"I was so nervous about filing my taxes for the first time, but this app made it incredibly easy. I just snapped a photo of my W-2 and the app did the rest! Plus, I qualified for the $0 filing, so I didn't pay a cent. It’s way faster than using a computer."

"Being a freelancer, my taxes are usually a headache. The Expert Assist feature allowed me to get professional help right from my phone, and the bilingual support was a huge plus. I received my refund advance in seconds—it's the most stress-free tax season I've ever had."

Summary

Despite some users finding the app easy to use for simple tax filings and appreciating the option for professional review, the overall feedback is overwhelmingly negative. Many reviews highlight significant issues such as unexpected and high costs, often contradicting claims of "free" filing, along with persistent app instability including glitches, loading failures, and difficulties in accessing documents. Users frequently report problems with tax calculation accuracy, resulting in IRS notices, as well as prolonged delays or complete loss of tax refunds.
