The "Premium" 1040 part of the program was a nightmare this year. The "Amount of Refund" or "Owed" changed even after all the data/figures were entered. When it was ready to print or efile, just doing a review or recalculate in the menu produced a new "amount of refund". After efiling with one refund amount, I printed a copy of the return and it produced a different amount. Reinstalling and reentering data did not solve this problem. I cannot be confident either the efiled or printed version is right! The Business 1041 part of the program has always been quirky, but I've learn how to work around those problems. Couldn't figure out how to work around the 1040's problems.
Good software but it deletes all your data when do

The business software erases itself as soon as you transmit. Three years in a row I have been unable to retrieve my returns. Works fine snd submits the return but you need to reenter everything every year
Good product I just wish that you still offer the CD as I'm old fashion and prefer to have the CD. Some of the questions are not super clear but I manage to get around well the software.
Preparer needs extensive tax knowledge to properly prepare Forms and return fairly easy to find and move around in Found all forms I needed for Partnership and Personal Return Have been using Premium for 5 years
The program works well. It guides you through each subject and allows you time to gather additional data. The wait time for help was long. It worked through the selling of my home, but it didn’t have “Buying a Home” in the program.
I use the business just to be able to do 1041's for Trust Accounts. Runs on PC only which is not ideal for me as a Mac user. Next year I can revert to the Mac version and get rid of Windows. I did six returns this year.
