When I went to submit the fifth return on the evening of April 15, I just kept getting an error message. I went online and there were clearly many others with the same problem. I laid her realized I received the email that the return had been submitted and accepted by the IRS, but, I was left with some unanswered questions.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used this tax software for years so I am reasonably familiar with its interview protocol. There are some "glitches" which necessitate work-arounds, so it is important to carefully review the completed Schedules/forms to verify one's data has been entered correctly. If it hasn't, it can be a time consuming task to make necessary corrections. One notable error in the software has appeared for several years now: The software does not allow qualified charitable donations (QCD) from inherited IRA accounts, while the IRS clearly states this type of distribution is permitted.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased in December. I wanted to examine some numbers to determine the optimal differential tax rate for IRA withdrawal. The values were confusing/high, until I realized that if you didn't specify a portion of that amount to IRS, it would automatically increase your tax bill, unlike last year's edition. Also, once you go through the pages, it no longer navigates to form 8938, and you have to specifically point to that form. Also, you cannot add additional versions of that form, so it is necessary to print them out, and submit taxes via post office, rather than online.
Pros: Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!
