I was comparing it to TurboTax and found that both are almost the same except on the price point unfortunately I feel it is TurboTax tax is a bit better
The 8915E Form was not included in this product even though it was approved by IRS in February. Keep saying final update set for April 20th. The form was still not included in updates. Had to file my taxes late and wrong because form was not available.
We have used H&R Block Deluxe + State for 15+ years to prepare our federal and state tax returns. The software is easy to use and makes electronic filing simple and efficient. The interview questions guide you through the entire process with additional resources available should they be needed. The prior years return can be uploaded to use as the basis for the current return so you don't have to start from scratch and the software knows your prior GI, AGI, etc. Also, your tax documents (W-4, 1099's, etc) can be uploaded as well so the info doesn't have to be entered manually. I also like that they back up their product with humans that could assist should one be subject to an audit. As long as it remains a top-notch product, we'll continue to use this software for years to come.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I bought the program in April. I have been summiting my taxes everyday since the 18 of April. they have been Rejected every time. It is the 24th of April and I am sending my taxes by mail. I have been buying H&R Block for years and this will change my mind on buying this program again
