Wonder how it'll compare to FreeTaxUSA? I've had very good luck with that the last few years.

Ideally it will advance to emulate whats common in the EU : the tax service sends you a "we think you owe this. If correct, please confirm amd youre done. If not, please amend and then youre done."

This isn't that proactive yet, but all the bones are there.
