I did my taxes about 4 months ago. I hope this reply to your request is timely.?
State taxes were a little harder to do. Otherwise it went well. Haven't gotten any E-mails from the Feds or State people. So, I assume everything went well.
Upon going through the site, there was a supposed penalty being issued related to a W-2. I went back through the W-2 over and over, but the penalty still was shown. Finally I re-input the W-2 contents and the penalty went away. There was NOTHING visible on the screens that would have caused the penalty, so it is unclear what I did to correct the problem
Very good value for the price. Generally straight forward in operation, with mostly good instructions. The program makes it very easy to submit to the IRS. In the past, I tried the main competition, but this is better. My suggestion to improve this program is to make the text larger. Less than half the screen is used, the rest blank. Fine for 20 year olds, but not so good for older folks.
It has been my go-to-choice for a long time and has always given me the best help in filling out my taxes and given the best chance to receiving all the return I am due. Anyone remmeber Andrew Tobias TaxCut?
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
In order to file electronically, I had to enter my previous year’s AGI value. Even though I entered the proper value, it was not accepted for electronic filing and I checked also the IRS site which also had the same value. (PS I have been filing with HRB now for a number of years). So was disappointed that I had to mail in my return.
