Used this program for the last 5 years but will not buy again. There were too many bugs in the 2019 program. Just to mention a few, 401k contribution limit outdated and unnecessary questions about itemized deductions from previous year even if imported data shows standard deductions.
Preparing my return went well except for the entry of the K-1 data. Every year I get to Box 13 (Other Deductions) and am told to enter enter data under Code W (other deductions). I am told to follow "special steps". These steps are vague and I always get flagged on your accuracy check, even though I have carefully followed your instructions. I say this every year, and I'm saying it again: This needs some work! Otherwise, the software use went well.
I have used this for a few years now and have found it consistently easy, up to date, and accurate. I have not had any of my taxes questioned and H&R software has been very good about advising me of things I missed. I would recommend these tax packages to anyone.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
They ask questions that you can answer and then they put the information in the right place on the form. Frankly, I enjoy doing our taxes using this software.
I have been using this software for many years, and never had a problem with my return. It covers all the details of filing, and makes sure you do it the right way to stay out of trouble. (Priceless)
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Terrible design for married joint/separate return comparison. Many of the inputs for the main person is put into the spouses section. I could not get a good tax comparison!!!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Love that the past years info will merge with the current year. Software seemed to have some glitches this year. I did the update and lost one of my current tax returns I was getting ready to submit.
