I've used tax preparation software for 30 years. For many years I used TurboTax but it got too expensive so I switched to H&R Block. It's been great, it has saved me money and It's easy to use!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
There is a mistake in the PA State Program. It is carrying bank interest over incorrectly from the Federal Program. It added $500 incorrectly to my interest.
Also The wording in the State of Maryland program was confusing for someone looking to get a full state tax refund for working part time as a nonresident as PA was also taxing the same pay. PA and MD have a taxing agreement that if you are a full time Resident in PA you don't have to pay the tax to MD.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
Very user friendly and easy to use. Because I’ve used it for several years, it retrieves my previous filings so all I need to do is update the numbers and include additional information if i need to.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Easy to use, error correcting mechanism included, E-file a part of the price. Have used this software for years and would not consider using anything else.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Most importantly is it's ease of use. The intuitive software asks questions and provides answers to questions that come up while navigating the software.
Everything about the software was great. Easy to use, complete. The price was the selling point for me to purchase to begin with. And the filing fee (federal was free) was right up front. I have some experience with the major competitor, but H&R is the better deal all around. Thank you.
