I have used hr block for 5 years. This year for 2017 tax return, it does not allow e-file for my IL state return. Also when I try to print out forms for mail return, many numbers do not fit the blanks of PDF file with missing digits. Disappointed.
I have a suggestion concerning the interviewing of spouses. It would be so helpful if the interview screens & each follow screen identify which spouse is being interviewed.It is easy to get confused if you forget who's name is being interviewed.
I have been using the software for 23 years. The federal program is mostly good; although the 1040-ES form is difficult and not integrated. The state programs are mixed. I use CA MA PA & SC. PA is nearly worthless. I have asked and received a refund for the past two years. The state programs are overpriced considering their lack of functionality.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import
As I went through the "interview process" to fill out my Schedule K-1 information, I later changed some numbers and boxes where information was entered. I then ran the verification function, and it flagged the data I had gone back and changed as still in the form (and incorrect). The only way I could get rid of the bad data was to delete the K-1 form and start over adding a new one. It obviously did not really change the entered information even though it changed it in the data entry section.
