The first problem I had was that the terminology on the state form wasn't the same as what I was reading off of my K1 form. Then, there was a fixed sequence for the e-file and payment. I wanted to get the Federal e-file and payment out of the way first, before I went on to e-file and pay for the State, but the program was inflexible about that.
What's great about it: The guide was easy.
What's not so great: e-file and payment sequence not great
You can do a better job on helping customers e-file. Tried 6 times on the federal form and updated as instructed. Did not work, had to send form in by USPS.
This makes y'all look bad since the forms did not move out.
Also had similar problem with state form.
And I hope I am not charged for "e-filing" my state form. I will monitor this and will complain mightily if I am charged for a service not done.
What's great about it: Great at taking information and formating.
What's not so great: tried to e-file 6 times with no go. Even updated and still no e-filing on federal forms.
I like how I can control my level of risk. I feel very secure in filing this way. I wish there was a place that could clearly explain why certain issues
What's great about it: very complete program
What's not so great: some explanations more confusing than original questions
I'm now 3 years deep with Intuit TurboATax, quite satisfied, I DO keep coming back. This software seems to keep the user in the picture and focused, digs for details and $$ when and where you make it or more importantly, spend it in ways that are deductable. I'm happy, i'll be back next yesr ... this stuff just keeps getting more 'n more complicated.
What's great about it: No refund, but lotsa help stopping the bleeding
