Makes a really hard process a lot more reasonable!

23 days ago
I think, for the most part, this software makes self filing SUPER easy. It would be a little easier if some of the more confusing topics, like rollover/conversions, or self-employment pieces linked directly to agency forms/guidance and had a little more flexibility as to how they were entered. I know the taxation rules for my Roth IRA conversion, but I just wasn't answering the questions correctly to get to that proper reporting. Took a few tries. Also, sometimes people make estimated payments via EFTPS even though they aren't required to, so it's not on the 1140-ES. There's no clear place in the software to record those payments and it's caused me to make mistakes here and there on my reporting. Almost cost me $5500 one year until I audited the total payments on the completion screen with my records. All that said, these are small potatoes. Because of my business, my returns are complicated and I would not do it any other way.

This was easier to complete than I thought it would be. The paper 1040 form and business forms looked so much more complicating than previous 2 years. So happy it was user friendly.
