My taxes aren't especially complex and the software handles everything fairly smoothly UNTIL the final review. Then it turns into a very frustrating experience, as the software flags numerous "errors" that MUST be "fixed" before I can e-file, but very little help is provided on HOW to correct the problems -- where to go, what to change, etc. -- and sometimes even tells me I can't do what the IRS form has already let me do! I took me less than an hour to enter the original data, but MORE than an hour to "fix" it. So no, I would not recommend this software.
Have used this software for years. For the past two years have not been able to down load data from my brokerage (Schwab) accounts. One of primary reasons to use software.
H&R Tax software covers all the important areas for our tax returns using an easy to follow format. I have used it for over ten years without a problem.
Product functions fine for Federal Taxes. However, the 'packaging' stinks. How many people really need to submit 5 federal returns? One or two might be appropriate. The product should also include one state return for no additional charge. Summary: Good product / Poor marketing and packaging
