Everything needed for do it yourself tax preparati

Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything I am looking for in a do it yourself tax program. I would give it 5 stars except, like everyone else these days , they are, throughout the tax preparation process, trying to get you to upgrade / purchase a more expensive version. That said I have used them for years and like the ease of entering information, the speed with which I can do my taxes, and of course their audit protection (although I have never been audited it's nice to know it is there)
To take a common deduction regarding sales tax on a car purchase, I had to go directly to Schedule A and fill it out. I could not get any knowledgeable help from H&R on how to take the deductions from within the shell program.
Two years in a row, imported info from my W-2 wrong, leading to time wasted on manual error-checking, since the supposed error-checking the s/w did had no clue. That can't be so difficult - need help with regex to find the numbers? I didn't have a hint there'd been an import error until the s/w said I couldn't e-file the state return because two fields from the W-2 had the same value, when they're expected to be different. Should have been a) imported correctly to begin with, or at least b) caught in earlier error-checking. Difficult to find the form I have to print out to mail in for my state payment - that should be linked PROMINENTLY at the conclusion of the e-file; if I have to mail something in, make the link to it EASY TO FIND!
