Every time I opened it this year it begged me to register. So they could capture my personal information to market to next year, or try to get me to “subscribe.” It seemed to also prompt again at exit.

Really irritated me that I couldn’t opt out permanently but had to click skip every single time.

And I’m tired of the progress bars pretending to be calculating in order to make me feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.

And yet I buy it begrudgingly every year because it is what I know, and it imports data fairly well from my online accounts.

Do the alternative brands import w2’s and previous year’s turbo tax files? Does it integrate with online brokers for pulling 1099’s?
