Good overall. Have used it for years. Stock trade reporting for certain options transactions is still disappointing for a "Premium" software. Could benefit from more attention to detail on processing the transaction downloads from stock brokers.
I don't think H&R software is as user friendly as TurboTax. Many of the descriptions, especially on more complex forms looked like they were right out of the tax code instead of translated to laymen's terms. There were WAY TOO MANY pages with a single yes/no questions - why not put several questions on one page?
I’ve been using HR tax preparation products for over 20 years. I’ve always been pleased. A few years back I did try a competitor, but wasn’t satisfied. I’m part of HR tax preparation program for life.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I purchase this version of software every year, and this year when going through the accuracy review, I kept getting asked for information that was not applicable. There was no where to tell the system I did not itemize last year, and the software REQUIRED a number related to itemizations. This completely fouled up my e-file attempts and I eventually printed and mailed my returns.
