Why TurboTax doesn't have 24 hours live experts? Since I am paying the full price, this should be available for a company of this size... this is very disappointing

TT has never has 24 hours support for their DIY programs  even during filing season.  And what CPA would be on call overnight ?  I know I am not even for my clients.   They are not ER doctors and they are all based in the US ( no foreign operatives are employed). 

 

You can ask your question here in the forum if you wish otherwise you will have to use the LIVE option when available.

@Afonso Alves - you may be paying "full price' but that doesn't mean that "full price" supports the cost of providing 24x7 365 coverage for a product that is rather seaonal.  

 

That 'full price' would be a lot higher if Turbo Tax was to offer 24 x7 coverage, especially this time of year.
