I wish that I would have listened to all of my friends and Family when they told me that I should not do my taxes on my own. Especially considering its my very first time and I dont know one single thing about them. I am a beginner. They told me If o chose to do it Online I should pay whatever I had to pay, so that I could choose a Good Tax Company and have the Option to have a tax expert assist me through the process. Each and every step of the way.  And all the other resources that would come with what I was paying for,  ( I was being stubborn, trying to find the cheapest way out!) I know that a few Tax Company's allow you to have an option online when your filing yourself, they will go over it. review your return thoroughly and make sure you have made no mistakes. WELL, I didn't choose to pay out a couple hundred to have it professionally done in office or heck, I didnt even choose to pay $86 bucks to have a Tax Expert assist me through the steps while filing online, or for an Expert to check over my return to make sure I didnt miss anything or make any mistakes. I chose to pay $25, and it would be taken out my Refund Amount. At first, I thought everything went fine. but a couple days passed by and i decided to look over what all I put down. and boy oh boy. I messed up several things, now not even sure if l get a r

  • refund. Somehow I put ZERO for my Income Earned. That was a huge mistake.... And a couple more errors. I just wanted to hurry and get it done and filed so I can get my Return Money. Hahahha. Well, the jokes on me. I wish I would have took my time when filing and had someone that knew more about taxes help me. and go over it for me.... But I REALLY wish I would have sucked it up and paid out whatever needed to be paid to have a Tax Expert do my Taxes for me. That was my biggest mistake. Ill never do it on my own again. But this was my first time ever filing taxes. So, I learned a good lesson. and it may have cost me a good amount. and the site I filed with, it has no resources. nothing. no updates. no customer service to communicate with over email or chat. just phone and cant get anyone to pick up. A good E-filing tax service would have noticed my errors and corrected them. But nope, not this one. So Ill never use them again. I wish I knew all this before choosing to go with them and filing myself online. I wouldnt have. I will for SURE be using TurboTax from now on. Ive recently read nothing but GREAT reviews. Cant wait to file next time with Turbo tax. But like I said before I am new to taxes and you have to make mistakes sometimes to learn a valuable lesson. PAY whatever you have to pay, as long as you have a Tax Expert helping you, You CANT go wrong.
