establishing credentials last year seemed a bit tricky, but everything was saved for this year and the process was a breeze.
Expand to more states and users. This is the way taxes should be done, short of just receiving a check or a bill.

This really is an awesome service. I hope that it doesn't get gutted and privatized like everything else is. Dealing with the scam tax filing companies is the worst.
Incredibly fast and easy to file. I think it took maybe 20 minutes to get all my documents together and fill in the info
Make it easier to upload the documents, maybe even have a file upload center where we can store the docs and just hit submit to get everything filed
