I have been using this software for many years since it was Kiplinger Taxcut and am very happy with it. I used to buy a box from the store with the CD in it, but the past few years I have just been downloading the software direct from Amazon at a better price. Now it has added the capability to download all relevant 1099 data (including 1099-B stock sales to complete form 8949 and Schedule D) from Schwab and E*Trade so it is easier for me - I have to actually key in very little info. With the E-file feature I have been getting my refund direct deposited in about 2 weeks. Tax preparation now is really fairly easy and quick, as I never have to worry about reading the IRS instructions or keeping up on the latest changes. I will continue to use this software and recommend it.

If you must write with a felt pen, these aren't for you (as is with many other registers I have used from the bank). Simple solution; use a ballpoint. These registers meet my needs at a reasonable price! Will definitely order again.
