The program kept blowing up with year - refusing to do backups, refusing to let me change the name of the file I was working on. It finally settled down and let me do the returns mid February. I did every 'update' as they were available. This has not happened in the years before. I could not find anything in the help/support section. As far as the tax work, that was good when I could finally get the program to work.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The personal version works fine. The business section is buggy. Certain areas on form 1065 are not included in the interview and then flagged as errors. The qbi information is opaque at best. Why no help screen and interview? Other areas are not included in the interview and left to the user to figure out. Support has no ideas how to answer these questions although they were very nice and tried to help. The company does not seem inclined to fix these issues.

I was disappointed that the 1040 software could not resolve an issue where my daughter was covered for 6 months with Obama Care, got married and then got 6 months of insurance through her husband’s work. The business software to complete a trust 1041 tax return was difficult to use and was missing many of the features of the 1040 tax software.

The Premium product is excellent but the Business product was quirky in 2023 and 2024 requiring calls to software support.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

Bought the business package because I have to do a relatively simple 1041 return for a trust. Works well for our personal return but the business package is really clunky. Used it last year for the first time and expected that I could pull on the basic info from that return to start this year’s. Couldn’t do it. Also tried to find out where the return is stored but it’s hidden somewhere. Interview process is weak and doesn’t give many clues as to how to get down the right path unless you are a tax professional.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

Had to buy because TurbTax had fatal flaw that could not be corrected. It is desktop so could not load last years TurboTax return. Did not use any of the add on services (Don't need). Interview was reasonable to enter data and could easily go direct to section i could work on without interview. Upload of external documents was easy. Print output for worksheets was terrible and had to print specific form pages which is why this rating is 4 stars. Expect I will use again next year assuming i have no problems with ultimate Fed or State reviews.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!
