I bought this software mid-March around the time IRS issued a new ruling for tax filers. Appreciate the auto updates the software runs, the audit risk assessment to make sure everything looks good and simplicity yet thorough explanation of each question if needed. Overall would get it again next year. Only downside is the character limit for names that have 11 letters or more.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for leaving a review, and for providing positive feedback.
I like most everything about the software except the way it handled cost basis for donated stocks. I had one value over $5K and instead of requiring a cost basis during the interview it required to be filled in the form during final checks. This was confusing. Also, I don’t even know if it was necessary since the full value of donated stock is tax deductible.
I've used this product for over 10 years it is generally good. Could use improvements when multiple states are involved anything involving WI is troublesome but WI is a nightmare in general. Some quirky questions are not covered or gard to find info on.
I had to file Form 5329 which required an explanation for requesting a waiver of penaly. The program provided the Form but not a way to include the explanation so I would have been unable to efile. I decided to leave out the form and file it seprately. It seems it would be a simple fix to provide a blank page for the explanation.
Great program however somewhat confusing when the numbers from federal auto populated too the state regarding alimony
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!
