The federal return was well designed and easy to use. The state return (Pennsylvania in my case) seemed a bit clunky: some parts were confusing, and the software told me that I needed to fill out a form that wasn't included, which I had to download myself from Pennsylvania's web site. Overall, it's a lot easier than filling out forms on paper. I've been using the software for over a decade, and I'll do so again next year.
I had the following problems with the state form: Medical deduction didn’t carry over. There was no way to enter certain deductions. 401K did not carry over properly. I did not call the help line but finally just did a paper form. Next year I am only buying Federal.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
Complete waste of money as HR system was down when it was time to file. Could not efile on April 14.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
