I've always liked H&R Block software for ease of use -- just copying information from tax forms sent to me and the software enters everything on the right lines of the tax return. This year, however, after finishing my return, the company failed to do my e-file properly. It transmitted my information, but 6 days later, the IRS rejected my return due to a software error, requiring the company to push a fast update and requiring me to then repeat my e-file. It worked correctly for the last 14 years, though, so hopefully this is just a hiccup in performance.
THE H & R BLOCK DELUXE SOFTWARE IS COMPREHENSIVE YET EASY TO USE. I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATIONS BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE ACCURACY REVIEW PRIOR TO SUBMITTING MY TAX FILING ELECTRONICALLY.
For the second year in a row I had to play around with the e-file pin #. When the software asks for a pin it's not the 6 digit you get from the IRIS. THERE ARE NO CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THIS WORKS. FIX IT OR I GO BACK TO TURBO TAX.
I've been using this software for years and if you take the time and read each section , want have any problems. I do 2 to 3 returns every year usually mine and friends , the best part is the support you get if get audited , haven't needed yet but a piece of mind feature.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
