I've used it for years and really like the user interface "interview" style. However, occasionally there will be a small bug in the Apple/Mac version of the software. Also, there are some forms that it does not provide systematically, but instead, helps you print the form for calculations (e.g., if you receive a lump sum from disability you have to calculate it yourself and plug the figures). Overall, it's a good product and I will continue to use it going forward.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been using HRB tax software for many years and have been satisfied. One thing that changed in my situation this year was that I needed to report digital asset activity. I was very disappointed to find that HRB required importing the activity through one of 2 third-party apps, and unless you have very few transactions this requires extra costs. I believe TurboTax can import the activity directly from the crypto exchanges (at least the one that I use), so next year I may switch to TurboTax.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
Cons: Hard to import documents

The way the questions were presented was clear and made answering them straight forward, which was very helpful. But the software overall was frustrating to use. I was asked for my email address and phone number MANY times. For some strange reason the software text was blurry on my Windows 11 laptop when all other applications have crisp text. And the user interface and ways that software updates were handled very much felt like a product from the 1990s.
