Best Tax Software for the Money
on March 9, 2018
Posted by: SouthBaySoCal
As good or better than any of the tax software for sale. Rated as one or the top tax software programs as long as I can remember. I have tried the other major brands but always come back to H&R Block/Tax Cut.
I have been using Deluxe with State H&R Block/Tax Cut for over ten years. No problems. Software walks you through each step. Once you finish the federal return, the state return process takes the federal data and overlays onto the state when possible then walks you through the rest.
It is up to you to have the W-2s, mortgage interest, interest income, dividends payed and other documents handy when you use the software. Expect to spend several hours if you have a complex 1040 return with itemized deductions. I usually space it out over several days with 1-2 hours at a time. Remember to save after a major step and when you leave the program. Easy to go back and correct an entry if you want to update something.
When done, best to take a break before filing. You have the option of electronic or paper filing. Software will alert you when you electronically filed/accepted and if there is a problem with the filing within 24 hours. You can back-up the file and returns and save as pdf files.
There are a couple of minor quirks but nothing serious and I find easy to work with. i always get a refund better than I expected!

This program makes filing taxes so much easier then doing it by hand. I've been using this program for almost twenty years and wouldn't think of using any other tax software. I never hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast

Great features, user friendly, very convenient
on March 10, 2018

I've been using Block tax software for many years, started back when it was called Taxcut. Tried the other big brand once and sent it back and used Block again that year. Block has more state programs than the other, is easier to use, and the included support from a company that has been in the tax preparation and assistance business since before my dad owned his own business almost 50 years ago is a great comfort. The one thing that I think would be an awesome improvement to an already great product would be the ability to use the software through out the year as estimated taxes come due. As a small business owner, my income cannot be accurately estimated at the beginning of the year. Therefore being able to enter actual income figures each quarter to determine what to pay as estimated tax at that time would be an awesome feature. I'd love to hear from a representative about this suggestion. thanks
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast
Cons: Hard to fix issues

Relatively easy, but 2 big misses
on March 11, 2018
Posted by: jwbrowncpa
The software downloaded and installed easily. Overall, the process was good. But there are two areas that were disappointing.
First, the "interview' process did not include needed information for a 1099-R. However, this was detected during the final review, and I was able to add this directly to the form. I even went back through the interview to see if I missed entering the required info, but did not note it.
More disappointing, I was not able to view the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains worksheet. This is a direct link between taxable income and tax liability, and is important info.
The good news is that I did not detect any tax calculation issues.
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Taxes suck. H&R block makes filing them less annoying...it's still annoying, but this program makes it less annoying to file taxes, providing loads of info along the way, easy to use format, explanations, and everyone's favorite: "the best refund" guarantee.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using H&R Block tax software for YEARS. I can't imagine doing my taxes with any other software. I have had to file state returns, as well, and it couldn't be easier with this software. I'll continue to use H&R Block tax software for years to come.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Fast
