This software is extremely easy to use. I have used this for over 10 years for Federal and State reporting. The preparation, accuracy reviews prior to filing are excellent. Subsequent year uses data from the prior to speed preparation and downloading periodic software updates are easy as well. Forms are displayed easily and the preparation using interview questions make it easy for first time filers. I highly recommend this software!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Last year's version gave me trouble in filing. Seemed to go all over the place. This year was pretty smooth. There was just minor glitch at the end when I was trying to finish the filing. Solved easily. I guess they did something to make this year's version better. Thank you!
Always easy. Great for year-to-year followup. It kept track of an investment loss I couldn't fully deduct last year and saved me even more this year. Once e-filed, it makes tracking progress simple. Thanks
3rd year using this program. Prior to those years I was using an accountant but because I no longer have the same write offs or deductions there was no need to spend that kind of money on a professional. The program runs smooth and walked me through step by step. It made me feel confident that I input everything needed by the fed and state tax departments. I'll be selling the house this year and this program will help with those details. If you are concerned about doing your own taxes, you will not be using this program.
Basic program moves you quickly thru the steps for low and moderate income. It accepts multiple income types and provides the correct alerts and tips before and after filings. It could use access to additional planning tools.
