax Cut Act 2017...what a crock! ;((

[Leo1943]

feel great filed on last due to my wife having hospital and doctorvisits

[oky36]

Filing really left me with a headache this year. I wasn't too worried about it going in, but this year the program feels... off somehow. Some of the questions would loop back and ask me the same thing multiple times. Some instructions were not clear, and I wouldn't realize I'm actually not eligible for a certain deduction or credit until after already getting more than halfway through the form then reading some small print in a sidebar help article... There were a couple of random empty forms that got generated and I couldn't finish submitting my taxes because it wanted me to fill these unrelated blank forms out. So, I had to figure out how to delete the rogue forms. One of them kept regenerating, so I had to delete, clear my cache and cookies, and completely restart that section in order to finally make it fo away. It was such a hassle that I'm starting to wonder if it's still worth it to use TT over just going to an accountant. But I'll give it one more go next year and see if they fix any of these issues... Man, head still hurts... 😅
