I find it's easier to navigate the program online. Which by doing online program I would have owed less, but it would have been a larger expense to use rather than buying the program and installing it. Should be the other way around when navigating the program.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using the programs for years and generally I am happy with them. This year where I had to do Federal and two States there were some challenges, I felt forgotten. The primary one was how to pay a state tax. The program lead me no where nor in my search was it mentioned. I had to go into that State's Department to find a means to pay my tax.
Pros: Easy to import documents

Interview has a lot of unclear questions and the help is not much help. Example: I indicate single no dependants at the very beginning and yet later questions ask about family coverage.

Deciding to drop support for importing 1099-B from a major broker like Merrill Lynch is a deal breaker. Support for active stock traders was already bad - now its utterly useless. I was forced to move to TurboTax after many years of using H&R Block.
Cons: Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had one simple question that the chat couldn't answer. I didn't see anywhere else to go. Very disappointing!

Your pricing and marketing strategies are so misleading that I will not purchase your product again. I purchased your Premium edition based upon the representation that I would get 5 free federal filings and 1 free state. But it was a bait and switch. I was charged an additional fee to actually file my first state return and when I tried to get an extension for my second federal return, I was hit with yet another undisclosed fee. In the end, the add-ons ended up costing more than the original software.
