The software is good and easy to use. I would have liked to see more "What's This" or "More Information" style embedded links, as I had to do a fair amount of my own research on other websites to get explanations on certain items. It feels like this is intentional to have you spend more on "Live" assistance. I did not use the upgrades on my return, but I feel it is not a live person, but AI assistance. I also had to decline Tax Return upgrades multiple times to feel annoying. I would prefer for it to honor my choice not to upgrade at the start, when I'm already for the service. I would use this on simple tax returns, but would avoid it for a better program if I had a more complicated tax return (or planned from the start to purchase an upgrade package).
I love how TurboTax walks you through the whole process one step at a time. It makes filing easy and reminds you that you're not doing it alone. There's always an agent available if there are any questions. TurboTax is awesome!
