We are retired with no mortgage expense and based on our income we will always be better off with the standard deduction. Why can't we just have the option to skip all the deduction questions and skip straight to "standard deduction"? I'm thinking about going back to paper, it would be faster and results would be the same. Also, whenyou get to error correction, why can't you just pree a button and go to the appropriate form to make the correction.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Each year I purchase the Deluxe version as early as possible to get an early start and to familiarize myself with any new tax laws and updates. I use last year’s return to propagate as much data as possible for the new tax year. Then, I estimate and enter my financial data to provide a ballpark figure of my tax status, and enter actual data as it arrives from various financial institutions. After I go through the entire process sequentially for the first time, I then revisit individual sections that need follow up or further analysis. Finally, I create a copy of my tax return file and use it to keep a running, rough estimate of taxes for the coming year, and to determine whether to make quarterly estimated tax payments for the coming year.
I've used this software for years and never had a problem e-filing. This year, however, I got error after error in attempting to e-file my return stating that the software couldn't connect with the IRS. My Internet connection is fine, however. Worse yet, I received an email stating that the IRS had accepted my return, but the software itself still tells me that the return has not been filed. This is a huge problem for H&R Block if it is misleading consumers into thinking that they've e-filed when they haven't. H&R Block needs to fix this problem ASAP.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!
