I have been using this product since the 1980's and loved it. I would have always rated it as excellent in the past. This year the state tax portion didn't work, I tried to fix a mistake, but it wouldn't let me make the change. Causing me to take my state return to an Accountant. Not only is this going to cost me a lot of money, but I don't know when I will get it back. I have always sent my tax returns in February or early March. It breaks my heart, that I don't know how I will do my taxes in the future.
This program is easy to use and I have been using it for many years. It's especially nice that it carries over much of the data from last year. I like the accuracy review at the end in case I have forgotten something.
I've used H&R Block tax software for several years after the competition jumped the price for a similar product and found it to be simpler to use and comprehensive for my income and investment situation. I'd like to see a bit more guidance on how to find worksheets, etc. but now that I've worked it out, I'm having no problem.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have used H & R Block tax software for most of this century. It has always made me feel confident that the numerous tax returns I file are being prepared correctly and in good order
I've been using H&R Block tax software for many years. I think the interview entry process is easier to understand and more complete than TurboTax but there are a few things which need improvement. 1. The software coding should be updated to allow saving forms in PDF format. It currently requires the download and installation of third party software, PDF995, which doesn't work well anyway. TurboTax has PDF capability built into the program. 2. If you need to change an earlier entry, you can't save the change and return to the same spot in the interview process. You must advance through every screen, pressing 'save' or 'finish' to get back to the place you were before. This is very tedious. Other than these issues, I like the software.
