Application is good and easy to use. There has been an issue the last couple of years however with the purchase system, at least on Mac - buying the Deluxe+State package doesn't actually unlock the State download, and I've needed to call support to get the State package that I’ve already purchased.
Support is helpful once you get past the idiotic AI screener and talk to a real person.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

There was a software error in the New York State version which would have resulted in an underpayment of taxes had I not caught the error. On the Federal portion of the software, you are prompted to enter your annual real estate taxes. On the New York software you need to enter any Star Credit received which reduces real estate taxes. The program did not offset the gross real estate taxes paid by the Star Credit resulting, in an inflated itemized deduction and an underpayment.
