It gets you though the taxes. The help is not as good as last year. It just takes you to the IRS website instead of actually answers questions about the form you are working on. I had a questions about state taxes that they were able to answer over the phone. It looked simple but turned out to be complicated. So phone support it good.
I had a total of 4 vehicles during the year and because of this I was unable to e file. I really like the features of this tax program but there is always some limitation that sours the experience.
2015 AGI did not migrate automatically; code should know about me from multiple previous returns; need to give me better guidance on deductions. Consider changing the data entry order to give more immediate gratification --- ask for estimated taxes paid first thing, then ask for income and 1099, then go into deductions. Also, previous version used to tell you what was national averages for each deduction, now it does offer that trivia. It was usefull. Not good advice for tax deductions on repayment of student loans AFTER student dropped out of school. No clear place for legal fees related to divorce. Would be good for advanced advice for self-employed filing schedule "C".
I've used H&R block for the last 10 years, this year is the worse ! i bought the sate return program, and i'm unable to print out thee return to mail it in. I've spent SO much more money this year on this program and i'm VERY unhappy with the results. Next year i plan on using someone else, NOT H&R block. very displeased.
I am a prior H & R Block Tax preparer. I retired this year after 17 years with H&R. I was concerned about doing my own taxes since I have a rental business. I purchased the Premium H&R Block program and was delighted with it. It still took me awhile, but I am now prepared to purchase this program every year from now on!!
