Clunky and dishonest pricing (making state efile an add on after purchase), but cheaper than TurboTax.

HR Block Helps Again This Year

from Houston, TX
For over twenty years, HR Block's tax software has walked me through the process of reporting my employment, investment, rental property, and retirement income. While each year's income categories and deductions are similar to the previous year, their tax software makes me aware of new features in the tax law which have frequently lowered my taxes. It's a good product, well worth the price.
The software guides the user through creating the tax return and filing it about as easily as it is possible to do. The tax laws are extremely complex and the software appears to interpret them correctly. When I had a problem I was helped quickly and efficiently by customer service. There were two things I couldn't do with the software. I couldn't download 1099 forms directly into the program, and apparently there is no provision for estimating state estimated tax payments for the following year.
Have been a long time user of PC version. Very disappointed. Some data did not transfer to proper fields. Not reliable, will not use again and definitely would not recommend.
The H&R Block tax software is thorough and complete. It is a great choice for simple and complex tax returns. Even if you have never tackled depreciation before, the H&R Block tax software is a breeze.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have used Block for ten years. Its interview is well written, easy to follow, and helpfully contains suggested answers. Its links to assistance with IRS instructions and software assistance are free and easy. Its understanding of the tax code and regulations is obvious. It makes creating itemized lists or accountings simple. Its cost is low. If it would only handle all of Form K-1 -- I hate reading that this or that is beyond the scope of the app -- it would be perfect.
