After using H&R Block software fore over ten years, I find the program easier to use each year. To their credit, little inconveniences/annoyances seem to be eliminated each year. Now I would be hard pressed to identify any!
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
Things seemed to go well for the most part. But I encountered a glitch in their program and had to spend considerable time researching and experimenting with a solution. Because my wife and I don't received SS payments, we are on Medicare and pay our premiums direct. Eventually I found the only way to get our premiums entered to flow to the respective worksheets/forms was to enter the premiums and nothing else in the SS Income Worksheet.
For some items that don't typically apply to me, I could have used some more "What is this" links. I was a little uncertain when & how my Health Savings Account was entered and used. The importing functions worked Great.
Easy lead-through, and does a good job of importing prior-year data. The weakness is the print capabilities. Unlike most applications, cannot select pages to be printed. Plus, does not always print what's on the screen (e.g., cash charitable contributions).
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
Second return (for daughter) program added an income for previous year's return. She did not have income previous year and did not file a return that year. IRS rejected the E-file. Corrected by over-riding and re-submitted. All ok now.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
I am an accountant, and I prefer H&R Block over Turbo Tax and other programs because I can see the tax forms, I know where the numbers are going to. I have run into challenges but understand the program enough to know I'm doing the right thing.
Cons: Hard to import
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Maximizes refund
