Filing with TaxSlayer is easy. I have been a repeat customer for quite a few years already. Even with the simple filing option, help and clarification options are always there to guide you all throughout.

Great and fast service

I was a user of that other software company for over a 20 years. I tested TaxSlayer 3 years ago and I have never looked back. If your taxes start getting complicated, subscribe to the extra services. It is well worth the headaches.
1. Fees -fair and clear before you start.
2. Software - cloud based, easy to use, and stores your information.
3. Speed of returns - keep an eye on your email. As soon as you file, you will receive a confirmation of acceptance. I can't definitively state that TaxSlayer will get your returns faster but my State return was in my account in less than 48 hours after I filed. That is lightning fast. Federal always takes the 2-3 weeks.

Very Easy to use the website. Very user friendly and smooth would recommend to anyone that can't do there return for free.

I didn’t like anything about it … except you did guide us … I didn’t like WE had to PAY when it almost came to then end .. I was an easy peezy tax but one invoice was holding us up and we had to pay …. Which pissed me off .. I didn’t have ANY money …and my friend had to pay … which I just paid him back today actually but that was misleading.. so never again

Web UI doesn't work and the customer service is absolutely terrible.

4 th time using Tax Slayer. Always went well. This time I owe ? I bought a house this year and paid a lot of mortgage interest. I always trusted Tax Slayer but this time I'm not very happy. Always used the Free file but this year I paid Tax Slayer and owe IRS. Since I waited until the last days there was no time to validate results. Feel like I got ripped off. Going to have return checked by someone else.

Easy to use and very intuitive. Process was clear from start to finish.

Software was pretty straight forward and easy to follow for preparation of the 2025 tax return.

Always easy to navigate, the online help is fantastic! Highly recommend!

It took a while to get everything done. With other tax companies. But you came through without a problem.

I didn't like the either guided or forms approach. I thought the 1099-B process was confusing as the amount withheld needed to be input in another area and now I need to check my previous year, but that isn't available in the UI because of issues last year. I get that I should be a bit more proactive though.

Is so easy to do it, It took me less than 30 minutes,just follow step by step

I've had several issues with TaxSlayer while providing information for the 8962 FORM. Tried their Support but they didn't resolve it. I had to make things work through the TaxSlayer User Interface to get it Accepted by the IRS, but by doing so I lost money because the Tool doesn't allow us to use the "Alternative Calculation for Year of Marriage (Form 8962, Part V)," accordingly. I followed what their Support told me to do, but I attempted to correctly populate Form 8962 Part V using only my spouse's information, as he was the only one with HealthCare.gov Marketplace coverage. Per IRS instructions and TaxSlayer own documentation, Line 35 (Primary Taxpayer) should be completely empty, and only Line 36 (Spouse) should contain data, since I never had Marketplace coverage. However, TaxSlayer's software does not allow this. When I select "Alternative Calculation for Year of Marriage (Form 8962, Part V)," the system forces me to fill in both the Primary Taxpayer section AND the Spouse section. There is no way to leave Line 35 empty in your software while still using Part V. The only option that correctly leaves my (Primary Taxpayer) fields empty is selecting "None of the Above.". However, selecting "None of the Above" means I cannot elect the alternative calculation at all, which results in a higher repayment of excess APTC. If I could fill out accordinly this would reduce the excess APTC repayment significantly compared to the standard calculation.

I used TaxSlayer for a few years. Then for a couple of years I used a CPA. I went back to TaxSlayer this year. It was horrible. It's much less easy to use now. It's impossible to look at draft of your 1040 to see how things are lining up. Like almost every tech company that falls in love with AI, the customers are the ones who suffer. I highly doubt I'll use it again.

Previous data was available and steps were easy to follow.
