I use HR Block every year for the last 15 years to do my taxes and I love how the software imports last year's return info for me. All I do is go through the different interviews, enter my info and boom my tax returns are done, saved, and printed. You can efile if you choose.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I’ve relied on HR Block programs for years but was disappointed this year with its lack of up to date necessary forms to complete a relatively simple capital gains credit.
We’ve used H&R Block’s tax software since 2017 and find it so easy to complete. We have investments and interest and such, but the software explains what to put where.
I have used H&R Block for years but no longer. Switching to Turbo Tax. You don't have the latest forms to file i.e. Form 8911. Had to Google how to claim the deduction and found an unhappy forum about this subject (Level 2 charger installation credit). Learned how to file with this form but could not file electronically as I had to use form 3800.
I had read that there was a form missing for "electric cars" (which I did not have so I was not concerned). However, I had a W2 from Virginia Retirement Systems - They did not take out Federal or State taxes, so the spaces were "blank". So, I left them "blank" when I filled out my taxes. H&R Block Deluxe+State flagged it as an error. So, I filled in the yellow highlighted boxes with "0", but it still wouldn't take it. After trying many times and being very frustrated, I deleted my W-2 altogether and started over. Then, despite having our social security numbers in so many places, it was NOT putting it in for one of the W-2's - which, at first said was my husband's, but it was associated to MY W-2. I am not sure why it was so messed up, but if it happens again next year, I will change to a different company. I have NEVER had so much trouble using your program before!
I called to have a simple question answered I was placed on hold until I got tired of waiting if you cant answer the simple questions how can I rely on you for serious problems
Submitted my taxes, came back to check my return status and it said they were not submitted. However I received an email for both State and Federal acceptance of the tax file. Should have used TurboTax!
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
I can't wait to buy it every Fall. Its price beats its competitors, hands down. I love the way it guides me through each and every item. It gives me guidance I can understand, which means a lot. "Confident" does not come close to explaining how I feel about this tax preparation program.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
