There were a few issues that I was not certain about, but the software helped me out. I had a new heat pumped installed and was not sure how to apply for the energy credit.
Pros: Maximizes refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have purchased and used the product for many years. I used to use turbo tax in the past, but they out priced themselves and I felt it was silly to buy theirs when hrb works just as well for less than half the cost.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

For many years, I have been a fan, but now, not so much. I have been trying to get the Earned Income Credit for my daughter. She qualifies for the EIC, but the software keeps saying that she doesn't (for illogical reasons) Also, the search function is extremely weak. You get no results when you search on words like "Enhanced Senior Discount" or "tips", even though these are important new topics for tax year 2025.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used the software for probably eight to ten years after using a competing brand before that. The federal portion has generally been A+, I’ve had no problems at all. The state software has been quirky in one section involving state pensions. Otherwise, it has functioned well.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
