I have been using H&R Block Basic for about 10 years. I have found this product to be consistently easy to use and of high quality. I have never encountered a problem after filing a return which I normally do online. Perhaps others may require their more sophisticated versions but this one fulfills all of my filing requirements.
We have used H&R Block for many years. It is easy to transfer data from the prior year and then add current year data. The e-filing of the return is quick and easy. We had to wait until March 18 for a form to be updated this year. It was there on that date. We completed the return that day and filed it efile that day. Our refund was in the bank a week later.
Easy to download and install. Software updates periodically available. Structured interview is easy to follow. Lots of tax forms available covering most simple situations e-file is easy. Good value for price.
So far no stimulus check from the feds. possibly due to my adjusted gross income (line 11) reading -198! Whether this is due to an error on my part or a glitch in Block's program I don't know. However when I finished my taxes, the program said everything was okay.
The software is pretty good. Only problem I had was importing data from a financial institution. Kept coming up with error codes. After awhile, a new update came out that seemed to resolve the problem.
Downloading last yrs return info was made more difficult from prior years, which required retyping in all standard personal info. Otherwise doing actual return was not complicated.
