I'm somewhat disappointed with this year's version. I have used this program for at least15 years without any problems. This year the program wouldn't calculate EIC properly. I reached out to the help line, and their solution was to take it to one of their tax service offices and presumably pay again for them to solve it. I finally solved it myself, by not transferring last year's info to this year's, and started from scratch. I have seen others on the internet who had the same problem.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

Federal program was very good. The Virginia State program has a major flaw so I had to over ride the entry and now must mail in my tax form! Extremely disappointing. I will not trust your tax preparation again. Sorry.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my 14th year in a row using your software. This year I was disappointed in your WV State tax software. Everything I research on the WV site indicated I could file my state but your software informed me that I was not able to do so, then when I printed the completed forms it printed a form that was only needed when e-filing which made no sense at all.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
