I have used H & R Block for years to prepare my taxes. It's pretty easy to do if you organize your backup papers before you begin. One of the good features is the information from previous returns will roll over and save time looking up or entering the old information. Now the only complaint I have is this year the font on the software package was so small I had a headache after using it for awhile. The font was about the size of text on pill bottle instructions. Now this might be okay just to read directions for an instant, but preparing taxes like this was difficult. Did not find any place to enlarge the text and even asked a friend that had previously done hers. She said it was the same for her. Had to take small breaks and look at something else before finishing the return. The rest of the software worked fine.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Block software provides accuracy and thoroughness. I worked part-time as a tax preparer and use this software to save time and file electronically. The program caught an error I made due to changing tax laws. I recommend it.
The interview plus menus were easy to use. The help info was helpful. For a person of low vision, there were some parts, particularly accuracy check, that were not accessible. I also had trouble choosing the printer to print the completed forms.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I’ve used H&R Block Tax software (aka Taxcut) for more than 30 years. It’s easy to use and has explanations for most tax adjustments. Plus it’s competitively priced. I recommend this product.
