Hi, been a user for almost 2 decades but may not be much longer. On the Federal side the half hearted K1 coverage is a cop out. As is the program lacking the ability to allow more than one form open simultaneously. And I look every year but there is still no informative tax calculation with details of the cap gains, ordinary income, additional taxes type of information that bridges the gap from taxable income to tax amount. I started to use the state tax for Hawai’i but quit when I could not find a way to get the correct adjustments to show for income exclusions related to pensions and RO Ira’s. The definition for Hawai’i of what can be excluded from income do not relate to anything the program uses to identify these incomes. It was far easier to just work up a simple s/s and fill in a form in pdf than to try to “trick” your program into showing correct numbers. I’m not being disingenuous when I tell the best solution for next year’s edition is to let the user override all of the related income fields. It’s what I have to do on a scratch pad excel sheet anyway.
Loyalty and familiarity aren’t going to keep me coming back if the product continues to be only the previous year with the least possible updating. Good luck.

I found a discrepancy between the irs.gov 1040 instructions and the computation of the software - there is no one to talk to about such issues. On another form, the MN Homestead Refund form double-counted one of my income sources. This was true in 2024 as well, but it wasn’t corrected in the 2025 software. So disappointing. I do like to use the software despite the problems to double-check my own calculations and for the audit protection.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have been using this for years, our two children use the same software. It is relatively easy to use. The only issue I have is the constant updating, It doesn't state what we are waiting for We have submitted our forms and it still says there is another update in a week. Does it stop us from sending our taxes in if it is not updated for our forms?
