I have been using this program for more than ten years with ease. The only problem I had was with the Foreign Tax Credit. Until this year it would not allow me to claim the $600 allowed without the 1116 form. Hence I had to send the return by mail only. The program appears to have changed a little bit this year by allowing FT credit to be claimed as a business expense. I hope that next year H&R will give us the option of either filling 1116 form or claim just the $600 credit without the 1116.
Having your servers down for 18 hours when I repeatedly tried to send my Federal Return and payment? Unacceptable. Unless you can remedy by implementing redundancy in your system, I will take my business elsewhere.
I received “flyer” from HB but don’t have access to scanner. Downloading from your flyer was a very very trying. Finally turned to another method and was successfull. FYI, I have used HB for at least 8 years but this may be the last time.
On 4/15 at 7:30 in the morning I tried to e-file my federal return and there was a problem notice about connecting to your server. Volume likely took you down at most critical time. Was able to file that night - lucky I was around to try again. Waited on hold on the phone for 1/2 hour until I had to give up. Also, don’t like support for foreign tax and QBI. Sub-par. Been with you for 20 years, but you haven’t kept up.
It seems software errors and miss queues are becoming more prevalent. You have to do better. Also, I should not have to pay again for state rejections when you failed to tell me I had a form I did not need coming from Federal return that was incomplete. I chose to not use it in state by screen choice but you left it hanging. Rejected.
