Ratings and reviews

I used this service for the previous tax year, I'm currently using it for this tax year, but it may be my last. The only benefit is that it categorizes my purchases easily. But when filling out all my tax forms, they didn't inquire about a lot of things and just filled spaces and checked boxes with assumptions. There were times when I was correcting mistakes that they auto filled in. Lastly, their communication around tax day is awful. I had important questions that were answered days later.

If you have 1099 forms, don't bother with Keeper. They claimed they do them, then went months not bothering helping while saying they were there to help. I finally got a message stating I could request a partial refund on my subscription and was told I'd be hearing from billing. Then a message denying it because it's past the 60 days from signing up. It's not worth the hassle or run around you get. I wish I could give less then a star, but obviously not an option. Lol.

It's incredible to me that Keeper straight up denies you from looking at your estimated tax return after all that filing if you're trying to process it via desktop. The desktop side of their service is extremely bare bones and nearly non-functional, forcing you to try out their app. And the fact they force you to put in your bank information and ask for payment upfront first before even letting you do anything is very concerning.
