I have used TurboTax for at least 5 years and always purchased the entry level package now it says because I have charitable deductions (which I do every year) I HAVE to upgrade to the $70 package.

Exact same thing is happening to me. I paid $45 last year for 2 returns and this time it’s $70 x 2 which is a huge increase- it’s making me do it because of charitable donations which does not make my return complicated. I don’t understand.

Please check out our TurboTax Online pricing here as you may have been using the TurboTax US instead of Canada.

Ya they lost me as a customer as well. Literally any other option is cheaper. We just have to deal with it being less user friendly. It’s nothing to do with what you clicked or how u filed. They are just money hungry. Just forked over 176$ to file my taxes. Absolutely absurd. Would be cheaper for me to just have someone else file for me. 8 years of paying these guys and now I’m officially done.

I used to pay $40 online per person, because I had to buy the Premium to report some small rental income. Now it is asking $130 per couple? No way, a complete scam. I am moving to H&R Block which charges $70 per couple and it is a very comparable software, some people have told me it is even better.

You can purchase TurboTax software at a local retailer near you for a better price.

Your prices increase make no sense from 2023 to today. We are a group of 7 friends filing taxes with Turbotax for years now and you have managed to lose all of us as customers. Onto new alternatives that are not trying to gouge us.
