In this market my impression is that most tax software will maximize your return based on your input. With the first year's input, H&R Block becomes very easy to use year to year. I track its calculation in Excel just to ensure I understand the tax computations and its results. There have been times where the tax computations are so complicated I end up verifying results by reverse engineering the Blocks results (AMT, for instance). In the end, you're confident everything is correct and you know why.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I’ve used H & R software for several years and found it to be very user friendly and since I don’t have complicated paper work the software is done easily and very quickly. So if you don’t have a lot of complicated paper work I would highly suggest using this software. I know I’ll be using it again next tax year!
I have used this software for several years and it never fails me I'm confident in using it because of all the features and interview questions. I would not file my taxes any other way.
Truly ready to work through if you have all necessary tax documents. Took about 30 minutes to complete our joint form taxes. I used to be afraid to do our taxes, but H&R Block software takes the stress away.
