I purchased H&R Block deluxe and I didn't get confirmation that my taxes were accepted until the next day. I cannot even locate my tax forms when I open my H&R Block software even though I saved them at the end of the program when prompted. My brothers tax forms are there but mine are not
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
it was a little clunky compared to my experience with turbo tax. saving as a pdf was also a little bit of a chore... should be one click to save as pdf. good price
I have used the software for the first time after many years during which I had the taxes prepared by an accountant. I found it greatly improved. It is easy to use and to file the taxes (simultaneously) to both the IRS and to the state (PA in my case). Except for one thing (not being able to find easily a form for the state) the program was perfect for my purposes. I have to mention that I am retired and that myself and my wife derive the income from a combination of distributions and SS benefits.
I switched to H&R Block software last year (2018 Return) due to a big price increase in the software I had used for many years. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy to follow and understand the progress through the tax return both last year and this year (2019 Return) and so I plan to continue using it next year and I recommend it.
The program worked very smoothly. The link to my investment house was very good, but only allowed me 1 download. It then would not download the accounts a 2nd time. I had made a mistake and wanted to correct each account but could not do it. I ended up deleting my entire first federal return and starting all over again. The second attempt to do my federal return and download my financials worked, and I didn't make the same mistake I made the first time I tried to complete a return.
I have used H&R Block Software for many years to prepare our income taxes. Using the last year comparison feature helps to prevent errors by missing an entry.
Excellent and easy product to use. I haven’t done my own taxes for years but decided to try again this year. The steps were clear and concise. I’m very happy with the product
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
