I bought this software for one reason - so I could eFile my returns. So what happens when I do try to eFile? "Bad Gateway" ALL day Apr 14 and 15. Those are sorta critical dates for tax software. Have lost my confidence.
OK, so I waited until the last day. Knew something bad would happen and it did. HR Block server down most of 4/15/24 so could not file electronically. Finally filed Federal mid-afternoon but had no option to file state separately, so had to mail it. Option to file state did appear after Fed was accepted by IRS, but too late in day for comfort.
It's easy to go step by step through the program and it is nice to have information to explain what is being asked. It's reasonably priced and the version I chose included one state return.
I use this software each year. I love that it stays consistent. I do have one suggestion. I did my son's taxes on a free program suggested by the IRS. On it, they have the previous year's figures in one column next to this year's figures (on the summaries). When I am doing our taxes, I flip back and forth looking at how we compare to last year's return. That just made it easier to compare.
I've been using H&R Block tax software for over 25 years! It's very easy to use and with my experience using the software, I can complete my taxes in 15 minutes!
