HRB software does a great job explaining all fine points (if needed), and I have confidence in the calculations. I've been using it for years. One small issue that is fine once you learn it: for municipal bond funds, for example, there's a page to enter "the amount that's tax free in your state." 1099s will express that as a percent but the software wants the dollar amount, so you multiply your total dividends by the percent. At first, I entered the percent instead, and that doesn't work because the software treats the percent figure as a dollar amount. That page might state by the box - (Dollar amount).
I have used your software for Many, many years. I trust the accuracy and ease of use. This past year I experienced a problem that was really frustrating. I prepare My tax return as well as my ex-husbands, my two adult children, and now three of my adult grandchildren. Unfortunately, you only allow 5 free e-files with the purchase of the software. The info from the software said that I could purchase additional e-files, and I tried to do this, but the software kept telling me that I had reached my limit and there was no way to e-file, that I would need to print my return and mail it in. I finally went on line to your on-line, free e-file site and reentered all information and was able to file both the federal AND state forms for free on the two returns that I still needed to file. It did occur to me that I probably could have prepared all seven of the returns on your FREE e-file site (they are all simple returns) and not had to pay any federal OR STATE fees for any of them......... Just a thought.... As a side note, I truly appreciate the free on-line e-file site, and I sincerely THANK YOU for making tax filing season so much easier and more affordable. I recommend H & R Block to ALL my friends.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
