I could not find the proper EStimated Tax payment voucher form in the program I could print out one - that "Not for Filing" - however I had to cut the pages for each Quarterly payment voucher -- This was not the situation in my previous 10 years of using the program!!!
Since I do not have enough itemized deductions I use the standard deduction and I could probably use your basic software that I have used in previous years. However it is nice to have all the information you provide in the deluxe version.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
I've used HR Block for years now, but this is the last year. I prefer NOT to use cloud services for my personal information and therefore downloaded the app. Support requires having an online account (which I do NOT want) and then is less than useful. In previous versions of HR block tax SW I was able to see my effective tax rate and how I compared to the rest of the country. After trying to get an answer for 45 minutes, first by calling then being told I had to get information online...the answer was...oh, "that isn't available, you can get tax rate information on the IRS website". No *(&^ Charlie....
After saying that everything was error free and ready to go, some glitch would not allow the filing of the Ohio state return. Very frustrating and no one to contact for prompt help. I will have to mail in the state return.
I've used Block software successfully in past years. This time I had several problems. I uploaded from a DVD. When I tried to import data from last year, I got nothing, so I had to enter everything from scratch. When I got to filing electronically, a message said my 2015 AGI was already loaded. In fact the box had a zero in it and it wouldn't allow me to enter the correct amount. I finally found an instruction that allowed me to "right click" and override.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues, Hard to import
takes federal retire income once completed on your program and loads it the hawaii tax form as a hawaiian income/ we as residents do not pay taxes on RETIREMENT INCOME/ you need to figure out why this happens its a big problem and caused me grief on 2015 taxes , soI cant trust your system and have to to hawaii taxes by hand
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Fast
I've been an HR Block user for years. This year was the first time I had a problem. When it came time to e-file, HRB entered the wrong AGI from last year for the Federal return. Once it was rejected, I had a hard time entering the correct AGI. HRB should instruct us to get the AGI off the printout from the previous year, rather than accept what the program inputs.
