I decided to do taxes myself, because of the rising cost for preparation. The SW is handy, but a little buggy and hard to navigate until you get use to it. Another issue I experienced was the MY block account. I was able to link previous years that my preparer assembled, but I was not able to save my current E-Filed returns into history. there should be a spot to categorize as a tax return for federal and state.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to import, Fast
Bought it through Amazon, saved almost 50% of the cost over last year's that I spent at Jackson Hewitt ( which they made a mistake) never again. Turbo tax was great and easy to use
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
