Generally, the software worked well. One area that was painful was the investment stock trade entry-by-entry approval and always having to go back to the list to select next entry. Very tiresome. Need to be able to accept all trades with one click.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

It wasn’t difficult, but I found the explanations of why I needed this entry or that entry were lacking. Also, the IRS said what I made could be put in my IRA but the software assessed me a penalty for what I deposited. It was under what I made AND WAYYY below my allowed deposit.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased the federal and state and it would not allow me to send state. At the end, there was an option to pay for state.

Program works OK, but it gets a little more complicated each year. Probably because of the tax law changes.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents

My husband's company paid taxes to all states where he worked remotely last year, which meant that we had to file five state tax returns. I am the primary filer since I'm the one who does the job of filing for us as a married couple each year. But because he was the only one to earn income in Virginia last year, the Virginia return required that he be the primary filer ... on our federal return too. That meant going through the entire federal return, which I had already completed, and swapping our positions on the form. This screwed up everything pertaining to our W-2s, IRAs, employer info, etc. throughout the federal return, and we basically had to do the entire thing over again. In addition to that, there was no guidance about how to account for taxes paid to non-resident states on our resident state return. It was an hours-long miserable experience that required much internet research.
Cons: Time consuming
