I’ve been using the software for more than 5 years. This year was the least pleasant of all. 1) I’m on their mailing list. When I got the email to buy this years version, it was supposed to be the best available price. It was available online for less from other vendors. 2) it was unreliable early in January. I entered one return twice and it crashed out before I decided to wait a week for an update. 3) updates were happening after I filed. Did the updates change my taxes? Who knows? 4) charging me to file my state taxes has been an issue the whole time. Why isn’t that included? 5) When I tried to pay online using my credit card, they wanted to charge a percentage of the amount. It wasn’t ovbvious til I got too far in that that corporate tax on my federal tax would be happening. I wasn’t able to back out and pay by check online. I ended up printing and mailing my return. Overall, I’m inclined to look elsewhere for next years return.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as good as past years. Missing key parts . Couldn't efile state because of forms. Now have to wait 1 weeks. I also don't think it calculated my social security right. First time ever I owed and it was substantial. Watched refund calculator on side and when I entered my 6k senior deduction it never changed
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Software set up time seems to be taking longer each year, even though I have been using this product for well over a decade.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Hard to import documents
