    The micro transactions alone should knock this score down to a 2!

    While not as flashy, FreeTaxUSA provides a nearly identical experience for the base price for free and additional DLCs are a fraction of the price as Turbotax.

      Their review forgot to mention the incredible number of crossovers supported from other financial titles. In most cases you can directly load cloud saves from all kinds of other releases in the genre from a vast number of publishers. Really helps reduce grinding.

      As far as I know FreeTaxUSA can only support saves that you manually replay in their game.

        Actually FreeTaxUSA supports saves from TurboTax, and other similar titles! It was very seamless.

        After all, they want to compete with them.

        Players should also be aware that TurboTax’s game publishers lobby Congress to ensure that their game genre survives, keeping the government from providing a simpler alternative to their game.
