I've been using this software since 2002. Each year it improves. The federal program is very accurate. The only drawback is that occasionally there are minor discrepancies in the state program (ie wrong line referenced). I will continue to use this software.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I NEVER DO TAXES WITHOUT H$R BLOCK SOFTWARE. THE FIRST TIME I USED THEM I RECIEVED BACK $21.00 MORE DOLLARS BACK THAN WHAT I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IF I WOULD HAVE FILED WITH THE PAPERS FILLED OUT WITH THE LOCAL COMPETITORS TAX OFFICE AND HAVE BEEN USING H&R BLOCK EVERY SINCE
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
Software is ok to use. This year I opted to send $500 of my refund to an Amazon gift card to receive the 5% bonus. My refund was direct deposited 8 days ago but I haven't seen the email with the gift card yet. There's no way to check it's status.
AMT line kept asking for input-something the program should have done. Schedule E keep insisting on a value for rent received- even though I had indicated the unit was not rented in 2017. Would not let me e-file until I eliminated Schedule E, also something the program should have done. I see no credit posted for rental expenses- perhaps because of non renting but the program should have explained that.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues, Hard to prepare, Hard to import
