I personally had a good experience with HR Block last year so this news kind of surprised me. I felt everything was clear and the price matched what i expected. But i do understand how people could feel misled if the process is not transparent enough.

The customer service from TaxSlayer was actually pretty decent. I had a small issue linking my state return and they replied quickly with clear instructions. It is nice to see that even a budget friendly option still takes support seriously.

I filed with TaxAct for the first time when i started freelance work and it handled the extra forms without a problem. It showed me where to enter all my 1099 income and i felt confident that it was correct. The interface is simple but it is effective. No issues with my refund either.

I tried TaxSlayer once when i was short on funds and honestly it surprised me. It did not look as flashy as TurboTax but my return was accepted quickly with no issues. The lower price really made it worth it. I think the only reason people stick to TurboTax is brand recognition.

Honestly FreeTaxUSA does not get enough credit. I used it while freelancing and it handled my 1099 income just fine. It even guided me through self employment tax details. The only drawback was customer support was not super fast but it was still manageable.

TurboTax has been my go to for years mainly because i started with it and got used to the flow. I know exactly where everything is and how to navigate the process. The comfort of familiarity really matters during tax season when you’re already stressed. I did consider switching once, but the idea of learning a whole new system didn’t appeal to me.
