I wonder if the reason they don't use the draft forms is that once the forms are programmed, they need IRS signoff. And in fact, now that I think about it, that is probably why there is no marketing of forecasting or strategy - because the IRS wouldn't care about that; the IRS would only care about the tax reporting being correct comes April 15.
The product DOES allow you to do your taxes.... because the programming behind the forms is signed off by the IRS by the time the submission window opens. It just doesn't allow an easy use to forecast the implications of year end tax planning strategy, ESPECIALLY in a year where there are a lot of tax law changes.
