It was ok. Not great. Regarding inherited IRA wording was bad. I inherited this from my spouse AND I chose to make it my own. How about I didn’t inherit this from my spouse BUT I STILL chose to make it my own.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

I've used this product for years. But it MAY have cost me a lot of money. Let me explain. The state of CT has somewhat recently developed a no-cost online income tax system for filing state taxes. I decided to try it out for tax year 2023. I was shocked!! The CT system calculated that my CT state income tax obligation for the 2023 year was more than $300 less than what the H&R software calculated. Obviously, I submitted that rather than what the H&R software calculated. I did use the H&R software for the federal tax. The same thing happened recently for tax year 2024; more than $300 differential l!!!! for my CT tax obligation for the CT state tax. I may have lost money for years prior to 2023 as well, and not realized it. WHAT A DISASTER. The problem seems to be that there is a difference in how the two products calculate the deduction for Social Security allowed by CT.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Been using H&R software for years. Nice that it imports last year's data as needed for the current tax year. But it does far somewhat short. During accuracy review it asked if I owed taxes out of state. I'd previously answered this. Secondly, it asked about my last year's deductions in order to determine if my state refund was taxable. Since it imported last year's data, it should have known I didn't itemize and therefore the state refund was none taxable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Last year in June, I reported software error, Case #20994905. That error has not been fixed.

I bought the software for the third year in a row, and this is the first time that I had a problem trying to pay my federal taxes put my credit card number in and the program never accepted it so I e-filed, but I will still have to mail a check which defeats the purpose of having an online program I amhoping that I don’t get charged on my card and pay my income taxes twice
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
