I am a retired CPA. I have used this product the last 3 years and found it works pretty well. It can be difficult to edit information when a revised 1099 arrives. The return does not seem to completely recalculate upon completion of the edit.
Pros: Maximizes refund

I bought the software at the end of March. Except for the download issue I had (user-error), I'm glad I purchased it. Product is user-friendly, and I would recommend it to any DIYer doing their taxes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

The process was easy, but I'm unsure about the qualified capital gains (schedule-D) part. The retirement income was less than the gains, so that income nuber was used....I don't think that is the right deduction for my case.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund

While I was eventually able to fight my way through filing my return, the business filing component was unstable and crashed a lot throughout the process (and yes I dutifully applied available updates as they were made available). I also found it troubling that I had to run it as "administrator" for it to work at all, else it produced a database error code of some sort. This product definitely needed some additional time in the QA department.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

The personal side is fairly easy to work with and quick. Taken by itself, I would give it 5 stars. However, the business side really needs significant improvement. By itself, the business side is probably 1 or 2 stars at most. Very cumbersome and hard to work with, incomplete instructions and explanation, error checking/correcting is almost insurmountable due to software glitches. For next year, I'll probably get a different business tax software.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My grandfather actually purchased this software to do my taxes. It was very straightforward because I had a couple of w-2s. However, he mentioned that he preferred TurboTax when it comes to more complex tax situations. But at least my taxes were essentially a snap using h&R block software.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents

I've been a loyal user forever. Today's Business software is exrtremely buggy. Seems like things went down hill when you changed to a new file structure and transitioned from Windows 10 to 11. When support was contacted numerous times a reply was never received. Personal filing continues to be reliable. May move to Turbotax next year!
