Ratings and reviews

Pretty decent. Wish it would include tax saver credit and go into detail with which credits it is saying you will get

The detail review page lumps income taxed at different rates together. Capital Gains for example are lumped in with other income even though Longterm Capital Gains are taxed at lower rates than regular income.

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!
