Software is relatively easy to use. Step by step instructions are straightforward. Biggest issues are that the company file can only be saved to a hard drive, not the cloud and occasionally, the program requires you to open it from the program86 file instead of the desktop. But the actual program is great to use.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been a consistent annual user of the Premium & Business tax preparation software for years and unfortunately this is the first year I have had problems. I'm running it on an Apple Macbook with Parallels VM software, installed on Windows 11 Pro. Apparently there is a major issue with the current edition tax prep business software not being able to run on this set-up, first time that I've ever had the issue. The personal tax prep module works completely fine and without issue. I need the business software to prepare one (1) form 1041 trust return and it looks like I'm going to have to look elsewhere not only for this tax year 2025 but for subsequent years. Unfortunate...

It is very frustrating to try and try to e-file and be unable to because the program "needs to be updated" yet never gets updated. I was able to e-file after I took the program to another computer. Why is this so hard.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

I bought the software, but I could only use it 2 times, but it is supposed to let me make 5 e-files. How is this determined? By activation code, email, or the PC I am on?

I was not able to efile OK 511. I was not able to efile Fed 1041 or OK 513. I should have been told efile was not an option BEFORE I purchased your product.
Cons: Time consuming

I bought the program to be able to do a form 1041 and 1040. I have used the Deluxe program for years and very satisfied with the results. I reviewed the different types of returns that I could use the Premium and Business for and that is the reason I purchased it. Doing the 1040 was the same as using the Deluxe, was pleased with that. Doing the 1041 was a challenge. Was able to finalize get the return completed and tried to EFile, but was notified that I could not EFile but do a paper copy. I was unhappy that in the research that you could not EFile a 1041 with this program and this is the reason for overall rating

I contacted my State to ask why I was being charged to e‑file. They told me the fee isn’t from them — it’s HR Block charging it. I purchased what I thought was a complete tax package, not a bait‑and‑switch add‑on.
