When I got this via download back in December, I had not realized one of the pieces that would be missing. Took me a while to figure out where to get the PI PIN which the IRS can supply. The code they want is 6 digits and what is in the form when submitting the tax return is 5 which contradicts what in based in the form itself. I thought it would be sent to me but it was not which is what made it difficult. Will need to be reminded of it next year.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

The information about health should be part of the interview process NOT buried in the accuracy review. Also, it would be helpful if the font size was increased. Finally, if information is entered in a worksheet it should not be necessary to repeat it in the interview.
I would recommend this to a friend!
