I did my return with TaxAct this year and did not follow the linear wizard. Rather, I clicked around and entered various forms as I received them (a 1095-A, then a 1099-MISC, then a W-2, etc).
TaxAct does not handle this well and may end up generating a bad return. In my case, I entered a 1095-A before entering my self-employment income. The return ended up giving me credits/deductions for my health insurance that summed up to a larger amount than the premiums I actually paid. It was glaringly obvious when I checked the return over.
To fix it, I had to go back and remove/re-add the 1095-A. But I probably would have filed it with the incorrect amounts had I not double-checked the return.
Be careful out there!
