Have used for years. Don't understand software - enter data, go through prompts and amount due to IRS adjusts, as I expect. Hit "next" to move to next category, and number changes again without explanation. Also, when trying to use for a tax return for deceased person (1041), kept prompting me to fill out information for refund when - in fact - funds were owed to the IRS. Discussed with one of your tech people who agreed, said I would get contacted by another, more senior person, but I never was.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The program seemed to work ok and led me through the things I needed to do. The BIG problem was I bought it in 2024 and every time I tried to update it I had to contact support and have them help me find a stand-alone updater to download and use on my Mac. The program would NOT update the way it did in 2020-2023.

It works, but has problems

The software had no problem with 1099-INT, -DIV, or hundreds of -B. It does not handle K-1 (1065) at all, and you need to figure out where to put adjustments so that the 4797 and 8949 come out right. Even so, I'm not sure I did things correctly!
A MAJOR failing this year is that the estimated tax computation is completely wrong and as of 8 April, there is no apparent plan to fix it. The instructions mention 4 strategies, but they are not offered. The software insists on trying to estimate your 2025 income, even if you want to use the safe harbor strategy of 110% of your 2024 tax bill. I ended up using the IRS forms for the computation.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

I need to be able to directly (side by side) compare this year's return against last years return, line by line.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

After 4 attempts to get my middle initial right, I finally gave up. You really don’t want to know what I think of your forms.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
