Good software once again. My only reason for downgrading it one start this year is that it didn't seem to go through all the questions. I got to the end and realized it hadn't asked for my property tax payment info, so I had to go back and find that section to complete it. Turned out it didn't really matter as my standard fixed deduction turned out to be more than the itemized deduction.
I've used H&R software for nearly a decade, and the Federal return went fine. But when the software pulled my W2 for the PA state form (PA-40), it pulled our income from the wrong box and I was not able to file correctly. So, instead I went to the PA website, filed for free online (rather than paying to file through H&R block) and for the first time received a small state refund. I may file federal taxes with this software but again will I file state taxes with it.
The IRS rejected return stating that SSN & name did not match IRS records. Checked the data entry and both were correct. Checked what was printed and the first three numbers of the SSN printed as 542 rather than 524. The name printed correctly. Retyped the SSN and the printed copy matched the data entry and the IRS accepted the return.

H&R Block Tax Software is in my opinion the best tax software out there. I have used it for years and have never once been disappointed. I use to many years ago sit and figure my taxes long form, short form and in between to get the best tax out come and as you can guess that takes a lot of time to do. H&R Bock Tax Software does all of that for me automatically. They cover every aspect of my financial situation that you could possibly think of. It is truly a great Tax Software Program.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Used to use TurboTax but then switched when they jacked the price way up. Used H&R for several years but decided to switch back last year due to a good deal at costco. Don't bother. It was harder to use and I thought the explanations were less clear. H&R is better software for $30 less.
