Quote:I use the Online version not the desktop.  But I pay for it.  All I'm saying is if you have the simplest tax return you can possibly have, it should take like 5 minutes.  That's the whole point of it.  Enter W2, pay, go.  They already have the rest of my info.  That's the whole reason I'm paying for it in the first place.  

 

I might use them again just so I can time it.

 

I used TurboTax again.  It took a little less than 30 minutes but I still don't like the design.  It takes way longer than it needs to, especially being that all my information was already on file, and every single bit of information other than the w2 was EXACTLY the same.  Instead of me having to click "no" to a hundred things one at a time they could streamline it a bit.  Let me review if anything has changed.  Put more stuff on a page or something.  They also tried to upsell me 4 different times (Max benefits (twice!), student load saving etc ..., mint credit score).   Obviously 30 minutes isn't horrible, and I know they have to design it for a variety of tax situations, but I'm still not all that impressed.
