GBI paid $170 to do my taxes thinking I… I paid $170 to do my taxes thinking I would also receive support if their software had issues. Not so, I found two serious problems with their software and their support was horrible; I knew more about the program than the support person did! Apparently their model is to put rookies on the support line who can't help you but instead try to up-sell you to someone who knows what they're doing.

GBNot much help beyond printing the return I'm amazed that there is no information for where to send your paper tax return for Federal or state. Apparently in September you can't e-file and you have to mail it in. Come on Tax Act, don't make us hunt all over for a mailing address. This is sloppy programming.

GBI used this awful company for trust… I used this awful company for trust account. I had one question and was told that I would have to pay to get help. When I talked to a person on the phone they said they had no idea, and no one would know the answer. When I tried to get my money back they would not refund it because I had already printed it out. I explained that it was trash, that they could not answer the question when they claim that they assist with trusts and then no one knew the answer. Be careful with this company. When I called HR Block the advisor told me that they have had many customers go to them because the software interface was junk, and I have to agree. I do my personal taxes on freetaxusa and it is quick and easy and free.

GB"Deluxe" or we don't help you "Pay us for the Deluxe service or else we provide a service less than bare minimum." Terrible greed.

GBI have used TaxAct for 6 years - its good I have used TaxAct for 6 years to file our S-Corp returns, and the occasional extension. To go through all the prompts takes time, but in the end, everything was perfect and filed immediately. My son used TurboTax Deluxe for a multiple state tax return, and only one state filed. He just heard from NY and they want him to pay $4K for 2016 (5 years later!)- and 1/2 of that amount is penalties and interest. Now, I know he should have checked to be sure everything went through and the payment actually was taken from his bank account in 2017 when he filed - However . . . I will say that TaxAct has never gotten it wrong for us.
