I'm considering not buying your software anymore. Every year there are issues with Arizona state Form 348. For 2025 Arizona state software a case # 27375711 (previous # 27276775) is opened and it will not be looked at for 7 to 10 business days. This is unacceptable since it was first reported on 2/28/2026 and case # 27276775 opened on 3/4/2026. case # 27375711 needs to be resolved ASAP with update the Arizona state software.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A very good program, but for me personally, I have to knock off one star because it did not account for foreign taxes paid as I think it should. That is, from 1099s, the program recognized that I paid foreign taxes and that the total amount was above the threshold that typically requires filling out Form 1119. However, it did not "force" me to fill out that form to the extent that I think it should. Otherwise, an excellent program that has suited my needs for the past 3 years (after many years of TurboTax).
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund

I have used H&R Deluxe software to file my taxes for many, many, years. Proof that it serves my purpose. I only reduced my review by one star because it's a little frustrating in this day of AI that the form doesn't begin with a question like "Has anything significant changed since last year's return?" and then significantly reduce the number of questions (i.e. Provide a shot form version).
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

Program was easy to use and clearly displayed. The print size was a bit small. I was usable to submit my state taxes electronically because of a limiting setting from 1099 data from an IRA. We have 80% of the RMD going to state taxes. I'll either change that in 2026 or use another software..
Pros: Easy to prepare
