Ratings and reviews

Edit: Since the newest update, it will give the correct refund amount, HOWEVER- you have to enter all information, it will give an amount that is roughly $2,000 less than it should be. You then close the app and reopen it, and it shows correct amount. Have used this app for a few years, and has always been accurate. This year, however, it said I would be getting back $9,192. When i actually went to file my taxes, i was told i will only be getting $6,927. That is an inaccuracy of $2,265!

i have used this app for a few years and this is the first time ever it was wrong. I even messaged them on Facebook to tell them it was incorrect but they assured me it was up to date with the new tax reform. I guess they got enough complaints and fixed it within the last 2 weeks but it's still off. you also have to close the app and reopen it to get the correct refund amount otherwise it's the wrong amount until then. new updated number was close to my refund amount but off by 600 dollars.

Very inaccurate tax calculation. I just finished my taxes and may owe a penalty. I assumed that I had just estimated something wrong. But, it turns out that I estimated a little high and the app still undercaluculated the taxes. It's good for helping you collect your normal income and deductions, but not good at the tax calculation. The web version is equally inaccurate for me.
