It mostly works as expected but this year the efile process didn't work properly. The efile was failing with an error message claiming internet problems. However I have reveived the confirnation email that the filling was accepted. I've checked the status on the IRS website and it shows my return was filled but the software still shows that it wasn't.

It’s quick & easy to do my taxes but the communication about the servers being down in the north east & then finally posting an update saying a small number of users were affected was infuriating. Any clue how many people paid for eFile & couldn’t then had to go out, buy ink and/or a printer to submit returns all bc of lack of communication. This was my last year using your service. I cancelled automatic renewal. Bye
Your marketing team is excellent because I keep buying the product. Your product team can improve. I know I missed at least one deduction because it wouldn’t allow me to calculate vehicle tax on the state return. Directions are in IRS speak, not plain business language.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Final scan picks up issues that need earlier fixes

This software needs to be more cohesive. For the first time in years, the final scan for filing picked up a new error (average mortgage balance?). That needs to be handled at interview time. You need redundant servers so people can file on the 15th. You were MIA with "Bad Gateway" message, down for almost a whole day. The stock sale interface needs a makeover badly ! I may be looking for a new package next year.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

In general, the software is straight forward to use and gets the task completed without major issues. However, it would be great if copying or moving entries could be available between forms of the same type, like a 1099 entries. In my case, I had to delete a long list of entries from one form and reenter them again. If another product offers this I will switch.
