TurboTax Self-Employed is an intuitive and easy-to-use tool to help small business owners and independent contractors file their taxes with ease. The software walks you step-by-step through the entire filing process, and everything is easy to understand. There is life help and the ability to ask and answer questions along the way. It also provides reviews to ensure everything is being done correctly. It reduces time greatly and is far more convenient than making an appointment with an accountant or filing by paper. I also like the integration of Quickbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am always looking to reduce costs and am always a fan of reducing the price for the services I use. Otherwise, I have nothing else to note here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very simple to use, and helpful from the start of the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Charge might be too much for a lot of users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is easy to follow and there is plenty of contextual help to explain tax items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is ridden with bugs that display incorrect information regarding taxes. With TurboTax, it is very likely that the tax return you file will be different from what you sign your name on. Their customer support team is among the worst in the world, so they will not investigate these software bugs. They will do nothing to rectify the situation or protect you as a customer of several years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a writer, I have a lot of business expenses to track, and TurboTax does an amazing job at identifying all the deductions I am eligible for. From home office expenses to travel costs for book signings, it covers every base. The integration with QuickBooks Self-Employed is another lifesaver because all my expenses and income are automatically imported into the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As much as I love how easy it makes filing my taxes, the price can feel steep, especially if you are a freelancer or author just starting out. The additional fees for filing state returns and accessing certain features, like audit support, can add up quickly. While the value is definitely there for the convenience and expertise, it is something to consider if you are working with a tight budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy and intuitive interface with ease of use and amazing feedback

The way it loops between categories and adjust previous categories if you miss some. And also the review is thorough.

Customer support is also amazing, either be it the public and free for technical issues or the access for additional tax expertise.

Being easy to implement within the process of the business and being able to use it easily across the year to add details and invoices and lighten the task duty comes tax season. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to obtain a brand new license each year, it would be better if you pay multiyear license that gets you an update every year for a fee rather than a new license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upsides would be a low cost to entry, strong customer support, and a easy to use, good UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was least helpful identifying ways you could increase your tax savings. It would be nice if they gave more personalized support in this regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really easy to use and follow interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, it was wholly ineffective. I've never made less money and paid so much in tax as when using TurboTax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to import tax documents into the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some additional help / guidance for each form would be beneficial Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that when it works, it's smooth and easy. As long as you have simple taxes, it can be a great product. Even if you have complicated taxes, it can be pretty decent. Everything is all good until the product breaks.

It's something that you just use once a year, but after you invest hours entering things in, you find out that it lacks the most basic feature: being able to actually submit the taxes. It makes it really hard to implement as a tool for your taxes.

Another nice feature is that it integrates with your banks, but this also does not work all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently ran into a glitch. I was excited when TurboTax seemed ready to help with an online chat and screenshare. That's when I found out the ugly truth: The app (after I had finished entering EVERYTHING and spent 3 hours on taxes) had a glitch that would not let me submit. The guy on the chat tried to help, but after going through everything three times it would still not work.

Then he sent me to their engineering team, which sent me to a help article, which was just about doing the same thing over again. Now I'm stuck waiting 30+ minutes to try and get someone on the phone. It's terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has great UI/UX design which helped me extensively during my work term, as a beginner in the industry as well as a new individual in the country- this software was very easy to use and do my taxes. It also great links in with my bank account data for supporting my financial data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I don't think this is a negative just for this platform, it is worth mentioning that if the data is not inputted well it will predict your tax refunds wrong Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
