We filed our taxes last year using Taxslayer.com and I purposely waited 12 months, just in case we would get a nasty letter from the IRS telling us we did it all wrong and we owed them a bundle. To date we have not received a letter from the IRS, so I ...

Pros: Fast, easy, cheap.
Cons: If you use many forms, you need to know tax basics.

I normally don't like to say bad things about any type of company or service.. but I feel really rip ...

Pros: IRS finally settled it.
Cons: If I had owed the IRS, I would have had to pay a penalty.

TaxSlayer failed to send me a IRS reject announcement. When I filed my taxes on April 2, 2008, TaxSlayer approved it on April 8th. So I thought everything was okay. Come the middle part of June, I contacted the IRS as to WHY I had not yet received my ...

Pros: Fast, simple, good tech support, flow of data entry, did I mention fast.
Cons: Download troubles, not for the tax impaired.

I have done my own taxes for years. (Even the years I have tried various tax services like H&R Block) I must say, this is the first year I have actually enjoyed doing my taxes. Last year I used TurboTax, with some success. (It worked good, with minimal...

I had just recently started learning about taxes when I came across the TaxSlayer website. This site not only very accurate and easy to use, but it has taught me many things about taxes in a couple of weeks that would have otherwise taken a couple of...

Pros: FREE Download! It is VERY easy to use! I'll use it again!
Cons: I only need it once a year.

TaxSlayer was able to handle everything my tax return could throw at it. From multiple state returns to a lot of federal forms. I had a 1040, schedule A, schedule B, schedule C, 2106, moving expenses etc. Even with all I had on my return the program...

Pros: Very easy to use and inexpensive.
Cons: Large download.

TaxSlayer was a very easy program to use. Despite the 9.5 megabyte download, it was the best program I have found to do my taxes. At the cost of only $9.95 to e-file federal and state taxes for direct deposit, it is the best bargain I have found. The...

Pros: Easy to use and FREE download. Only charged if you file electronically.

Pros: The Wizard to help beginners through.
Cons: NO Customer Support
No way to call them
They DONT answer eMail
Program times out

This turned out horribly for me, but started great. I have always went to H and R Block in the past, but have grown sick with the fee's. I decided to try Taxslayer against my wifes wishes. I had no trouble with putting in my info, and seemed like ...

Pros: Inexpensive
Can file both federal and state taxes.
Simple interface.
Cons: Software errors abound.
Return rejected due to taxslayer's errors.
Terrible customer support.

I typically file my taxes very early in the year (i.e. end of February at the latest) using some sort of on-line software.  I filed my 2008 taxes using TaxSlayer.  It appealed to me because I have a low income and could file both my federal and ...

Pros: Thought the price was good.
Cons: Too scared to use again because of this very costly error.

WARNING: I got a bill from the IRS that I owe them money from my 2006 return filed with Taxslayer.com. I figured out the software added both my federal taxes and FICA into one field...2 years later the mistake is realized and I owe plus interest. I answered the questionnaire correctly for the W-2 as I see them separate elsewhere on the form so I feel certain it was a software bug. I used the software online. I will be interested to hear if this becomes a larger reported problem than myself.
