So far, it has added $25,000 to our income that it won’t let me delete. When I tried for chat, I waited 30 minutes and gave up. I am going to try some more and will amend if it starts working right. As of now, I want my money back at the very least!!

The federal program works easily and seemingly well. The state program for MS does not work so well. This year, our amended return put much of the information in the wrong spouse designation; I don’t trust it. Last year, we got a penalty and interest from MS for our return completed with Turbo Tax. This year, we completed our taxes and paid for e-filing for both federal and state. When we went to file the state return, we were told that it could not be filed electronically.

After tracking my personal income/expenses on spreadsheets, I decided to try Quicken. Set up is easy, but Quicken really, really wants to interface with your bank accounts & makes it a little difficult to set up an account not using an interface. My banks charge anywhere from $5 - $10/mo to download to Quicken, Quickbooks or Money. The only answer I could get from my banks was that Intuit charges the banks for downloading (I do not whether this is true or not, but the banks would not budge on waiving the monthly fee unless I had an exorbitant amount of money in my account).

I installed this software on my netbook, and have been using the program for about 1 month. Installation was easy with no complications. This program does exactly what it says that it does - easily creates pdfs - nothing more, nothing less. I’ve not run into any difficulties using the program. E-mailed pdfs are easily opened by others.

I thought this software would make it easier for a total novice to get started in genealogy. Nope. All it did was succeed in making me frustrated. I quit & never tried again. Too complicated & too confusing. There has to be better software out there.

Non-destructive adjustments. For beginners like me, this is a valuable part of the package. Hang in there, keep playing around, and it becomes easier & more intuitive. I’m still learning all of the bells & whistles in AfterShot Pro, and I still have a way to go to really master anything. There are quite a few editing tools, so I continue to experiment. Early on, I did manage to lose some of my edits & could not retrieve them, so this is something to be careful about.

Fun to dream!

Good Quality. Great.
