Real user experiences from across different platforms
Worst service I have ever used. They constantly missed deadlines. Miscalculated payroll. Could not run basic reports. Could not calculate year end taxes. Worst customer service I have experienced. Would not answer phones or return calls. Cost me extra money in fines and fees. I had to spend lots of time correcting their mistakes and hiring a real CPA.

Inconsistent quality and difficulty accessing human customer service/support. Users report critical software calculation errors with complex forms (e.g., K-1, foreign tax credits). Downgrading from an upper-tier online product is complicated (requires calling support, though this is changing). State e-file fee ($19.95) is separate for desktop software, leading to 'hidden fees' complaints. Prices can increase significantly (surge pricing) closer to tax deadlines.
