Getting through to the point of submission was very manageable. But there was a delay in being able to submit for a few days due to an update. After the update, I e-filed but was rejected. The message said to wait until a date that already passed and that no changes were required. I resubmitted but was rejected again, same message as before. After the third submission the new message is there is a software problem and to wait up to a week to submit again. I used the software for the speed of e-filing using the “free” e-file benefit, which turned out to be of no value to me as filing on paper will be faster. I was also disappointed that the state software did not include form N-342. While Schedule CR is included, omission of N-343 from the software package prevents me from having the option to e-file.
I'm disappointed with the MAC version of this software. For many years, I've used H&R Block for Windows and loved it! This year I purchased an iMAC and purchased the MAC version and it's horrible. Unable to do updates automatically and does not let me close the interview "This interview isn't final. Visit the Update Center for release dates." I update and still it will not close it. I have to force quit to shut down the program.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
We have used this for several years. It is straightforward to use, answers questions, nicely brings over the data from the previous year, and otherwise makes life easy. It does updates smoothly even in a place with slower internet.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've been using h&r block for a long time now. The only issue I noticed with this year's product is I couldn't ascertain which forms were complete with the various updates.
I like this software and would have rated much higher until I got to the check box that said (this is not a direct quote) we can send your info anywhere we want including India. Did not check the box. It's to bad because I will probably change next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have used HR Block Program for over 20 years and have never had a problem until this year. Your major competitor's program did not have this problem. Why was the inherited IRA subprogram changed from the last 10 years I have used your software? HR Block needs to have better quality control be for releasing the program. I will be considering other options next year for doing our tax return.
