Intuit - Turbo Tax is a rip off
I brought Turbo Tax from Office Max and found out Turbo Tax is now charging for the state download. I paid $60 for the federal and found out I now need to spend an additional $34 for the state as well as $20 for the state download.
Turbo Tax is a rip off.
You can find Tax Act for $17.95 and it includes both state and federal return plus free e-filing of your federal return.
I have used Turbo Tax for years and as of this year and Turbo Tax's gauging, I am using Tax Act as it is a better value! Enough is enough Turbo Tax!

Merry maids not so merry
I requested a quote from Merry Maids and they called me back. I could not understand a word this woman was saying. When all was said and done, she quoted me $90.00 an hour for a one bedroom condo. I kindly told her no thank you and hung up on her. Needless to say Merry Maids is a rip off and I would NEVER use them. What *** are people pulling today. From the government and its socialism to the individual who believe that they can screw American. This country was founded on democracy, the freedom of choice. I used my freedom of choice! Enough is enough!

McQueen Builders can't get the job done right!!!!!!!
I hired McQueen Builders located in Fountain Valley, California to build a simple gate to my property. He used the cheapest and the most mismatched redwood pieces he could find and threw it together. He had nail marks showing and slapped it together. I emailed and called him and he has been unresposive. I wrote a complaint and sent it to the California State Contractor Board. I would soooo recommend that NO ONE use this company. He does unprofessional work. He does not return calls or emails. He does not stand behind his work. I hope the state contractor board revokes his license. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE NO ONE USE HIM! HE WILL ONLY STEAL AND GIVE YOU EXCUSES.

SERVICE MAGIC
Service Magic is a crock of a company. They are more interested in their finder fees and their contractors are more interested in their feedback than they are in the consumer. For example: I hired H & A Powerwashing. They charged me $190 for things around the house. That was fine. I asked Hector for an estimate for some other things and told him to email me. He said he wanted me to fill out the questionnaire. About mid week, I had not heard from him and called. He was more anxious about his rating than providing me with a bid for the additional work. What a bad businessman. I won't use him again. Service magic recommended J & M construction and he came out but NEVER got back to me. Service magic recommended McQueen Builders. He came out bid it and then did a lousy job. Just goes to show that Service Magic has struck out with me. I reported Service Magic to the Federal Trade Commission as well as McQueen Builders. I also reported them to the Better Business Bureau. I reported McQueen Builders to the California State Contractors Board. My recommendation: STAY AWAY FROM SERVICE MAGIC AND MCQUEEN BUILDERS LOCATED IN FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Mcqueen Builders And Home Repairs - McQueen Construction is a rip off
McQueen Construction located on Talbert Ave. in Fountain Valley is a rip off. McQueen the owner does not know how to repair or build anything. He works through Service Magic and has to pay a fee for a referral. McQueen Construction built a gate out of the cheapest wood, made nail marks in the wood, used unmatched grains, and left huge spaces in the board. Actually, he bought the wood from Home Depot and did not allow drying time for shrinkage. He hyped his quote for other items to pay his fee to service magic. He is a dishonest and unprofessional. He has no ethics and talks a great game to get business.

Service Magic and their contractors are a rip-off!
I had this contractor put up a gate. It was made from redwood. He did not match sides or hide the nail marks. He left gaps in between the boards. I kept calling and emailing and finally he came back and made it worse. I called Service Magic and they are refusing to do anything. I guess money is much more important than people. Do not use Service Magic. My gates will cost more in the long run because I will need to have it rebuilt. Boooooo on Service Magic! Never. never, ever use Service Magic or their substandard contractors!!!!!

Turbo tax is a rip off. I did mine online. They say it is free..it cost 80 dollars by the time I was through....free my lilly white be-hind!!!
Turbo Tax cost me more than they got me in my return. could have saved money going to Walmart. I will never use turbo tax again
Last year I used Turbo Tax, let it fill in the state part-all online. I decided not to file with the State and they told me too bad.
Said I used their software to do the State so they were charging me for it.
Already had my charge card info. This year it looked like you could opt out of the state, but I didn't take that chance.
They tried to gouge me also. Done with these *** artists. Hope they lose all their customers and go out of business
I also was just cheated out of money. I clicked for the 39.95 option and after I entered my credit card I was told my card was being processed for $89.95.
I will never give business to this scam operation again.
So i took the option for 34$.. Filled out my tax forms, nothing was brought to my attention that the price had changed.
Put in my creditcard number. Hit the "pay now" button, and recieved "Thank you for your payment of 74$".
Clearly a case of electronic theft through deception. Class action lawsuit anyone?
canadian version no better. My spouse is disabled, i picked the diasabled button then relized we had not recieved the papers from Revenue Canada yet so i unchecked the button and finished my taxes, paid and went to file.
Reponse was cant becasue we did not have the form. Customer service said sorry nothing we can do and would not refund my money.
In the 4 years I have used TT I have seen their fees go up at least 400%. This year they charged me $96.00 to do a 1040A and a state return.
I could probably have them done at an real tax service for that. This is my last year using TT.
Why is it Turbo Tax charging after the advertisement of Free Online service. My taxes are pretty simple..
took 45 minutes to do... did them last year as cost of $15.95 (for state filing)... now they want $60.46...
I want this payment stopped and have called the bank to stop payment... Do others have a similar ISSUE with Turbo Tax?
So recently I noticed a charge on my bank statement that indicated Quickbooks Monthly Charge. Hmm, I don't use QuickBooks, so I Googled their number and called. The first lady I spoke with took some info and transferred me to another lady. Let me interject here that it's obviously an Indian call center.
Second lady takes more info and says it's coming from TurboTax and she can't help me please hold and she'll transfer me. Currently I've been on the phone for 20 minutes and have paid an extra $200 over the past few months for something that I have received no value from in return. I'll post a follow-up when/if I ever get this resolved.
NO MORE TURBOTAX FOR ME!
