I have used this software for years and loved it. This year is a disappointment. There was not much info on filing Capital Gains and Losses on Cryptocurrencies and the little information I did receive from other sites was different from what was printed out with your software. Because I already paid for this software I didn't want to buy another brand. So I went with yours. I sure hope your's was right.
I have been using this software for many years, but recently it seems to have a problem using the e-file system. Something is obviously wrong in the software as the federal forms are rejected for something that is not even on the forms. All I get from support is sent from one person to another and yet no result. I will probably change next year to Turbo Tax to see if that works any better. I will file on paper now even though I have supposedly free filing, which is not working.
The program loaded and ran well. My experience completing the Federal part of the form went smoothly and I was able to e-file with no trouble.
Unfortunately, I discovered actual errors in the state (Arizona) program. The program mis-calculated an exclusion I was not eligible for and further mis-calculated a tax credit that had to be removed from deductions. This same problem has happened with previous year returns. I can correct it manually, but I should not have to.
Also, I am unable to e-file my state return because the program does not support a form needed for a particular charitable contribution! Instead, I am directed to go to my state website, download a copy by myself, fill it out then mail in my entire return. No convenience there!
I will not be recommending this program any longer although I used to be one of its biggest proponents.
I don't know how many years now that we have been using this software, but it has always been a breeze to use. The compilation of info from year to year is seamless.
I have been using HRBlock Deluxe for several years and I could not be happier. Easy step-by-step instructions and explanations reduce my anxiety and get the job done fast. Over the years, I have dealt with moving to a different state, selling my home and the ACA mandates. This program handled it all. I have been able to complete my taxes, submit them and have them accepted on the same day. I have never had any problems.
Fed taxes finished in mid February. Easy. Font on instructions could be a tad bigger. I increased font on my screen but then instructions ran off screen and I couldn't read them. Font used is ridiculous small.
