Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Turbo Tax sent me an email asking if the above answer solved my question.

 

No, it did not. Per the screenshot, there is no place where I can selected "Federal." Rather, I have to go through the whole State return, and then delete it at the end.

 

Turbo Tax used to be a simple, quick process. Now, Turbo Tax has set it up to be even more time consuming, particularly given the multiple efforts it attempts to extract more payment (than necessary or wanted) from its customers. This approach, in my opinion, is very disrespectful, and will likely lead me to use another provider (the IRS e-filing system, which two sons say is very easy, and free) for my 2021 taxes.

 

This is particularly the case given that Turbo Tax's software for my 2020 return required me to essentially misstate answers in order to get around mistakes in Turbo Tax's software (had to do with a Beneficiary SEP-IRA RMD issue). 

 

Call me a disgruntled customer, but after nearly 20 years of using Turbo Tax, I'm ready to be done with it.

 

(And Turbo Tax, so long as you send me emails asking if my problems have been solved, I'll keep responding to them -- at least until I add TT to my spam filter.)
