Instructions throughout the program are great and explain what to do at each point. My only complaint was that it wouldn't let me enter "04/18/2017" as the input for my first quarterly estimated tax payment even though that is what is in the 2017 Form 1040-ES. Instead I had to input "04/15/2017."
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import
I downloaded it from the disk they sent me and the program is nothing but trouble. Shuts down without warning; you lose whatever you have entered; calculations keep changing so you wonder whether anything is correct when you get to the end. will never use again. I have used in the past and it worked fine, but no longer. Someone has really messed this software up.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues, Hard to prepare, Hard to import
This is a great alternative to Turbotax. I have using it for the past 3 years (including current year). The only pain in entering / importing K1 forms. It is not as intuitive as other forms are
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
I have been using H&R Block Tax software for years. It is a good overall package, especially the Federal package. There are a few short falls: - Not intuitively obvious how to enter some slightly out of the ordinary items like: Contribute to Traditional IRA and immediate convert to Roth IRA, and use a different depreciation method for Real Estate - The State packages seem to have less through review, and therefore sometimes you are asked non-obvious questions.
Pros: Easy to install, Maximizes refund, Easy to import
Used this for many years and during this time it has dealt with every situation that I had, be it investment, deduction, credit, etc. Easy to use, consistent in its user interface and cheap, I can find no downside to it. I don't care about the claim that it maximizes refund, it is up to the preparer to know what to claim, but it DOES suggest during the interview avenues that might be overlooked if you are in a first time situation.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast
The software is good, but the experience is negative because of limiting e-filings for multiple states. I live in KS and work in MO so I have to file returns for both states. I am willing to pay for the e-filing but find it EXTREMELY frustrating that I can't e-file both states with Federal
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast
