Decided to try TurboTax this year, since using Credit Karma was resulting in my mailbox filling up on a weekly basis with loan spam.
1st attempt: using the free online page, amounts match what I had last year. At the very end I am taken hostage with a "Pay for Deluxe or we won't let you submit, since you have an HSA". There goes an hour of my time.
2nd attempt: bought their Deluxe for $30 off Costco, start reentering all that on the desktop program. When it gets to state filing, it holds me hostage again to pay another $40. My state refund is about $100 tops. I call in customer service and get put on hold for about an hour by a rep who had better things to do (55 mins to be exact). So TurboTax stole about 2-3 hours of my life at this point, and $30 on top since Costco does not refund those keys.
Meanwhile I put laundry in the drier, vacuum the room a bit, register again on Credit Karma, file the entire thing and submit before finally telling the agent I did not need her help anymore.
