Have been using the basic version at home by downloading the software. At 73 not much need for more. No state required for me. For the price, with a decent discount always offered, it's worth every penny. No cloud servers having my info. Everything is on a local PC and is secured once completed and filed. E-file 5x no charge with one small purchase.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
I've been using this product for over three decades, though a career of self employment, and I find it the easiest, most intuitive product I've found. The interviews ask the right questions, but you can always go directly to any form you need to examine the entries. You can license as robust a product as you need, or keep it simple and inexpensive. I have yet to find a situation it can't handle easily.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!
