I have used H&R Block for many years. I have always counted on it's accuracy and the easy interview to complete my tax fillings. Now that I am retired and only qualify to file standard and age deduction, the expense for the application is excessive. I will be using the free programs offered by the IRS and my state.
Every step is easy until you get to save as a pdf. You have to install PDF995 which is okay, but there are no instructions on how to save. Took me a while to figure out you have to hit "Print" and then either a window pops up to save or you have to minimize the window to see this. When I hit "send" my e-file, a window popped up saying I had to update H&R Block and then sent me to another window. I wasn't really sure if I had e-filed!!!! The software all of the several years before this was simpler. Updates would pop up upon opening the program, not in the middle of sending!
This tax program takes you through the tax preparation process in a clear and logical way. It makes completing a correct and complete federal tax return about as easy as possible given our complex tax laws. I would not attempt to do my tax return without this helpful program. This excellent program is offered at a reasonable price.
H&R Block is the easiest. software to use when filing your return. The page after page of topics makes it very easy to do your return. Other programs that are available are very difficult compared to Block's. I've been using it for over 20 years and I find that it is only better the next year. I do my friends returns on it too!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
I've used H&R software for many years and have never had any issues with the program. It's easy to use and I feel confident that the program helped me obtain the refund I'd hoped to receive.
