| 2025-01-21 |  | | Lynn, one of the tax pros on there. She's very good at our job and very kind and got the job done correctly and help me find money that I was not able to find myself. |
| 2025-01-02 |  | | The detailed review screen, "Total Federal Taxe," does not add up with the other numbers above and below it, including the Refund. Also, please add the state estimate. |
| 2024-12-31 |  | | There is definitely something wrong with 2024. I can increase my dividend income from $10 to $1,000,000 and my refund goes up. |
| 2024-12-31 |  | | Taxcaster seens to have a bug. Current version is not calulating all of the income. I've been using this for years without any problems. |
| 2024-10-12 |  | | The detail review page lumps income taxed at different rates together. Capital Gains for example are lumped in with other income even though Longterm Capital Gains are taxed at lower rates than regular income. |
| 2023-12-27 |  | | Trash, inaccurate at best. Even more.mind blown that it doesn't connect with the their TurboTax app. It's trash too so not really surprising. Don't waste your time or moneywith this app or company. It will be better applied somewhere else. |
| 2023-12-06 |  | | I am single with no dependents, so the 2023 deduction should be 13,850, but instead, the updated 2023 version is using 20,800, which is the head of household deduction, so my refund is way overstated. This is disappointing since it has been useful in the past. Hope it gets fixed soon. |
| 2023-04-12 |  | | Incorrect calculations, which renders this app useless. Good thing I spotted their error. I'll pass filing with TurboTax and instead do them on my own. My calculations are accurate, this app is not. |
| 2023-02-15 |  | | It over estimates by A LOT giving false hope to those who are in dier need of their refund. I would've given it 5* had it been under estimated. It was over by $2,300. That is a huge miscalculation. Sure im still getting more than what i thought personally but its still $2,300 that i cant understand why it would assume so much more with a super simple single w-2. Makes no sense. It's nice to have for fun but USE CAUTION and dont get your hopes up. Updated app & now it's correct. Bizarre!! |
| 2022-10-16 |  | | I have used this app for 5 years or so and it's always been spot on, even though I don't like the results, but they are what they are. Problem right now is its not showing 2022 results, it still says 2021. Hope it's updated soon. |
