Like HR Tax Software and have used for several years but the 2018 State of Michigan software has a significant bug I found. If you had Taxable Wages but paid "$0" in State Income tax the software did not generate a Schedule W 2018 Michigan Withholding Tax Form to file with the return. This would cause the return to be immediately rejected. I found this when helping my recently employed son do his 2018 return. He would have never figured it out because is not familiar with filing State of Michigan taxes which always requires a Schedule W if you had taxable income to report. I found when entered "$1" in State Tax paid it worked fine. Schedule W is required when you have Taxable Wages and shouldn't depend on if you paid State tax or not. Please test your software in many cases to make sure it actually works.
I brought this over a month ago and I'm so glad I did. The software was very user friendly, provided tabs to answer most commonly asked questions and filed my return electronically. Couldn't ask for much more. Keep up the great work.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I e- filed my federal taxes ok.it would not process my state taxes to be e-filed had to print and send as per hr block in my tax program.i feel this is something I paid for and was cheated.i will not use hr block no more.
I use H&R Block Deluxe software every year. The ease of filling out the screens are awesome. The one downside is the help text and search information - they aren't detailed enough to be useful. I had a Form 5498 IRA and I had to look at a Turbotax website to get information on it.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have used H&R Block Deluxe to prepare my Federal and State returns for several years. The fact that I continue to use the product year after year should be testament to my opinion about its usefulness. Unfortunately the tax code is not an easy thing to navigate but this software helps me work through a painful process and it gets the job done.
I like your software because it is easy to use. You start off each section identifying what documents will be required to complete the segment. Then you explain what information the segment is looking for and answer pertinent questions the user may have while completing the segment.
I received the package in the mail and subscribed online. I have been using H&R Block for 8 or 10 years and generally like it because quite frankly the Tax code is a nightmare for the average person to understand. This year, for the first time, I had to refile both the Federal and State because they were rejected. It turned out not to be my fault and both the Federal and State went through OK on the second submission. H&R was very helpful for the resubmission. One issue: Saving as PDF is confusing.
