Honestly, the software was quite a bit better than I expected. I've done my taxes online for many years and this software is the most inclusive and advanced I've seen. On many/most lines, it has the ability to click the "ambiguous term" and it will give you a short description in plain English of what it means. However, this feature didn't always work. It seemed about 2/3rd of the way through, the description window would pop-up and it would just contain an error. I pushed forward and had to save/reopen a few times due to my own schedule. So even reloading my return did not fix the description error. I think it just kept claiming I wasn't connected to the internet, when I have hardwired ethernet and zero issues online. It was a bug, flatout.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback! We truly appreciate your business.
The place that I bought it from must be selling multiple copies of the same license. Each tax form I e-filed I had to reach out and request a new license because the 5 free submissions were already used up.
The Premium software is great and has no issues. The business software does not allow e-filing for Trust Entities and that is a huge problem; especially with NY.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Between this and turbotax there is a duopoly; not much choice. This is crappy software, but its much cheaper than Turbotax and does the job, for the most part. Problems are that it can't handle K-1s very well -- quickly it stops giving guidance, it just bails on you. Complicated to use. Hard to navigate. Imports fail. But, its cheaper than Turbotax, and for the most part it works ok. Meh
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
