"Downloaded it in 2 minutes, imported my W-2, filed in 20. TurboTax quoted me $129 for the same thing. Never going back."
"Love that it works offline and saves locally. I don't have to trust some company's cloud with my SSN. That alone sold me."
"Imported my prior-year TurboTax file and it pre-filled everything. Took maybe 10 minutes for a Schedule C return. Incredible."
