I have struggled for years doing our taxes Satimanually then putting them in the mail and waiting months to get our refund. Last year my sister-in-law invited me to share her H&R Block electronic tax software. It was easy to learn, even for an old timer like me. When I finished the Fed and State returns and hit Send, it felt good. Our refund was received in weeks not months. We used it again this year and will continue from now on. Thanks H&R Block.
I have been using H&R software for years. The question/answer approach makes filling out tax forms easy. All info from current year is saved for future years.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've used this program for years. I like that it imports last year's info, and even imports tax statements from my broker. But this year IRS rejected my return, because of a problem with Block's software. A fix is coming in a few days, and I'll try again. Otherwise, the program was easy to use.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Easy to use interview process and imports last year's HRB tax return. Lets you know when next update is due and what it's for. So we were able to file as early as possible. And it's accurate, unlike another vendors product used (many) years ago where we had to refile our federal return.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
