IRA ENTRY/OBSCURE

The entry for IRA Distribution was obscure, missed it when following the questions for reporting income.I knew my refund amount was too much. Only when I looked at the completed 1040 form did I realized the IRA Distribution block had no amount entered.
They hold you hostage with the state tax. Will not let you print out your federal unless you buy the state. Try a couple different ways to get around it but their software is tricky. It wouldn't recommend it time to go to a different software program.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
Always good deals on it if you watch for them. Have used both this and Turbotax over the years and this one with only a couple exceptions. easy to follow and do, I recommend this to any taxpayer.
I have been using H&R Block for years. I haven't had any trouble with efile in the past, but this year the updates were different. Eventually I realized the format had changed, but it worked very smoothly when I figured out where to get the updates. The program would not allow me to file until I had the updates. This was a good feature, but difficult for me to discover. I was getting frustrated with thinking I would have to go back to mailing in my return.
