This is my 11 th year of using the HR Block software. It is very easy to record W2 income, and 1099 simple interest, dividends and foreign interest. However it is not so easy for bond income, accrued interest, original issue discount, amortized bond premium. The HR Block sections and their questions are confusing. The easiest way is to figure these on paper and just enter the result.
I've used H & R Block tax software for many years. It makes it easier as it imports the information from the prior year and the deduction pro makes it easy to list non-cash donations.
Been using HR Block (Tax Cut) for over thirty years. Ease of use, accurate and with past year figures brought forward makes for quick completion of FED and state returns.
The company instituted some sort of security check that made it impossible for members of my family to file our returns from the same pc without calling an 877 number. Probably trying to force us to do it online for more money.
