Review:
This company and their software are deplorable. I am a CPA who specializes in income taxes and a frequent user of this software until 2008-2009. The multitude of errors compounded with no customer support and flat out incorrect advice should be grounds for this company to be shut down.
For example, if you are claiming the home buyers tax credit, you are required to paper file your return, i.e. you cannot e-file and claim the credit. Taxslayer's official advise is to go ahead and e-file your return, then file an amended paper return and home buyer form, at additional cost (read income to taxslayer).
Now, if I were to give this advice to a client I would be fully expecting to be fired. A simple solution is to merely print the return from Taxslayer and submit via certified mail. Not to mention, filing an amededed return greatly increases IRS scutiny of your return.
All in all, buyer beware of this program and company.. Kyle K |
