After many years of buying H&R BASIC, I bought Deluxe this year since I knew I would have issues with an "Underpayment Penalty" calculation as most of my income was in November and December. Unfortunately, Deluxe did not handle the calculations for me and I had to again do all the time-consuming calculations manually as I have had to do with Basic.
Since I’ve done my taxes manually in the past, I pretty much know the context behind some of the interview questions, which makes answering them much easier. My son, however, has more difficulty, having none of the background knowledge. Some of the interview questions need more explanation.
Ninth year in a row using the H&R Block Deluxe software. Never had a problem and the software is easy to use. Importing the prior year’s file could be a bit easier but it works.
I think that experienced tax users should be able to identify upfront in the program what the items are they need to enter so that they don’t have to waste all that time paging through the software.
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!
