The quality of the program declined substantially this year. I contact the company about several substantial errors in the program which either did not describe the rules correctly or did not calculate correctly. One was fixed. The other you had to read the pop-up notes to find out what you were doing was not allowed.
Can not transfer software when I had to replace my computer. Very disappointed. After years using H&R, I will be researching for another software provider.
Have used HR Block software in the past, will not use again. It is extremely difficult to navigate within the program, you must close out the return to go to the actual worksheet and then close that to return to the form to make corrections. Extremely time consuming. Very difficult for the 2019 taxes because it refers you back to the 2018 worksheets which are useless in many cases because of the tax code changes for 2019. Had a very, very difficult time with the Schedule A Itemized deduction form because the 2018’s was very different. Searching the 2018 form referred you back to 2017.!!!!
I had my taxes complete and decided to file them last night. The software indicated there was a update to the Federal Tax software. I started the updated, not sure what happen but application deleted my save tax file, even last year!!! I had to start from scratch and re-enter all my data!!!
I found this a bit difficult to navigate and I could not find many of the deductions that I would normally take. I had to have the taxes redone by an accountant.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
