I purchased this product online, had difficulty getting it to download, but finally was able to find and access/download the program. I filled out each field carefully checking to be sure all information was accurate. I submitted the information to the IRS and my filing was rejected. I went through the process to check the accuracy of the information demanded by the IRS and resubmitted the filing again and was rejected the second time. Now I have to go through a lot of problems trying to figure out what to do, who to talk with, and how to make the filing acceptable to the IRS so I can get my refund.
Some provisions of the new tax law were not clear.

I was disappointed that the software was not fully updated to deal with the changes generated by the tax reform act. An example: the old mileage calculations were still active and part of the interview. After much searching, I learned that the mileage deduction had been disallowed except for a few occupations. That fact should have been prominently stated at the beginning of data entry without requiring all of the entry under the old calculation only to find that it did not provide a tax reduction. Also, my e-file was again rejected by the IRS due to the fact that the 2017 AGI of my spouse did not match what the IRS had on file. I never reported an AGI for my spouse in 2017; the joint AGI of 2017 was provided by the software and it did agree with what was reported to the IRS in 2017. However, the rejection could not be reversed. This is a continually recurring problem with my e-filings. For a number of consecutive years, the IRS has rejected them forcing me to submit my return on paper every year.
