Very easy to use. It takes you through all the various screens: enter information on the screens that pertain to use and ignore the others. When finished, you can send it directly to the IRS. Within 24 hours, you will know if the return was accepted or not.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Good software but I was charged an extra 9.95 for online filing even though I had a code that was emailed to me when I bought the software online. HR does not police how its secondary sellers are operating. Ever $ counts - next year I'll use turbo.
I've been using H&R Block Deluxe for over 10 years and have always had an exceptional experience. Easy to use and understand. A must for people who want to know their 1040 tax return completely.

I completed the federal return and then the free state return for Maine. The standard deduction for Married filing jointly over 65 years old for Maine is $25,700. The program gave me $27000. The nontaxable pensions for Maine was calculated incorrectly. I filed my tax return on the Maine Income tax fast file site. The resulting refund was very different.
I found some of the entries (Federal) a little confusing. More descriptive help would make your service better. Overall, I like the program and plan to continue using it. More help with state taxes would also be beneficial.
In Schedule NR for State of Michigan, your tax software entered incorrect income into all three columns. It looks like your software doesn't recognize resident income from non-resident income. In the City of Detroit Nonresident Income Tax Return Form, your software defaultly keyed in my name & social security # as the filer which is supposed to my wife's name & ss#. I had to print out all the forms and keyed in the information by hand.
