This is my 6th year using H&R software. I have never had an issue as far as it is easy to use and reliable for correct tax information. This year I had one issue. I just received an email stating that the IRS accepted my return through the internet. It is February 11th and I already have received my refund because the return was transmitted over two weeks ago. Usually, I get the IRS confirmation within 24 hours.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

I'm planning on using another software next year because Tax Cut does not properly compute the estimated tax penalty. Specifically, my 4th quarter estimate was paid on 2/4/26. Tax Cut computes the number of days the payment was late as 90 rather than the actual 20. My only recourse is to override the 90 with 20 and file a paper return or let the IRS compute the penalty. I believe I've had the same issue in prior years and it's still not fixed.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Program works well. But forget about printing. All I wanted was a printout of 1040-SR and I would get either 15 pages or a bunch of gobblygook. Spent over an hour trying to get it out but to no avail.

When I got this via download back in December, I had not realized one of the pieces that would be missing. Took me a while to figure out where to get the PI PIN which the IRS can supply. The code they want is 6 digits and what is in the form when submitting the tax return is 5 which contradicts what in based in the form itself. I thought it would be sent to me but it was not which is what made it difficult. Will need to be reminded of it next year.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
