I've used this software for many years. Unfortunately, it is not getting better. In fact, it's becoming harder to use. This is not because taxes in general are more difficult to understand. Instead, it appears that whoever is setting up the prompts in the program software is not testing them on actual users. In my own case, I've prepared several returns this year. And in doing so I've come across several instances where the questions/prompts could be answered either way, and each would be correct! This is horribly confusing, and requires referring to the IRS regulations to understand what exactly is needed. That's not helpful, and simply makes the whole experience more difficult. I think I'll try TurboTax next time.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your product was average at best. I could not get your software to upload my account information from Merrill Lynch and T Rowe Price. I had to enter it manually. You have a ways to go to measure up to Turbo Tax.
Cons: Hard to import documents

I have been using this package (premium) for about 15 years now. The last couple years it has become increasingly difficult to use. This year I was unable to get it loaded on my windows 10 machine that I always use. With a great deal of help from a young lady at your help line (after an extended conversation with a worthless AI assistant) I was able to get the software working and finished my project in about 24 hours.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall, very easy to complete. I did qualify for the senior deduction, however, it was very difficult to see where that deduction actually took place. Other than that, I like all the tools and the updates accordingly.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

For the price, I would rather buy this instead of the other brand. This is my second year using HR and I will probably continue to use. Tax is made simple and straightforward in the app.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Time consuming

This tax prep product rated 4 stars because it could use some more clarification when it comes to inputting data. I kept coming up with a missing data warning when a particular item did not apply to our situation. It was rather disconcerting.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming
