I have use the product for several years but this year there were compatibility issues with the Mac version. You could not retrieve the state version nor make updates automatically.
Most frustrating thing is the program doesnt recognize a short sale. It insists that the sale date has to be after the buy date. It made me make up phony dates for 800 short sales that I did. It's amazing to me that software from a tax company is not designed to accept short sales. Also, when downloading data from my broker, the software went into a seemingly infinite loop. It should be programmed with a status bar so you know it isnt frozen. The help feature was not useful for finding my capital gains carryover to the next year. I had to google to find out what form and line its on. Your search feature should be able to find any common subject. I will not be purchasing this software again till you make it user friendly for short option sales.
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues, Hard to prepare, Hard to import
It's ok to use, you can multiple federal tax return, but on your 1 state. One issue I have multiple states return to because I live and work in different states.
