No longer supporting the CARES Act retirement distribution forms for 2021 resulting in having to delay return filing and use another provided. Didn’t find out until Mid-March when all the forms we finalized and it was past the return window
This program supports returns from taxpayers who receive K-1s, but failed to suppoer the filing of form 7203 which is required to be filed for taxpayers who received non dividend distributions from s corps. Not only did it not indicate that it was required, the form isnt even available in the software to complete manually.
I had a problem with the NJ State program. A refund from my 401k for excess contributions. The State program added it as a distribution after copying Federal wages that already included it as regular wages. If I hadn't checked it manually I would have overpaid State taxes.
I have been using Block's software for the last 8 years. It is thorough and easy to follow, and I've seen steady improvements with it every year in many small ways. While my taxes are not overly complicated, I depend on Block to know and deal with the yearly tax code changes that do affect me. They have never let me down. Strongly recommend.
I have used H&R Block Tax Software yearly since the early 1990’s and have always found it to be reliable and easy to use. The software uses an interview to guide you through the process and is comprehensive so as to not leave any topic uncovered. It’s quick and easy to use and I’ve always had confidence in using this software.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I did the return for my daughter. It's a good program, not diff to use and if there was any room for improvemt, I left feedback at the time - March or so this yr.
