Excellent software! I understand that tax needs vary by individuals and this product worked well for me. Easy to use and loaded with information. I have been using this product for years and will continue to due so!
After 18 years of using Taxcut, we are DONE! Everything has been going perfectly until I tried to submit my 2021 return! The IRS rejected it!
I spent several hours tracking down the cause...incorrect math in my itemized deductions medical expenses. It took zeroing all of them to get a different error.
Several more hours to determine that my long & short term capital loss carryover was causing the problem. So I zeroed those out as well!
The IRS finally accepted my return.
THEN I got a letter from the IRS claiming my dependents were too old. WHAT DEPENDENTS??? That's NOT what I saw on the screen nor were any dependents on my printed copy! I have not had nor declared any dependents since I divorced my wife and her daughter 29 years ago!!!!! I'm still awaiting their response to my reply 3 months ago.
In short, your team of programmers has forgotten one of the most important rules of making changes to an existing program...regression testing! When something gets changed, it's important that it didn't 'break' something elsewhere and seemingly unrelated! It' like a sloppy mechanic fixing the brakes and causing the A/C to stop working. The newly printed college IT degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on! Oh...I'm a retired mainframe computer consultant with over 40 years in the business!
overall, the HRB software and guided input works just fine. I did have a problem with the refund calculation: HRB said I would get $1400 MORE than the IRS paid me. That was a disappointment.
I have found it accurate and accepted by IRS and State with no formal audit. One time a Qualified Charitable Contribution was questioned by IRS and via IRS web site, I was able to send additional info and mater was solved as return was filed
