I used the e-file for the first time and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to submit my tax info and the quick follow up showing my info had been received at the IRS office.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Works well. The state program need to be improved to handle K 1 data entry. It is confusing as our K 1 has two columns and the software is not clear on which to use nor which line to enter the data from and to.
Generally capable and easy enough to use. But this past year I bought an electric car and bought and had installed a level-2 home charger and enjoyed rebates and credits, except for the charger installation. H&RBlock did not include Form 8911 to claim the charger installation tax credit, which had been extended for this tax year. Online forums recounted efforts to have HR Block support Form 8911 without success, claiming it was not an individual credit but a business credit. The other major tax program DID include this form for individual returns. So disappointed about this omission.
Had a straight forward year (no big out of state moves, no major financial changes), and completed everything on a Sunday morning. Still had to do a couple google searches for clarification, but complication is more about the tax code than the software. Ex: HSA deductions in California.
I have used this product for a while now. I'm comfortable using it . Even though I haven't used any other tax software products, I trust H&R block helps me to properly prepare the forms
I have been using H&R Block software for about 7 years and I love it. It is so easy to use and if you don't understand something, it is explained within the program, plus they give you other resources to go to if you need to.
I was not happy that I had to pay to file my state tax return. Last year both federal and state tax filing were free. Next year will go elsewhere to get both my federal and state taxes done free unless you offer both free again.
