For whatever reason the software didn't auto go to my state return after fed. Kind of stalled after filling fed. Had to manually go back to state to start it. Figure before efile fed it should have started state? Everything else was great.
This is the 5th or 6th year I have used this. I did have one pretty big problem: I have several rental properties. The program was not intuitive in letting me know when I was working one property vs. another. It would be helpful if the program identified which property I'm working on throughout the income/depreciation and expense process.
I'm an HRB tax preparer who uses this product for my complex personal return, and have done so for years. I also use it for family returns when I run out of company-provided "Friends and Family" money for normal, in-office HRB returns. The software is great, even though some features vary a little from the in-office producct.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
I am disappointed with the software this year. Firstly I did not understand that when I bought it on line, I needed to download right away. As it is, my window expired and had to buy again. This time the download for the State did not work. It truncates my taxable income of $159,600.00 to $159.00 and there appears no means to change this.
Bought the package, could not find a super cheap deal as in past years. Entered all the info, went to E-file; stuck in an endless cycle where the stupid thing wanted to update before filing. After 5 times, I was done and killed some trees. Plus HR block does not get the state efile fees I was willing to give them. Next year all paper forms, should be easier.
