I have used H&R Block tax software for my Federal and State returns for more than 10 years without a problem. It conveniently imports my prior year's data to simplify entry. I have never had a problem with my returns or their submittals. I plan on using again next year and recommend the software to others.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've used HR Block software for 20 yrs so know how it works. I usually skip the interview and just fill out forms. Some stuff is complicated (thanks congress) so then I use parts of interview and double check the results. Filing an amended return is tricky and manually done so that could be better. I like the compare to last year as it helps validate what I've entered. Could have better help built in or links to help.
That it has less import options from financial institutions. Last several years I’ve had 3 different financial banks not import the 401K. After 20 years or so with you, we are DONE.
You spend a lot of time answering questions without knowing where the answers will go. It would be nice to have an option to fill in the forms directly.
No. There were errors preventing anyone who received alimony from filing. It was rejected repeatedly and I reported it but no one helped. I was put on hold every day for hours and left there till I gave up and did my taxes by hand.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
