If you go to a tax preparer because you think there's just no way to be able to do your own taxes, you need to give this program a try. It "interviews" you just as if you were talking with a tax preparer. I've used it for at least 5 years now and love it!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have been using H&R Block Premium Software for many years and really like all the features. This year was the first time I've ever had a technical issue and a technician fixed the problem while online with me in a short amount of time.
Is it me or is this tax stuff getting even more complicated? After the returns have been filed, I really have no idea whether it’s right or not. The schedule C process is a nightmare. It only lets you see through a peephole when you need an overview of everything in order to sort out what goes where. It asks for some things several times, so I’m not sure whether it’s confused or both of us. I need a tax preparer in a box, but not one that is afraid of every deduction, like Block’s people!
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
Several problems but the main one was not being able to download some investment accounts. PLEASE LET ME KNOW I CAN DOWNLOAD WELLS FARGO ADVISORS IN THE FUTURE. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE IN 2018. ALSO FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INVESTMENTS. I WILL NOT PURCHASE H&R BLOCK AGAIN IF I DON'T KNOW THESE ARE INCLUDED. THANK YOU.
