What I found especially pleasing about this product was the way it packaged up sections of the interview process to get me moving in the right direction, all while eliminating sections that just didn't apply to me. I hate fumbling through paragraphs and questions that aren't needed based on my filing needs.

Another thing that impressed me was the multiple sources of easy to use guidance and help. It seems no matter where I was in the preparation process, there was always support to help if I didn't understand, or needed more information. Seems they have really used the years of experience to cover all the issues that have come up year after year.
