Software is easy to navigate and use, taxes are completed and filed within an hour. The only issue I have actually has nothing to do with the software and everything to do with the fact that this and other tax prep companies lobby to keep US tax code more complicated than necessary so as to promote their products and services.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have used your deluxe tax software for many years and very happy it. Easy to use. Data from previous year filled in from file. Completely satisfied with the product.

The program is great until you get into K1 stuff. Then it just doesn't know what to do to guide you through it. We had to do the program and paper versions to understand what the program was talking about with K1 entries.

As usual, most everything was fine. The one exception was the small W2 entry. When I answered the last quetion about uncollected SS and Medicare amounts, the program went into an endless loop . Only way I could get my computer to do anything at that point was to shut it down and rebut. Did this twice and then bypassed the last question and continues on.
Overall, H&R Block got me through taxes, but I think they fell short on the State Level, and, especially, things from the state data that I needed for Federal taxes. I had to spend a lot of time on my own to figure out how to apply Publication 525 Recoveries data regarding "special situation" of my state taxes and refund (not all that ''special''). It was complicated, and I felt that the H&R Block software had all the data it needed to figure this out for me, but it didn't. And it didn't help much in guiding me to what I needed to know. I felt H&R Block really dropped the ball on this one! Further, as I mentioned above, their California State software is weaker than it should be, but better than no software.
