I had to buy this due to some oil & gas royalties, but was disappointed that the item for depletion had no prompts, only an information box that stated depletion was complicated, use this link to the IRS site. Also, the home office information did not transfer to the state (PA). I had to dig out all the information and re-enter it.
I had a problem with the catch-up IRA amount it should have allowed my wife to take another $1K dollar deduction over last years deduction, but the program would not allow it, so she only took a $6K catchup. Do you know why? Was there a change in the normal IRA deduction amount for a self employed person adding to their SEP-IRA?
I was able to do my taxes on my own using this software. It helps you step-by-step, although sometimes it can be a bit confusing as you do not know for sure if it is asking for a certain item to be entered now or will it be revisited later. This could also be because it was my first time using the software. It does find (and let you know) a lot of deductions that you might have forgot about, such as, deprecation of an item used for work.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
