Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the 2017 income tax software on CD in December, 2017. This enabled me to prepare a better estimate of my tax liability for 2017 before paying the 4th estimate for 2017 in January, 2018.
Does the job; interview process is clear, let's you know what to expect. If you realize later that you did not include something, you can go back to the correct section and fill in the information for that part. It takes the guess work out of how to fill in some of the IRS tax forms, which can be confusing even if you have a good knowledge of income tax issues. The interview asks you simple questions, you answer, then the program fills in the convoluted IRS forms. :)
Pros: Easy to fix issues, Maximizes refund, Easy to import
I had difficulty accessing return when additional information was needed. I had to reload the entire return. I then thought I had completed everything when a month later I received call from IRS that I had not filed. I REALLY had a time then trying to find the return. I had to do it all over again and pay additional fees.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
Circumstances this past year required me to file an extension. H&R Block help me to understand the implications and file on time. When I went back to complete my return, H&R helped navigate through my return and maximize you refund.
Pros: Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
