Their software guided me through my 2020 tax returns that were filed electronically, however they included a $1200.00 deduction that was later flagged by the IRS an invalid (see attach) so now I’m paying an additional $1200.00 tax bill.
Just to be clear I have no tax prep expertise and rely solely on tax prep software to file my taxes. The deduction referenced above was assigned via their standard interview process and not chosen by me nor inserted manually. In addition their software gave no warning pop-ups or other signs that anything was amiss, rather I was given an “all green light” that my return was safe.
