I had problems using the e file after April 15 for the extension. It should have been updated automatically. I spent over an hour trying to upload the efile.
Worked great except I had to manually enter the amount required for line 6 of the form 8606. The software never asked for this data. If I hadn't known it was necessary it would have filed an incorrect taxable amount.
I used to be on TurboTax for awhile but then my father started using this and i thought it would be a while new system of doing things and take longer when it was my turn to do my taxes but it was very easy to use and had everything i needed to do. also it looked very nice and had a good flow in the app!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
For the last 30 years I had been using Turbo Tax and have had little to no problem. This year I wet to H&R and had nothing but problems. Even though I fillen out all the questions properly it still kept telling me I did not have to pay any taxes. As I am smarter than that I used H&R support to findout why, I was told that if the software said so then that is what I should do and if I though it was wrong to contact the IRS. As I did not want to be charged with filing a false report I contacted the IRS and they verified that I did have to pay taxes. Know comes the problem of trying to get H&R software to file my taxes correctly. Don't ask me how I did it but I did manage to get them sent in and I do hope the software didn't change it as that will be quite costley. In short, support was no help and she stated she was not a tax expert, 2 the software is noware near a easy to use as Turbo Tax and Turbotax has never tried to lead me down the dark road. No, I would not recommend H&R!
The download features are such a time saver! Importing the previous years return is such a time saver! Easy to use for the most part. Could use more IRS references imbedded to consult when I have questions.
