the activation code that is needed for the free e-file has been a rocky process. I have had to call twice to use the code twice. The second time I was on the phone for half an hour. Don't know if it'll work for the e-files 3-5. Easier in other years.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

Thank you for the valuable feedback. Our goal is to make your tax life easier, and we apologize you didn’t have a positive experience. We’d like the opportunity to work with you and make it right. If you could call us at 1-800-472-5625, our support team is ready to help.
1. In many of the screens for entering data (e.g. 1099-DIV, 1099-R, etc.) very often there are multiple entries for the same company, just with a different account number and/or owner. On the opening screen for that entry, all the previous year’s entries are shown, but there can be (in my case) 4-5 from the same company. The only way to pick the correct one to enter or edit, is to open each one until the correct one is found. Suggestion, provide a ‘Nickname’ option for each entry. That way I can distinguish if it is mine or my spouse’s, and which of our several accounts. (My bank does this for all my payee’s, for example, so I can tell which account to pay at our hospital even though the payee for each is identical) 2. When a new account gets added to these entries, it gets added to the bottom of the list. The same company could then be 1st, 2nd, 10th and 13th, not very convenient for data entry. Please provide an option for moving entries together. 3. In these same screens, often an entry will not be used for one year only to return in a subsequent year. Please provide a third option (other than “Edit” and “Delete”) called ”Not Used/Retain” to retain an entry for future use, but keep it from being flagged as a missing entry during the review. 4. You provide no easy feedback path on your website. That is bad for getting customer feedback and improvement suggestions.

Page in Arkansas State Income (Military Pension Income) is confusing. I have to put my Non-taxable Military Pension Income in a box titled Taxable Military Pension Income.

I used your product for years with very good results.This year I had a problem with the Vermont return. I filed electronically. On form HS-122 Line B7 I reported 100%. The State sent me an adjustment notice claiming I reported 1%. They adjusted the error thankfully. I checked my printed return copy and in fact I had recorded 100%. No harm done but this could have cost me significantly if the State had not corrected it.
