TaxSlayer vs TurboTax - Direct Deposit Experience and Reviews Needed
Thinking of switching from TurboTax to TaxSlayer this year. Anyone know if TaxSlayer is reliable with direct deposits? Been using TurboTax for years but looking to try something different. Need to know if theres any weird delays or issues I should know about.

I've used both. TaxSlayer works exactly the same way for direct deposit as TurboTax. You enter your bank info during filing, and the IRS deposits directly to your account. The only difference is TaxSlayer is usually cheaper. Just make sure you double check all your numbers - bank account, routing number etc before submitting.

ā¢Thanks! How long did your refund take to hit your account with TaxSlayer?

ā¢Got mine in 21 days, pretty standard timing. No different than when I used TurboTax tbh

Hey guys, instead of guessing about refund timing, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refunds. It costs $1 but its worth it - tells you exactly whats happening with your refund and when to expect it. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

ā¢Does it work with any tax software or just specific ones? š¤

ā¢Works with any tax software! It reads your IRS transcript directly, doesn't matter how you filed

Both r good but taxslayer interface is more basic. If ur comfortable doing taxes its fine but turbotax holds ur hand more

Just make sure you triple check everything on TaxSlayer. The software is good but doesn't catch mistakes like TurboTax does. But yeah DD works fine, got mine in 2 weeks last year š
