Not Quite Good Enough

I've been using this for my simple return and for a friend who doesn't really need to file. It's fine for those returns. But a friend begged me to do his return and I agreed, eve though I knew his was more complicated. This software caused his return to be rejected because it didn't include a form that the interview process didn't cue. Granted I'm not as familiar with this one, but if the interview had mentioned Form 1095-A, the return would not have been rejected originally. Also, the software font is extremely small and I have not found a way to increase or magnify it. It's horribly difficult to read!!!
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
This year I needed to file extension and, after reviewing my data, the software reflected what I thought was a refund. The "amount of tax owed" showed an amount in brackets. Normally, an amount in brackets () is a negative, meaning a refund. After filing my return, I was surprised that I owed money, rather than receive a refund. I guess I need to pay more attention to the way the software reports numbers.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have used H&R Block Deluxe tax software for many years. Just follow instructions, answer questions, import tax documents,... to maximize the return, file online and receive return directly deposit to your bank account
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I got a bill from the IRS and I went back to the program to see if I could find the error and there was no record of my return! I had filed online, so it was there, but somehow it's gone
Your software calculation of sales tax deduction was different than the amount I received using the IRS sales tax calculation software.
i needed to call up the Schedule A form in your program to enter the sales tax for the second state I lived in in 2022. I needed to find this capability on my own. You did not direct me to it.
You warned me that if I wanted to QCD the income amount from my IRA I would need to file my return as a paper return. Good luck getting refund from a paper return in a reasonable time. Lucklly for me I did not use QCD this year.
