The software on the computer is easier to use than the on on-site version. The on-site version is more restrictive and less friendly than the computer software version
Bottom line is it lets me file my moderately difficult (several investment vehicles, no real estate) online mostly without problem. The mostly is because there seems to always be at least one detail that I have to chase down, this year it was something about the income from a REIT I gave.
State portion of it is always pretty terrible, any deviation has you filling out your own state forms (this year, for example, had to figure out on my own if I owed a penalty). But, again, ultimately, I can file my state online which is nice.
Software works. The graphics looked old 10+ years ago when I started using it and they haven’t improved.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am a long-time user and I keep coming back because the software works well and is now familiar. I have to knock a star off because we ran into their e-Filing outage on April 14th and 15th, along with many other users. It was ultimately resolved smoothly, and we didn't need to file for an extension or print and mail, but I was annoyed that it dragged out into the final day. I will use the product again, but the company should know how frustrating this was.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
