The tax return functionality was alright, as usual (with the usual incomprehensible questions and wordings in the interview, and the interview leaving you on your own on everything that is not obvious, in particular on state returns). Not OK was that it was impossible to update the state version (CA) after initial install - because the state version UPDATE has higher minimum system requirements than the original instal. It took several hours on the phone to get me the link for a new installer
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The program is generally great, but I don't understand why it ALWAYS imports the wrong adjusted gross income from the previous year's return....information that must be correct for the IRS to accept a return.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

Scared me half to death. After I filed, the amount changed on a tax return.

In the end, I got through the software/tax preparation process okay, but I did have problems with updating the software from the beginning of my purchase (I always had to update, both federal and state, through the update center). Using a PC and running Windows 11.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
