What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

The only thing that was confusing was the value of the car. They use a system that checks the value of my vehicle, but it also changes periodically. I was happy when my car showed a higher value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Credit Karma Tax?

Credit Karma taxes worked as well as a paid online tax sites (which I used in past years), but was completely free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

Nothing I dislike. Usually companies give either free state or free federal taxes, and charge for the other. With Credit Karma tax I didn't pay anything at all, and was able to file both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Credit Karma Tax:

I recommend switching to Credit Karma Tax because it allows you to file federal and state taxes completely free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Credit Karma Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

Credit Karma Tax helped me pay my taxes without any additional costs at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Credit Karma Tax?

I love that not only does this let me do more than just the most basic tax forms, but it also teaches me what the different portions of my taxes are along the way. I like, for the most part, how it simplifies everything down to a level that is easy to understand and makes it easy for me to learn to file my taxes all on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

On one hand, having everything simplified is great, however in some areas I wish there was a way to learn in depth about what the different portions mean. It'd be nice to have something like a question mark you could click on that would lead you to a section that has more in depth information on what this is and why your return is what it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Credit Karma Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

This allows me to have a history of my tax returns in the cloud, which is very nice. I don't like to store away papers, so this seems to be a safe, secure place to go review the taxes that I have submitted in past years. I really appreciate knowing where they are, and what my returns were, and having it all online in a safe space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Credit Karma Tax?

The way the forms are put is very easy. When I started filling my taxes, I was worried how long it will take me, but when I was using credit Karma Tax, I finished filing without knowing. It took me less than 20 minutes to find all the forms I need and completing everything. What made it the best is the ability to search for forms. It made the process faster. Ad up to that, it saves all the info and keeps reminding me of the taxes and where I left of to finish the filing. The bottom line is, its for users who don't want to learn the tax code to file, for the people who want to do it themselves without asking anyone. I think I will be using it for long term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

So far, I cant say there is anything I dislike about it. It made everything easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Credit Karma Tax:

The way the Credit karma is designed is very user friendly, for people who even if they dont know how to file, it will help them finish the filing with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Credit Karma Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

having to look for and easy and cheap way to do the taxes without the hassle of having to pay extra for the same results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Credit Karma Tax?

I have done my own taxes for many years now with tax software. This is the second year in a row that I’ve used Credit Karma Tax software to do my taxes and I love it! Not only is it free to file and use their software, it’s easy. I like the step-by-step process, and ability to add as many forms as you need (especially for scenarios where you have lots of deductions and various forms of income), the assurance that you are covered 100 percent if you are audited, and the ability to download and print previous years taxes since they archive for free as well. Did I mention...this is all FREE? That’s what I like best for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

The only thing I can say, with 100 percent honesty is that I would have nothing to dislike had I not needed to file a multi-state return for 2017. That is THE only thing I dislike about Credit Karma Tax software. If you are in this situation, don’t use the software because it’s gets a bit complicated with regards to state filing and isn’t equipped to handle this. For Federal filing, however, it’s golden! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Credit Karma Tax:

Highly recommend. Even for complicated filing scenarios where many forms are needed. Though you do need to feel comfortable and familiar with computers, automated tax software and the latest tax law changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Credit Karma Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping expenses down however I can with my taxes and filing. Especially now, since the tax laws have changed and little things like deducting your tax prep and filing is no longer allowed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Credit Karma Tax?

The clear benefit is that it is integrated with your credit scores, which credit karma does well. Very bright and clean interface with cute graphics and overall feel throughout. Guides you well through the steps and e-filing.

And it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

I had income from two different states and it was unable to handle either of my state returns because of this. Otherwise I didn't have any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Credit Karma Tax:

If your tax situation is very simple and straightforward, this will be sufficient. If it is evenly slightly complex, the free version of turbo tax is just as easy to use and is capable of dealing with more complex situations. Perhaps in a few years Credit Karma Tax will be equivalent, but it's not there yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Credit Karma Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

Just used for my taxes last year -- would have done state and federal, but only federal worked for my return. Was a good process for my first time filing without outside help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Credit Karma Tax?

It is simple to use. Everything automatically syncs. There is no need to be constantly imputing or remembering all your accounts. This one account remembers everything for you, tells you when payments are needed and which accounts to focus on. If you're looking for a new card it even tells you what cards are will be the ones that you'll get approved in so you won't hurt your credit with hard inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

There isn't much that I dislike. Everything is well organized and accurate. If I had to name one thing, I would probably just wish that the app synced more frequently to your accounts and show weekly accuracy on your account details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Credit Karma Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problems that I am able to help is my customers build their credit. This app helps me give them a very detailed guide as how to fix and improve their credit. I can help them decide the right time to apply for a card based on either their score or the pre-determined cards. This helps them have less unecessary inquires.

What do you like best about Credit Karma Tax?

I love the Credit Karma app, so it only makes sense that I use Credit Karma to complete my income taxes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Credit Karma Tax?

I don't think there's anything I dislike, I just wish that information from previous filing years was more easily transferred to the Credit Karma system. I would also like if there was an option to directly settle outstanding debts owed on your credit report using your tax refund. It would proactively address debt before individuals received their refund-- Double bonus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Credit Karma Tax:

I think that Credit Karma is definitely headed in the right direction! They have such a wonderful presence already and has made everyday individuals more aware of issues affecting their credit and potentially holding them back from advancing personally and professionally. I would recommend their services and app to all of my family members and many of my friends. It's important to life and I want to ensure that my network is completely set up for the best success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Credit Karma Tax solving and how is that benefiting you?

Everyone has to pay taxes, and I want to be sure that I process my taxes and receive the best possible refund (if any) in the quickest amount of time! Because of this quick process, I am able to allocate the time spent on other work and personal projects, and I can receive my tax refund expeditiously. It's important to feel empowered and in control when completing this process, and I encourage my network of family and friends to do the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
