In general I was happy with the product. But one big issue was that the accuracy check failed to flag that one of my 1099 forms had been imported twice resulting in a much larger tax bill than I actually owed. I discovered this myself only after filing my taxes, so I had to file an amended return to try to get my overpayment returned. It seems that if there are multiple1099s (or similar statements) with identical values, that would be easy to flag as an error in the software. Please make sure this is resolved in the 2025 release.

Due to a family emergency I had to file an extension at the last minute. The simpleset of all submissions. H&R Block charged me $20 for the "priviledge" of e-filing an extension.
No more! I won't use H&R Block in the future. They got me for $20, but lost a cutomer.
This is the same company that was busted for selling your income information without consent a few years back. Slime ball move.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

I paid way more than I expected. I believe that when the IRS reviews the return they will be issuing a refund.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare

Some things were not clear - for example, on 1099 Misc, box 10 was greyed out and wouldn't let me enter a number. However, the directions still told me to enter a number in box 10!
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

In the past I have been satisfied with your software (SW). In the present, not so much. Last year, the whole debacle with your efile server down on tax day wasted a lot of my time with that mess. Then this year, I had "Sales of Personal Items at a Loss" on my return. I entered the 1099-k info per the interview, and the amount did then show up on schedule D at the top of the form like it should. But when I would try and print my official form, your SW would not include the schedule D. That is like ignoring the 1099-k in the IRS eyes! Your algorithm seemed to be looking for a non-zero number on the form for the numbered lines. But failing to find the value inputed by the SW on the unnumbered line at top of form.
On the Bogleheads forum, someone did post a work-around to trick the software into working. You can read about it here:
I have been recommended to use FreeTaxUSA by numerous people, and am going to give that a try next year.

Had issues with app connecting to the internet. Something with proxy settings. Never had this issue with previous versions of the app. After proxy fix all went well.
