This application did everything I needed, and I fell confident that H&R has my back if I get audited. But I am more confident that I more likely will not be audited. I really like their check for possible problems and the chance to fix the issues. It’s a very easy app, too!
I don't have overly complicated taxes; maybe a bit more complicated than average person with some investments, HSA, basic deductions; but no need for things that might simplify for things like self employment, kids, health, alt min tax, etc. Pros: - 5 e-filings allow me to do my,and some senior families forms - Consistent user experience year to year - Imports are a snap
Cons: - Don't like how I have to keep saying "NO!" to do I want State income tax forms. Once I say I don't need it stop wasting my time asking over and over again. - not intuitive on how to find/edit previous reponses; can get there but takes a few clicks - wish more Investment firms, Banks, and employers were available when doing searches for 1099s, W2s, and such
Well designed, thorough, and easy to use. My go to program for many years. While you can use a "free" web based tax program, do you really want all that personal information floating in the cloud? I'll invest a little cash for my privacy, please.
