Not sure which service/website you are using, but I have been using Free Tax USA for years now and never been disappointed. Very thorough and excellent results.

FreeTaxUSA is awesome. I've never even used H&R block or that-other-one-whose-name-escapes-me-right-now.

It really is. Too bad they chose a name that sounds downright scammy. Lots of people stay away from it because it does sound sketchy, but I am thoroughly impressed by how easy and simple it is to use. AND, it does better than other platforms or professionals. For example, I know lots of people miss out on the NJ property tax credit for renters because it is a very unique thing not seen in other states.

I know, right? They could do a better branding...

Now I need to double check that! Two options: i. it's that easy and I don't even realize I got these credits, or ii. I'm missing on them. =D

I used HR Block last year and all I have to say about that experience is, never again. What a nightmare. I used Free Tax USA this year for myself and my partner and it was very easy.

I used KPMG in the past, and they messed up so much... Friend used KPMG and H&RBlock, same result.

FreeTaxUSA every year.

My HR Block issue was a little unique in that I made the mistake of going with the one closest to me in UC and they paired me for the virtual service with an older woman who wasn't familiar with my tax forms and didn't speak English well enough to understand me explaining to her EXACTLY how to do it.

I understand the necessity of having Spanish speaking professionals here, but I have no idea why the company is allowing people to be paired with her indiscriminately or why she is called an "expert" when she had never seen some of the forms I needed.

I had to escalate the issue three times, go in for my VIRTUAL return, and then go to a DIFFERENT HR Block to finally fix everything. Company never got back to me about the case I opened about it.

Only good part is I learned enough about doing taxes through that whole process to be able to do it myself for the rest of my life. Ok, rant over, thanks for listening hahahha.
