The software user experience was about on par with other types and the cost was slightly better than TT. However, not ALL investments were covered by this software, and our state returns were not accepted due to formatting errors with the software and we had to print and mail instead of e-file as we were rejected twice with error codes of "Formatting errors, contact your software provider."
I have been using H&R Block Deluxe for many years now and like it very much. It is easy to install, easy to use, clear and well organized. My taxes are not complicated and H&R Block is so well organized that I can complete and submit my federal and state taxes with just a couple of hours of work. I love the electronic filing, saves me from printing out return, making a copy, and going to the post office!
I've used the H&R Block software now for about 8 years. I love that it imports items from the previous year to help save time. That also helps remind of what I entered last year so I don't forget. I continue to use it because it works!
Everything I needed was provided in an easy to follow method. Follow up guidance to fix a problem was smooth and accurate. I’d recommend H&R Block tax software to everyone.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I’ve used the software for over ten years and have been happy with it. Unfortunately, the last two years that I attempted to file an extension, the actual return was transmitted, which required an amended return. Still don’t know what went wrong. I’ll try the other software next year.
Easy to use, but not reliable. Did my taxes and saved the file. Then on July 15th, I expected to open the file, e-file and pay my taxes. Nope. The file wouldn't open. Something about a header block. So, I got to go through the entire process again, start to finish.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
