I've used this product (in its previous annual editions) for many years. This is the first time I've had a problem. There were math errors that were obvious (where the program and not I was doing the math) and I had to start all over again to rectify them. Also, it did not give me a chance to efile my state return with my federal and also didn't tell me that I couldn't do that. Eventually, after the federal return was accepted, it would still not let me efile the state return. I will mail it in, but clarification if there was an issue would have been appreciated.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
This software should include all Vermont Tax forms and well as penalty forms for state and federal income tax returns (VT IN-152 and IN-152A). Your software programmers should be able to include all the state tax forms in this software. As a customer, you shouldn't have to do forms manually outside the software programming. It should also include free state electronic tax return filings. You shouldn't have to pay extra for the electronic filing.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund

Chose this a few years back to escape problems of TurboTax. Found the programs to be so similar in both good and bad aspects that I stuck with Block due to price.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
