The Federal and state individual returns were easy to do. The Federal partnership return was okay. The Massachusetts partnership return was nonexistent not sure why but I was really po.
Comprehensive, easy to use, and good value for the price. I've been using this product for the last four years, and generally give it high marks. Some of the 'help' articles could use a little work, and occasionally the software leaves me stuck in a loop if it doesn't like a particular number, but the interviews are pretty straight forward and I have no major complaints. It does a pretty good job of importing info/data from the previous year, so that's helpful.
The personal tax portion works very well. Easily walks you through the necessary steps and catches any errors. Loads last year's data easily, which makes entries straightforward. On the business side, the entry process has improved significantly over the last five years, but transferring data from the previous year is not intuitive and doesn't happen automatically. Despite that, it generates the needed forms accurately. I use it for Schedule C, payroll and partnership returns.
The business part of the business and premium pack is not very user friendly. It is very difficult to use and often generates errors that cannot be fixed. After several hours trying to fix errors so that I could e-file my Federal and State taxes on my S-Corp, I gave up and printed them so that they could be mailed. I had errors that had so little description that it was impossible to even to determine what field had error / missing information.
Excellent software has always worked well for me with no problems. Just take your time and read what it asks you to do. Never get in a hurry causes problems!!!!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
