Don't be fooled by standard or itemized deduction.

I was disappointed in the fact that the program changed from previous years in the interview process. In the past, the program would ask for Standard Deduction or Itemized deduction, and let you fill out itemized deductions, then itself would recommend and choose the better after the interview. It did not recommend or give me a choice after the interview. This caused me to file using much smaller standard deduction, and then having to do an amended return afterwards to fix that mistake.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used H&R software for many years. All went well until this year:My financial Advisor who oversees my IRA changed companies - therefore I got TWO 1099-Rs for the same account 1) before May 2025 & 2) after May 2025. My first trial to file was caught by the software as "insufficient withdrawal of RMD". When the mistake was corrected the Red Flag at review was not removed so I waited and sweat for 5 weeks while additional forms appeared in several updates. All well at the end but at 87 I don't need that kind of excitement.
Pros: Easy to prepare

The software for MAC has numerous issues. The most glaring issue is that "Help" button does not work, it doesn't do anything. The automatic updater demands an update every time the software is opened. It downloads and reinstalled the update it just updated over and over. There are confusing terms used and no help to clarify. If you have a more complicated return, you will see these issues
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I think the process of preparing the tax returns is pretty easy and covers all the bases Very disappointed that the tax computation for capital gains tax is considered proprietary It is not proprietary It is what the IRS sets forth You should make it available to the taxpayer
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

Mostly does the job. But there is no useful help. Had to go to chatgpt for answers to tax questions. Basically its a form filler.
