Used this software because I have used it the past 4 years, won't in the future.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Is decent for basic filers. If you have more exotic returns, it does a poor job of "helping" you. It is built around the questionnaire so if you have something NOT covered by the questionnaire, it is VERY difficult to navigate and find what you need or even fill out the form you need. When finding an error in the software, they don't seem to care and just make excuses....IF you can get through to someone. Maybe it will be fixed in "the next update". I bought the most expensive version since I had a more than basic return. I expected it to handle my situation much better than it did.
I have used the software for the last five years. I still like the software for its ease of use. I had a lot of trouble e-filing this year with multiple attempts not going through. The software never did show that it went through but I received confirmation from the IRS that they received and accepted the filing.
