Whether I’m using the Basic or Deluxe software, I’d like to be presented with the Standard Deduction amount and if I choose to take it, be able to skip filling out the itemized deduction.
Most importantly: For the state of Utah software, please remove the requirement to provide the State and State Payer’s ID number because not all 1099-R from institutions show these information. For example Chase Bank do not provide their State Payer’s ID. The Utah state return keeps giving an Item Error message pertaining to this entry when it is left blank.
I bought the hr block Deluxe + State software and installed on a pc. It was easy to use as always. There is a small miscalculation in the software on MO state 1040 form where it calculated amount of tax owed. The state caught the error after filing and I got a bigger refund. I thank GOD for that!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Program was difficult to navigate between pages, especially when reviewing. The Program updates wouldn't load. I couldn't pay the calculated fines because of this. Kept getting error messages.
