Something that could be made easier is the ability to view/print estimated tax payment vouchers. I had quite a bit of back and forth to find the vouchers and to print them.
Have used H&R Block (Taxcut) for many years. Consistently one of easiest to use, supports multiple methods for importing data from brokers, banks, previous years, etc. Supports many of the more arcane needs (like self-employed, farming, rentals, property sales, etc.) and has an excellent error checking and analysis engine (only one to recommend methods to report income and expenses that result in lesser taxes, allows for "what if" scenarios, etc.)
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Cost for second state is more that I paid for Fed and State package . Price gouging. And function requires me to update forms vs dialogue. Next year, I may think twice about any tax SW. H&R block, you can do better.
Ive been using H&R software for years. Its very easy to use and user friendly unlike some of the others that ive used. I enjoy knowing that most of my information is already filled in from the information used from previous years. It is really simple to do and I know help is available if i have any issues or questions. Maximum refund guarantee is also a plus!!
