I was with TurboTax for 5 years.
They started with free version of TurboTax and still at the end of the filing, I had to pay $9.95
They maintained this for couple of more years.
Then later years, they raised the fee to $19.95, but they still bragged it as a FREE filing.
And this year, the fee was eye-popping almost $50 dollars. WTH.. I checked back and it was still FREE filing.
I went through their online docs and stuff and I came to know they're charging me whole these years for State filing.
So, it's like even if they're giving you FREE Federal filing, they'll charge you for State filing. And they got more greedier year after year.
First off, I almost made my mind to pay $50 after going through all that hassles and time but wait a minute ,second thought stopped me and I did research online and I found TaxAct.
For now, they charged me $14.95 for everything.
I would recommend you to go for TaxAct.
There is no such thing as free in the world. It's just marketing. Eventually, you'll end up paying more or less, no matter what.
