"Didn’t feel totally safe with my account"
I got a little uneasy using TaxHawk because the account security felt kind of “too easy” to get through. Maybe everything is actually fine, but when it comes to taxes and all that personal info, I need to feel like my data is really protected. I ended up stopping because I just didn’t feel “comfortable” keeping my information on there.

"I used taxhawk this year, the deduction..."
I used taxhawk this year, the deduction and credit sections didn’t help me as much as I expected. It asked plenty of questions, but I still found myself Googling what actually counted and what didn’t?! Some of the credit explanations were short, so I wasn’t totally sure I was choosing the right options. The filing itself worked fine, but the guidance felt kind of weak if you don’t already know your way around taxes.

"E-file felt like a drama queen"
My state return failed twice, and the error message was about as helpful as a confused fortune cookie. I did get it submitted eventually, but the whole thing turned into a little stress parade I wasn’t trying to join.

"I tried using TaxHawk this year, and..."
I tried using TaxHawk this year, and at first it seemed totally fine. But then the tax numbers kept changing even after I entered the same info again, which made my confidence drop off a cliff. I started feeling like I was playing some terrifying guessing game with my refund. I ended up double-checking everything in another tax software, and it gave me a different number, so that didn’t exactly calm me down. Maybe I missed a step somewhere, but it really shouldn’t feel that confusing. It wasn’t a total disaster, but I definitely wouldn’t trust it blindly.

"Refund was exactly what I expected"
So yeah, my refund ended up matching to the dollar, which was the main thing I was nervous about. I filed quickly, waited to see if anything would change later, and... nope, it stayed the same. Really glad it was accurate.

"Import Worked, But It Was a Bit Annoying"
The prior-year import was decent and definitely saved me some time, but it wasn’t perfect. A few numbers didn’t come over correctly, so I had to go back and double-check things myself. Not a huge deal, and I still got everything done, but it was kind of annoying...

"The data entry part was confusing"
I had a hard time with the data entry part because half the time I couldn’t tell what the boxes were even supposed to mean and I kept second guessing what I was putting in, it just wasn’t very clear.

"I went in hoping for a simple experience..."
I went in hoping for a simple experience, but it started to feel like every step had another add-on being offered. A couple of suggestions would’ve been fine, but after a while the upsells got distracting and made the whole thing feel less straightforward than I wanted.

"Audit support was actually helpful"
I used TaxHawk this year and, of course, I ended up getting an audit notice. I kind of panicked when I saw it because I had no idea what I was supposed to do next.

Their audit support was easy to get in touch with, and the person I talked to explained the letter in plain English. I appreciated that they didn’t make me feel silly for asking really basic questions.
It wasn’t instant, and there was some back and forth to figure out what documents I needed, but they helped me get everything together. I’m definitely glad I had the support, because it would’ve been a much bigger headache on my own.

"No Surprise Fees, Just Honesty"
I really appreciated that the prices were clear from the start. There were no hidden charges or last-minute surprises, which made the whole experience feel simple and stress-free. it was such a relief to know exactly what I was paying for.

"State Filing Fee Felt Hard to Justify"
The federal filing part was totally fine and straightforward. What bothered me was the extra cost for the state filing. I get that taxes are never exactly fun, but when you’re already trying to be responsible and get everything done right, that added fee just makes the process feel a little more frustrating than it needs to be.

"Got it done way quicker than I expected"
I didn’t think I’d be done that fast, but taxhawk was really easy to get through. I had my taxes filed in about 30 minutes, and I didn’t have no issues with slow pages or extra hassle.

"Hit a wall with missing tax forms"
I gave Taxhawk a shot for my return, and at first it seemed like it was going to be straightforward. Then I got to the part where I needed certain forms and schedules, and they just weren’t supported. Like… make it make sense. I had already spent time entering everything, only to find out I couldn’t actually finish there.
It might be fine if your taxes are super simple, but if you have anything even slightly outside the basics, definitely check their form list before you start. I ended up having to redo my return somewhere else, which was frustrating.

"I gave TaxHawk a shot for my federal..."
I gave TaxHawk a shot for my federal return because I figured it would be a cheaper, simple way to get it done. it ended up feeling clunky, and I didn’t feel like I was getting much value out of it.
I had to double-check way too much on my own, and the help sections didn’t really make things clearer. When people are trusting a tax service with something this important, it should feel more reliable and straightforward. For federal filing, I’d rather spend a little more somewhere else.

"Support took longer than I expected"
I used taxhawk this year, the actual filing process went smoothly for me at first. I started working on my return over the weekend and felt like I was making decent progress without too much confusion.

Then I ran into a question with my state return, and that’s where things got frustrating. I sent a message that evening, but the first response I got the next day felt generic, like it didn’t really address what I had asked.
After going back and forth for a couple more days, someone finally gave me an answer that helped. By that point, though, I was already stressed and behind where I wanted to be. The price is definitely good, but I really wish the support side was faster and more useful.

"Fine for W-2, just a little clunky with 1099"
Taxhawk was just fine for my W-2, and that part was easy to get through. My 1099 stuff took a bit more clicking around than I expected, and I just had to go back and double-check a few entries. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t exactly super smooth either. I got it done in the end.

"Honestly kind of hard to use"
I really wanted to like it but it just felt confusing to me. I kept getting stuck and had to figure out where things were so overall it was kind of frustrating.

"Got it done, but the site was a pain to navigate"
TaxHawk did technically get my taxes filed, but man, getting around the site was more annoying than it needed to be. I kept clicking back and forth trying to figure out where I was in the process, and a few pages didn’t really make it obvious what I was supposed to do next. It wasn’t a disaster, just clunky and way slower than I expected. And when I ran into issues, the responses felt like those canned “sorry for the inconvenience” apologies, which just made it more irritating

"I used the chat help it was just..."
I used the chat help it was just okay. I’m probably a little impatient when it comes to support chats, but some of the replies felt slower than I’d like.
