Same here – if you like doing your taxes on paper, AND you post on this site, you'll love it & it'll save you some cash over Turbotax/friends.

I will say it isn't the most user friendly application, as evidenced by the error I received this year by email:

    Issue : Business Rule X0000-005 - The XML data has failed schema validation. cvc-complex-type.2.4.a. Invalid content was found starting with element `QualifiedCareExpensesPaidAmt`. One of `{"http://www.irs.gov/efile":IdentityProtectionPIN, "http://www.irs.gov/efile":QualifyingPersonSSN, "http://www.irs.gov/efile":DiedLiteralCd}` is expected.

    The following information may help you determine the form at issue:
    Field/Xpath: /efile:Return[1]/efile:ReturnData[1]/efile:IRS2441[1]/efile:QualifyingPersonGrp[2]/efile:QualifiedCareExpensesPaidAmt[1]
It did help me find the form & line at issue instantly, but I'm not sure a non-programmer would have as much luck.
