Not as easy to use as the personal products. It doesn't go to the form view as well.

The TX State Franchise Tax return (purchased separately) was not included in the printout.

Thinking that no one whould notice in this booming economy, Intuit has decided to stealthly change the terms of the license agreement to grab as much money as they can. What next? A per minute fee you must pay to use software which you already purchased in addition to the $10 per return? Do yourself a favor and just use another product from someone less slimy.
