Just signed up. I am probably your ideal user. I work 100% on 1099, I buy my own health insurance, and I wouldn't mind paying you if the service was a net gain for me.

My thoughts:

1) The sign up form has a First________Last name field. I thought I would tab from First and land on a hidden Last field because of the gap between the two. Tabbing just moved me down to the next set of fields. If the words First and Last had been closer, I would not have been confused.

2) I cannot type in the date in the New Earning report. It sucks to click 5 times to get to Jan 31, Feb 28 etc.

3) I expected some Q&A about my consulting/tax profile. I file jointly with my wife who is on W2. I expense out things like home-office, cellphone bills etc. I would love to specify these in advance/batch so the tax estimate is more accurate. I don't want to put in every identical phone bill manually.

4) You don't cover Florida for health insurance yet. Understandable for a beta but please don't make this service just for CA/NY.




All good points. (1) and (2) are easy fixes. (3) is on the way. And (4) is definitely coming soon - we won't just be for CA/NY.
