“I recently used etax for filing my taxes, and my overall experience”

I had a few queries during the process, and the customer support team was responsive. They provided helpful assistance promptly. However, improvements in providing guidance for complex situations would enhance the overall user experience.

I have been using the software for over 10 years without an incident. Software is easy to use and has all the latest updates. It also asks some questions that you might have thought about.

Tip for consumers:
Website is very user-friendly, easy to answer their questions, accurate and fast.

This tax software advertises free. Nothing free about it $80.00 to file my taxes. Then the software cannot even put depreciation on row 13 of Schedule C. WTF! Will never use this website again. Anybody that actually knows where their items should go on the tax form will be worried about getting audited. Sorry, Sorry, Sorry. What a rip off. The deserve -50* rating.

I enjoy using them to file my taxes. It's easy and convenient. However, I do not like having to pay all various fees to efile my tax forms when I barely get any money back as it is.

I just want to say a big "thank you" for the customer support provided by Michael at etax.com! Their customer support is truly a blessing. Michael was so kind and patient with me as I navigated through filing my taxes. He made the process so much less stressful and I truly appreciate his help. I will be sure to spread the word about this wonderful service!

Tip for consumers:
If you're unsure about something, call their customer support. It's free and was truly a great experience.

I gave it a four-star rating because I like how it helped you along the way and explained the information you needed to enter, which was really helpful. I was also able to get a refund, and they also sent me an email when the IRS approved everything, etax.com is a great website to use if you need help filing your taxes. But, the government should make it free!

Being accused of putting in wrong direct deposit numbers, when you go to check the file to be sure, I'm blocked from entering but can see the 1040 and it E Tax route and account numbers. E tax made the mistake and my daughter has to suffer for it! Waiting longer and being charged extra to send a check and that will cost more money to cash it. We will not use this site ever again! Ruled and Unprofessional aggressive conduct & when I called back to try to get another customer representative to help me understand the same lady answered and she will keep calling you sir even though you're not and don't sound like one. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!

Tip for consumers:
Please to be sure to take photos screenshots and/or video of every form you fill out. Wet locked from viewing ours. Why it’s our info and tax refund

I've been using ETax for a while, and I really like it. I messed up, etax fixed it anyway. It might have been because I filed jointly (via marriage) this year instead of individually. In other words, it just asked for my husband's AGI for 2021 and never inquired about mine. So, when I tried to e-file, it asked about my 2021 AGI.

This service will be very helpful if all you want to do is sign up and submit your documents. Fortunately, they were considerate enough to provide assistance with queries and worries. Generally, the procedure ought to be simple. I would like to see 'all' of my return before filing the return. Not quite as easy as in previous years, but will continue to use for filing taxes.

Tip for consumers:
it's just fine

Sometimes the same number, sometimes a different one. Usually a US area code, sometimes not. This is a scam company. No matter how many times I screamed at them LEAVE ME ALONE and hung up, they called right back. FIFTEEN FREAKING CALLS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. Always an Indian-accented male who gives a western name (John, etc.). Even if this company was legit, which clearly it is not, why pay someone to do your taxes when you can get the IRS to do it for you for free?

Etax carries over some information from the previous year's returns. My only complaint is that it does NOT alphabetize the names of charities I donated to last year. That forces me to search my spreadsheet to find the amount corresponding to the listed charity.

Was wondering why my refund was so much less this year. Called etax, the nice lady explained it was the unemployment checks that I got. The sneaky government gives you some help, then wants the money back as taxes.

I have used these guys for many years now. Never had a problem. One of the best sites to do your taxes. I highly recommend them. Price isn't too steep for what you get, no hassle, accurate taxes. I looked at other sites and this is the best one I have found.

Their website says 5 stars but you can't review on their website. 3 months after trying to submit my tax return through them I had to cancel it, basically it's the same as doing it yourself but they give added stress, answered the same question 5 times then had to do submit it myself anyway or find another accountant. Minus 15 stars because that's how many times they made me cry before cancelling.

Just wanted to say that I filled out the forms and gave credit card information as requested.
When my tax return did show up in my account it shorted a little over $90.00. I also noticed that the refunds went to their account first then mine. I contacted them and they said that I did not fill out the online form correctly. Which I know I did. Because of the so called information not being correct and they had to take a chance there was a surcharge of over $ 60.00. I feel like this is somewhat of a scam. After a long phone call trying to make my point that I did do it correctly. They somewhat said I was lying and refused to correct it.

I just read so many negative reviews that I was in tears for these people by the time I got through them. What I liked about this site was it was very easy and they only charged me, I believe it was $19.95 for self employed tax return. Just now when I needed a copy of my tax return I was able to find it unlike on tax cut. It's not on tax cut, just a summary. I was so angry because I need it for something. The only thing I see that's gone wrong with e- tax online is I was taxed for some of my social security. Never before in 18 years have I been taxed on SS. Then further looking I see that for some reason there's no report for Schedule C so I'm going to have to amend this tax year 2020. But I quickly, within no time I received my refund deposit in my bank. A lot of the refund was due to not being charged tax on unemployment which I had already paid. Overall I was excited of the ability to find my tax file afterwards and had just made up my mind that I'll be ready to use this company next year without a doubt. And then I read all the negative reviews and like I said was in tears for others. So we'll see how my amended return goes when I'm ready to do it. For all the rest of you I send my prayers and my heart sympathy. By the way I live in Tennessee so there were no state taxes to contend with and thank God I wasn't charged for that. In the past I had always used Tax Cut. I think it was connected to H&R Block but for some reason they disappeared and I've not been able to find anything about them anymore.

Tip for consumers:
I don't know in as much as they were so many negative reviews I don't know what I could say that would help. I guess I was just lucky for change. I am very happy with the service that I received with e tax online. I feel that the mistake that I find about not having a Schedule C must have been my own fault because I evidently only counted my unemployment and my Social Security as income. However the money that I did make was reported on my unemployment and reduced from my unemployment.

Visually simple, easy to navigate, more info supplied as needed for comprehension on a point. I love that you can come and go as you have time and it saves your spot.
I like the option to review each section of the return as I work on it rather than having to complete the entire process before having the option to print the return and worksheets.

E-tax led me to believe i would only be charged 30 and 55 of my fed tax return would go to what i owed state my fed tax return was 147 i got 20 none was used to pay off my state tax owed so e-tax kept 127...i did not get any documents or bill,email. That showed why they took 127...
