Not fit for purpose
I can’t comment on the Windows version of this software – perhaps the developers thought no-one with a Mac would ever want to to submit a partnership tax return and focused all of their energy on the former.
I purchased the Mac version for £33, and there is absolutely nothing to justify even a penny of that price. Instead of providing a piece of software to download and install, the Mac version has to be used in an unsecured browser window, hosted by a server that made me wonder whether I was on a dial-up modem. The user interface adds to the retro feeling of computing in the 90s. Documentation for using the software is scattered and unhelpful, and the software itself is more bug-ridden than a cheap motel bed. So much so that it is impossible to submit the tax return successfully.
Save yourself time, frustration and money. Avoid.
