I used the trial to fill out an application, but had no reason to subscribe further. The software is easy to use and very useful. I attempted to cancel auto-renewal but i got an email saying I was charged for a year subscription. After contacting customer service, the charge was cancelled within 5 minutes. I was impressed with how quickly and thoroughly they responded to my issues!

In order to be accepted electronically, a 1040EZ must contain the name and social security number as it is on record with the IRS. If you're expecting a refund by direct deposit, always verify that you've included the correct routing and bank account number to avoid any delays or at worst case, loss of refund.
You got this—all you have to do is start! The Form 1040EZ no longer exists for use by taxpayers, but previous EZ filers may still qualify for a “simple return.”
However, filing with Form 1040EZ is no longer an option. This form has since been replaced by Form 1040 and Form 1040-SR, depending on your tax situation.
