The supplied aggregate ratings are favorable, with the displayed distribution limited to four- and five-star categories. Because the sample is very small and no written feedback is provided, it cannot establish specific strengths or concerns. Consider the included federal e-files, separately charged state e-filing, and supported operating systems when judging fit.
