I bought this because it keeps all my records local on my computer instead of a cloud.
Pros: Easy to prepare

After completing the questionnaire for both Fed and State the software started crashing on Accuracy Review every time! I even tried to ignore and just file electronically, crashed there too! Contacted support via chat twice and phone once never resolved. Finally had to complete uninstall (instructions provided by support) re-install, reboot and then carefully start my return from scratch. Luckily was able to get through successfully without crashing and filed. But very painful/time-consuming and worrisome.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quick, easy and very familiar with years past. With consistent format from previous years it is easy to enter all the information you need to file your taxes. Help is there is there if you need it. I'll be buying it again with 100% certainty.
Pros: Maximizes refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
Overall software is poor and the AI feature is useless. You really need a lot of knowledge about taxes to use the software. The software provides very little assistance.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
