H&R Block Deluxe software is easy as 1,2,3. Just have all the tax preparation documents ready at your possession and you're ready to rock. It helps you "baby steps" all the way at no time and it's fun.
Too many times the program does not allow me to correct data that is wrong, like my brother's age, or other data it fills in and does not tell me where to go to change it.... or it just does not allow the change. When I override it, the program tells me I won't be able to e-file... very confusing.
I've used HR BLOCK to do my family's taxes for many years. When I had 4-5 filings to do, the cost of HR BLOCK was relatively cheap per filing, and although there are now FREE tax preparation packages online that I could use, I have continued to BUY yours. However, I'm now down to 2 filings a year, and both are very simple. I may try one of the free packages available next year.
Have used for at least 10 years. The software is good and easy to use. Keeps you out of trouble with the final check of your Fed and State returns. Great guide and you have the ability to ask questions & get further clarity.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
