No good if you need form 8938

The Deluxe 2021 software claims to support form 8938 Statement of Specified Foreign Assets, but it turns out that you can't e-file your return if you have entries in the form.
I do not recommend this product for anyone who needs form 8938 and will not be using H&R block next year.
Filling out federal taxes was ok. Filling out North Dakota taxes was not. There was no question regarding state taxes withheld for non-residents. Had to go into the form to override. Now it is not letting me efile along with my federal form. Not nice.
One minute it excepts it … the next it’s rejected. Changes every few minutes!! It was done correctly but won’t e file… I’ve had over 6 e mails!! Ridiculous!!!
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
The program is a good price if you do not have a complicated tax return. However, I found it very difficult to get even a basic tax pro question answered. I honestly don't know if importing information from IRS didn't work because of H&R Block or IRS. Also don't know if anything was done by H&R Block to maximize my return.
The software worked great till the end when i want to file and it won't let be bypass all the planning questions at that end for retirement and next year taxes
I have used this program for the past 15 plus years and I have never had any problems doing my taxes or others. It is very easy and self-explanatory. The program basically does the work for you.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
