I have used this program for many years, when it was known as Tax Cut. Block makes changes every year to “improve quality or user friendliness “. Fact is, friendliness is on a downhill slide. I made the decision this year would be my last. I am going back to paper forms.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
The Deluxe + State software makes tax preparation about as easy as it can get. I make entries throughout the year as I receive my documents so that final submittal of my tax returns via Efile takes only a few minutes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
It did not include my state tax refund as income so I had to submit an amended return by hand. The state return got stuck at the end and would not report the results, so I had to also do this by hand and submit it separately. It turned out to be double the work.
