The downside of TaxAct is that you need to have a lot of screens open. I also don't like the fact that it doesn't have linked infomation and FAQ with questions and answers type of topics. I also don't like the fact that you cannot import W-2's and 1099's.

You should also have some semblence of understanding how your taxes are suppose to look. Just in case the tax preparation software you're using messes up.
