Some have had good luck with them, and others have complaints, you have to judge for yourself . See a lot of threads on here about it. Wish you well.
Easy but costly. Setting up the tax account is very easy. The link provided previously will get you going. You don't need to send in coupons if you are willing to file online. They will withdraw the tax from a checking account you designate, as someone said earlier, you have to submit a monthly return even if the tax is zero. Takes about 10 seconds for the zero return and about 60 seconds if there is tax due.
