Turbo tax is getting too expensive and not up front about costs and fees making the overall experience incredibly frustrating. Not going to file next year with Turbo tax.

First of all,

I made an address change in Turbo Tax so that my current address would appear on the Federal and State tax returns.  This seemed to take the changes correctly but when I finished and reviewed the PDF Federal and State tax returns, they still had the original mailing addresses and the new address information I supplied was not updated on the tax returns. I changed the mailing address from an Atlanta, Georgia address to a Stone Mountain, Georgia address. In addition to that, there is a question on the Georgia state tax form that asks about how much taxes were withheld for the Georgia State Pension fund in the years 1986-1988.  How on earth do you think anyone remembers or  has records pertaining to that information as far back as 37 years ago?  If you don't answer this question, Turbo Tax will not let you continue with your submission.

 

The cost of using this tax software package  is rather expensive. I chose the Premium version without technical assistance and it cost me $178.00.  This must be one of the most expensive tax software programs on the planet. There are a number of Tax software programs accessible over the Web that are robust at a fraction of the cost.  OnLine Taxes (OLT) can be used at a nominal cost and if you fall within the right income bracket there is no charge at all for Federal, State, and electronic submissions.

Mine went from $89 a few days ago to $119 today.  I am just a college students, I had just scraped up enough only to get hit with this now I for sure can't pay.

There has been a price increase on March 1 for several years.  The early prices expire.  You can pay early to lock in the lower price before they go up.  Something to remember for next year if you use Turbo Tax.     

 

Or try the IRS Free File program

Any reason for the price increase for the Small business (Canada) from $49.99 to $60.00 this year?

Also you have sneaked in a $21.00 charge on the simple (free) return by taking out Medical expenses from it. These are unjustified money grabs with no justification other than greed.

 

Why is that? It's a frigging online software, not food or housing or energy consuming product!
