I have used H&R Block software for many years and have always found it to be easy to use and very robust. In-program help and tips are very useful and on-line help when needed has been prompt and thorough.
I have used H&R Block Tax Software for years and never encountered a problem. It is truly a fine product, and I will continue to purchase it in the future.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Downloaded software from email and it had issues. Took forever to download. When I tried to print it hung up and I had to shut down. Uninstalled & reinstalled and had same problems. Software had a huge error in transferring interest and dividend total from Federal to State of AL. I reported on Feb 24 & finally got it resolved on Mar 17.
on 3/20 - FINALLY, your application was able to connect to your update center for the first time this tax season? Why is that? Why were there no unfinished federal forms back in February, but I still couldn't file federal tax? Why could I not access the Virginia state tax that I paid for, until yesterday?
I’ve been using the software for 15 years. Needs one improvement— give the option to choose the standard deduction from the start. I’ve never been able to itemize but the software makes me go through all the entry anyhow. I don’t want to waste my time entering data just to be told I should choose the standard deduction when I already know that’s what I need and want to do. I could have my returns done in 15 minutes instead of 90. Please make this update H&R!!!!
