TaxCaster Customer Insights

1. I try to monitor my taxes closely to make sure I am having enough deducted and such so the big discrepancy this year was a shocker.Very wrong! This app showed a refund of $17,000!! I knew that was ABSOLUTELY WRONG! I use TurboTax anyway so when I did my taxes last week I knew we would not be getting a refund like that.

2. It was $12,000 off from actual refund! And yes, I entered all info correctly into TaxCaster so I'm not sure how it came up with that number.I have used this app for 5 years or so and it's always been spot on, even though I don't like the results, but they are what they are.

3. Remember, the payments made in 2021 were 6 months advance, per child, (for those that received all 6 months.) There is a 6 month bulk amount clamable, per child, on one's 2021 taxes as well.

4. Bizarre!!Edit: Since the newest update, it will give the correct refund amount, HOWEVER- you have to enter all information, it will give an amount that is roughly $2,000 less than it should be.

5. you also have to close the app and reopen it to get the correct refund amount otherwise it's the wrong amount until then.

6. new updated number was close to my refund amount but off by 600 dollars.Refund estimate was wayyy off.

7. To the dollar.I have had the taxcaster for the past 5 years and it has always been very accurate.

8. Hope it's updated soon.Waaay off for taxes to be filed in 2022.

9. The web version is equally inaccurate for me.i have used this app for a few years and this is the first time ever it was wrong.

10. When i actually went to file my taxes, i was told i will only be getting $6,927.

11. It over estimates by A LOT giving false hope to those who are in dier need of their refund.
