Review by Old DOS user

This is a preview of what I think interested buyers would like in advance. I will follow up with a more complete review when I finish my own taxes.

I have used this program year after year, so I don’t expect to find too many faults, but as I said, I will do an update. What I should have done is wait for a better price. I bought it at 34 dollars and change. You can get it now for 19 dollars and change. Tax law has changed allowing banks, businesses, etc. to wait until much later to provide your tax information therefore there really is no need to buy early.

Update: This year’s version provides for downloading tax info from many financial firms. Most firms have established deadlines when this feature will be available. My firm will be ready to download on February 2nd. Of course, you always have the option to enter the info from a paper form, or using online data at the firms web site.nThe tax software itself has had one update in late January and another update is scheduled for February 23rd. Without the updating being completed (there may be more), you cannot submit your return with any confidence it is correct. The software will tell you if another update is planned.

Update: I downloaded data from my financial firm. Numerous entries were created for Interest, Dividends, and Stock Sales. It marks each entry asking you to verify each one. All entries were accurate. The download saved me a lot of time.

Update: I submitted 6 returns (3 Federal and 3 State) for members of my family. All electronically submitted returns were accepted by the IRS within 1 day. All returns sailed through processing and refunds came very quickly as direct deposits. The State returns cost $19.95 to submit electronically. All Federal returns were free to submit electronically. The software is worth every penny I paid!
