Very easy to use. Very user friendly. Also, seems to be extremely accurate. It guides you all along the way and keeps you on track to a audit-free filing.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
For the most part, the program is easy to learn and navigate. Since our financial status hasn't changed for several years, each year it takes less time to do taxes. This convenience is the reason we will continue to buy it. We only found one very minor problem, the program did not automatically insert last year's AGI even though we used the Deluxe 2018 program. It was no big deal to insert this number manually.

I found a small error the way your 2019 download software works.
I entered a Wells Fargo Brokerage 1099-INT with $0.02 of taxable interest in box 1, and $10.69 of "Bond Premium on Tax-Exempt Bond" in box 13. There are no other items for this somewhat unusual 1099-INT.
Your software rounded box 1 to $0, and box 13 to $11, as expected.
Your software then would note the 1099-INT as failing to pass validity checks because of the $0 in box 1 that could not be offset by the bond premium.
One way I found to work around this was to put $1 in as taxable or non-taxable interest and then it would pass validity checks. The other way was to simply not enter the perfectly valid 1099-Int. This is also known as lying on a federal tax return in order to get the software to work.
