I prefer Taxslayer over all experts used before

Taxslayer provides the expertise I lack. It takes my info and analyzes it expertly in ways that are impossible for me as a lay person. The instructions are clear, and where there are questions, Taxslayer provides contact online to provide answers. Also, all my info is carried over year to year and all I have to do is update any changes. I have used Taxslayer for many years and intend to stay with it.

Sneaky sneaky

It was fine until you over charged me for the service. Just to have y'all take the money from my return you charge 41.99 more on top of the 45 so that is ridiculous. If I wasn't over tax time this year I would have went to turbo tax or something. No worries. I won't use you guys again. Thanks but no thanks

Tax slayer made it simple to file my taxes. They walk you through every step. Even though my particular tax situation did not get me a refund, I believe all their calculations are correct. No more turbotax for me...

Tech support outstanding

I had to call tech support because of an error I couldn’t seem to find. The support person was professional and very helpful. I haven’t talked to someone who was so pleasant in a long time. She needs some praise.

The interface was clunky

The interface was clunky. Felt like 2007. Uploading my investment accounts didn't work. I'm 100% sure I didn't get my full refund.

Hi, Most refunds are processed and returned within 21 days after the date you filed. To track the status of your refund, simply log in to the IRS website and use their "Where's my Refund" tool. Visit https://www.irs.gov/refunds for the tracking tool. You can check your status 24 hours after the IRS has received your e-file, or four weeks after mailing your return.

Premium package

The premium package was great. It would be nice if it remembered your previous deductions from last year. Instead of asking what form do you want, it should ask you.
I also didn't appreciate being hijacked by ID.me! That's BS. Our current leadership loves stomping our privacy but tiptoes around the Epstein papers!

I was having trouble with TurboTax and they hang up was with a number for your retirement plan is said it wasn’t enough digits. I didn’t realize I couldn’t get my taxes to complete because of this and there was no directions on helping me so after paying for TurboTax, I went back and used tax slayer because I have used them in the past I don’t know why I changed the TurboTax but you guys were easier and I appreciate it. It worked out. Thank you very much.

Hi Naomi, we understand your frustration, and we want to help! Unfortunately, the IRS does not notify TaxSlayer when they release your funds. However, you can get that information directly from the IRS. Visit https://www.irs.gov/refunds and enter the required information to get all the details around your tax refund.
