1. 5/5Great app

   For basic 1040 ez returns hands down the best app available. Took me less than 30 mins to get my info typed in and saved. Took longer to try and setup my wireless printer and sync with iPad to print return. Very user friendly as always will help guide you step by step. You have to be a complete moron to not be able to use this app. My only complaint would be that after wasting over an hour setting up my wireless printer the print button in the app would not allow me to print from my iPad. So I’ll just get on my laptop to print no biggie. Yes TurboTax is very quick with there scan and go but they will overcharge the crap out of you. As always no surprise fees with TaxSlayer. I used TurboTax once years ago and paid over 120 to process my return, as always taxslayer charged a fair flat rate 53 dollars. Thanks again for the fast fair tax service Taxslayer.

2. 1/5App not working trying to log in

   Each time I try to log in the app, it shows the loading screen and never comes off of that loading screen no matter how many times I restart the app, phone, or even uninstall, and reinstall the app. Plus the whole deductions and write offs and health marketplace 1095 situation they don’t have every single corresponding document type like 1095-B or 1095-C all they have is a 1095-A. I can see they tried to fast track the selection process for the taxes but the app and the website was super confusing. I expected a learning curve/learning time to get some understanding of the system. But a lot of times my taxes were being kicked back because the system used not the IRS. It took me 5 or 6 times to correct it and I hope they follow through on the package I purchased too with the tax help after the fact. The only thing I appreciated was the schedule C page and the ease of the process to enter the amount. But your IT department has a lot of room to cover to make it easier to enter certain deductions or build a search tool that will automatically go to the correct page to enter said amounts ex. Mileage, utilities purchased to perform the job.

3. 5/5Cheaper and Better than TurboTax

   Every time I used TurboTax I always felt like I was cheated from my tax returns or it was a struggle to file my taxes with them. I’m glad I found this app! The whole process is way easier and from my experience it wasn’t glitchy at all. I can go back an edit my information and the app notifies you of any missing information or if you entered incorrect information. If you did the app will give you a detailed explanation of why it is incorrect, which I really appreciated. Going forward I will be using Tax Slayer for my future filings. This is a real review. I just finished my taxes, which included multiple forms in 30 minutes or less! I never had this experience using TurboTax.

4. 5/5Crystal with TaxPro

   Crystal had amazing customer service. Called in a timely manner. I was honestly so lost with my 1099R and she not only walked me through the process but took her time to explain everything. She basically broke it down Barney’s style. I was stressed for 3 days straight trying to figure it out on my own and my only regret is not reaching out to the TaxPro specialist sooner. If you are torn on getting the package with the TaxPro, it’s $60-ish bucks but if you aren’t quite sure of what’s going on, then it’s a priceless service. Thank you again Crystal for all the help.

5. 1/5Would not recommend tax slayer to anyone

   I have had nothing but problems with Tax Slayer. They made an error on my tax return, causing me to file an amendment, and paying an additional $1,200 that I wasn’t expecting or budgeting to. I also had to pay tax slayer an additional $45 for the amendment in March. I was able to move on, until my account was charged for a NSF fee for $86 for tax slayer, who took over 4 months to charge my account for the first time I filed taxes in February. I logged in and I can’t find how to make a payment anywhere, either. I am a student, on minimum wage and live paycheck to paycheck. I am happy to pay my bills but there is no excuse for tax slayer to withhold a payment for over 4 months. Their poorly executed business has cost me more than it would have to have taxes filed elsewhere and caused much unnecessary stress and anxiety for myself. I would not recommend this tax preparation software to anyone.
