It's easy to use and I have been for years but this year there was some glitch with the Advance that wasn't coming up after I initially opened my account and started my taxes. I wasn't finished in one sitting but when I came back I couldn't access the advance at checkout anymore. I saw lots of others commenting the same issue. I eventually used a different email to create another account as someone else had stated they did in order to get the advance before filing. That worked for me. Sucks that I don't have all my info in one account anymore though. TurboTax needs to address this before next year!
