Use Taxcut every year for last few years. Did 2 returns, all federal and state was easy, well refined software, had no problems or challenges. Investment, interest, and schedule C, schedule A was all easy to do. When I had questions, the answers were in the help system. Took 3 days (few hours each day) to do all taxes, but 1.5 of that was local. Not too bad.
Issues that need to be addressed: 1. Deduction pro extremely slow to load up and use. 2. Making deductions, Your Own Value page, Description field does not allow enough room to enter all that was donated 3. After using deduction pro, my amount and date info doesn't show on the Used Clothing and Household Items page.
Cons: Hard to fix issues, Hard to import
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
H&R Block walks you through the process step-by-step, helping the individual understand the tax rules in each situation. Year after year, H&R Block software has been a time-saving and money-saving tool in our household.
You are still missing the 1299-C form for Illinois, which makes me file on PAPER. Every year, for the past 10 years, I always Hope that you will include it. I only need the High Impact Business Zone portion.
I've been using H&R Block Tax software for many years. I've looked at others, and even used a tax professional in 2012. I used H&R Block to correct the 2012 return as the Professional seemed unsure of several areas of my situation. Both my children use H&R Block on my advice and are happy with it. I expect to continue using this software in the future. My history with Tax Prep software: Up to mid 1990s, I used Parsons Technologies Personal Tax Edge and accounting software. It sold to the big I company in 1994 and they basically junked it. I tried their product and chose to use the Parsons accounting software until the single floppy disk would no longer load on to my newer computer. I began using Kissinger TaxCut until acquired by H&R Block. I have used H&R Block since.
State forms for energy (ec) was not included. this caused me to miss a 1000 solar energy credit. form could not be attached to email. This should be an easy ix for you..
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to fix issues
