I duplex printed the MI state return. Page 1 of Schedule one did not print. Page 2 did. But that left the following pages out of order. Also the routing and account numbers did not print on the MI 1040 form. There was a separate page with routing on it that was not to go to state but it was printed on the back of page 2 of Form 4884. I had to print the forms individually and assemble the return. A disaster for uninformed persons. I tried to print the whole return several times. No good. Federal forms seemed to be OK but I electronically filed them.
This program is inadequate for e filing. We were issued a federal ID number. This number was noted in our entries and was correctly entered. However, the program ignores this entry and requires us to choose some arbitrary 5 digit number for both taxpayers. This confuses the IRS resulting in a rejection of our return. We now have to mail a paper return for both federal and state. Unless you fix this problem, we find no reason to use your program in the future.
I have used H&R Block tax software for more than a decade, back to when it was Taxcut. It is always accurate, up to date and easy to use whether you use the interview process or enter data directly into forms worksheets. Highly recommend.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Had to change driver's license information after entry. Federal picked up changes, but NC state did not until the final review before submittal. Would be nice if 1099-R carried forward dollar amounts from prior year since retirement pension is identical each year.

Most of it is excellent. However, at the end when it reviews for errors or issues it brings one to the tax form. It would be much better to bring one to the spot in the program where one entered the amount or left it out.
