The estimated tax refund feature turned out to be right on, and that spurred me to buy the software and file early. Although there were some changes in the "process" on filling in date and saving the files from previous years and I needed a little help from an agent it all worked out great.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
I have used this software for several years and it has been excellent. However the 2025 version has glitches and it kept changing several entries spontaneously. The only way I would know something had changed was my refund/amount owed total would suddenly change for no apparent reason. Dividend amounts reported changed, tax withholding amounts for a pension changed, etc. —-Very strange. I finally got through everything including accuracy verification with nothing changing and filed it electronically immediately. It took multiple attempts to get through the software before I could send it.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Extra charge is not welcome. In years past we were able to access past returns as needed. Now you charge a fee to access previous returns. But only up to two years.
Pros: Maximizes refund
