I was helping my son using the downloable program and e-filing didn't work on Tax day. I tried to e-file on 4/14 Sunday all night until midnight and tried again 4/15 Monday morning but still wouldn't work. I had to print everything last minute and filed paper returns for both Federal and State tax returns.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using this software for years, and have 2 main issues:
1. Schedule D: I do a lot of trading, including selling naked puts. The software does a good job importing data from my broker, however, it is not programed to “understand” sales that happen before purchase, as is the norm in short selling and put writing, so I am forced to confirm each of those trades manually, since the software flags them as errors. The software accepts expired options (labelled X), so it is not a stretch to allow for naked puts and shorts.
2. Form 8938: I am an expat, I report my foreign bank accounts on form 8938, and the software has now (not last year!) a limit on the number of foreign accounts accepted in e-filing. This is weird. Also, you may need to review the output here: the number of additional sheets is not provided automatically, and, if I have, say, 6 bank accounts, I get 5 additional statements, each with page 1 and page 2, while p 1 is supposed to be a cover for all, and page(s) 2 the additional sheets for each account. This is also not automated, and confusing.
Overall, I like the software, since I’ve been using it for so long. I wish the above issues are taken in account in future versions. Keep up the good work!

I've been using this tax program for a few years now. Once you learn how to navigate your way through the program, it gets easier. I'd recommend this over turbo tax. Just my personal opinion and my recommendation. A little pricey, but what isn't these days. All in all at least with this program you get what you pay for.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Initially thought there was going to be a penalty on my taxes because a mutual did really well for 2023 and had a large capital gain. The IRS worksheet was used to show why the tax withholding wasn't sufficient and no penalty was owed.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used this software for at least 30+ years since it was called TaxCut. I have never had a single problem and all taxes were filed accurately and completely perfect. Have recommended it to many many friends.
