As a tax volunteer who has used TaxSlayer for years, they noticed a recent software change that limits box 14 to one entry per code. Their team now combines unlisted codes as a workaround.
Of the 36 reviews with a clear verdict, 8% are positive, 44% mixed and 47% negative. The praise mentioned most is easy to use. The most common complaint is buggy app.
The praise reviewers mention most: easy to use (5 reviews), low fees (2 reviews) and reliable (2 reviews). For example: Useful for the last couple of years, especially because it could e-file US tax returns for an expat.
The complaints reviewers mention most: buggy app (7 reviews), hidden fees (4 reviews) and poor support (4 reviews). For example: Requires identity verification every single year across three straight tax seasons, which never happened on TurboTax.
It's how well reviewed TaxSlayer is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Tax software. Type: Online tax software. Fees: Classic $44.99, Premium $64.99, state additional; free for simple returns.
