Summary of what I don't like:
1. Fingerprinting my PC to count activations. In order to circumvent this, I had to stop using my common security practices (VHD, bitlocker, VPN, etc.)
2. Intuit is pushing us to use the cloud based option. They even try to trick you into using the cloud during the desktop version install. Some of us don't want our data in the cloud.
3. The payment form for electronic filing would not take an expiration month greater then "8" (August). Had to open a support case and was told this is a known issue(come on it's Feb, 2026!)
What I still like:
It is easy to use, even for complicated returns (rentals, RMDs, etc) and it is accurate.
The sad part:
Because I am security focused, and the activation tracking is counter-security practice (mentioned above), and for me, I do not want to use a cloud based tax solution, I am seriously thinking about going back to the old school method of doing my taxes manually. But I'll probably try H&R Block at least once before I abandon tax software solutions.
