Federal disaster area? H&R Block tax software got my federal tax deduction by simply entering the FEMA code. That alone was worth having the software. As the tax code continues to get more complicated, the more I need H&R Tax software. I’ve been using this product for over 25 years!
The Software works well in general. However, I'm a Religious Healthshare subscriber (as are millions of American's that decided to save $30K a year vs. Obama Bronze, Really!) They should have an up front question relative to the Healthshare exemption. Instead, it's the last question on the bunny trail, after they've already tacked on the $5K "no freedom for you" individual mandate fine, which it then removes. It caused me a little Obama Care PTSD. It felt like a third of the Obama Care annual deductible; or, even 2 months of premiums getting sucked out of my pocket. But, after 5 minutes of torture it was over.
Too many error messages that said it unexpectedly closed and I had to reopen it. Doesn't seem very compatible this year with my Mac which might cause me to switch to another software program. Instructions for part-time residents not very complete and the program doesn't compute numbers easily for you.
The state return for MN missed M15 form and I have to calculate by hand or let state to figure out penalty. Also, my state return was rejected twice and the software does not provide enough information on where to fix it. Then, I have to file state return on paper.
