I was very well pleased with the software from H & R Block. It asked all the questions that I expected and I found it easy to navigate thru the process. The only problem I had was with the state return. How is it that I get 5 free filings with the federal return and I have to pay for the one filing that I had to due my state return. I would gladly give up 3 federal filings for 1 state filing fee.
Your instructions to amend a filed tax return isn't clear, as are many of your instructions. You tell me to click on "file". This word appears 2 places on the screen. Which one am I clicking on? It took me several tries to figure out "in the top upper left area. Why don't you show more picture examples or video links to click on showing what you are saying. Maybe even use YouTube videos?
Have used this program for 4 years and it is very consistent. I can match and compare my entries from last year to make sure I don’t miss anything. Only 1 suggestion & 1 quirk: 1. In FORMS: give an option to print the first 2 pages of the tax return as it will be filed. (Only print option gives you 7-8 or more pages) 2. Every year in Accuracy Review it errors me out when I put our State Sales Tax % in. It always errors if I put in 6 or 7% or any number. Otherwise the program is good.
Concerned the IRS acceptance time was listed as 4 hours After Eastern Daylight Saving Time???? (Submitted at 3:01 PM Eastern and it showed accepted at 7:01 PM ! Did the return go to Europe or some eastern foreign country? Baffling !!!
The software is OK. The search function could be more robust, actually finding relevant info to help the user complete the return. For example, the IRS did away with the contribution deduction outside of Schedule A. Instead of readily making such info available, I needed to Google the answer.
Never did figure out how to add an attachment to my State return. It automatically asked for one, which I did, but wasn't given the option to add another one that was required.
I had problems getting the 2021 taxes downloading to 2022. It left a lot out and I had to go back to the 2021 and copy or add the info myself. Never before happened. It was supposed to save time but it cost me a headache and a lot longer than ever before. I can’t give the best as all other years.
