I have used this software several years and found it easy to use. However, I think there is flaw in the 2025 application to form 1116, line 18. The program does NOT make the subtraction of line 14 of Form 1040-SR which reduces my foreign tax credit substantially.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been using this software and it's predecessors for about 30 years or so. It's always easy to use and logical. I had a somewhat complex home sale and it was good but lacked some guidance that would have helped.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used this software several years for a small business. This year the software wouldn't let me e-file because of Form 8962. Online groups state its a bug that didn't get addresses in weekly updates. Had to file by paper to complete this year.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

The software was effective for my federal return, though less intuitive than Turbotax. However, it did not work well for my New York state return: it was very rigid and wouldn't let me override certain traditional, default responses to some interview questions. Also, I noted an instance on the state return where the software clearly miscalculated and carried over this mistake to my return. Once again, the software wouldn't let me override the miscalculation.
Cons: Hard to prepare
