I have been using H&R Block Deluxe software for years. I was a little disappointed this year due to the instructions for determining penalty for underpayment of taxes. It seemed to be confusing and frustrating to complete. Also, there was no way of assisting in costs related to natural Federal disasters which affected me greatly.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Was very disappointed with the Michigan state program because it did not include a form needed to subtract income from U.S. government bonds and other U.S. obligations and file electronically. Having to get and fill out state form then print out and mail the entire return defeats the whole purpose of buying the state program.

Took much to long to navigae. If my return was simple I would give tne H & R software a five star rating but with a complicated return would not recommend it. Expaining inpute figures were not clear enough.I am noy sure if TurboTax would be better.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have the same problem this year as I did last, I supposedly had errors but I couldn’t clear them. I did as asked but your program ignored me. This was on the state filing. I found no way to around it. Luckily, I don’t have to file state taxes as my income is too low. Regardless, I paid for state for nothing twice. The only thing I can figure out is I filed the federal before the state and it wouldn’t see my change. The federal program is wonderful. Of course, there were no errors. I bought Turbo Tax first because of this problem. What a disaster that was for several reasons. I’ll never go to them again.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice, but paying for a electronic extension seems weird because filing is free and is a huge amount of pages compared to one to ask for an extension
Pros: Easy to prepare

I’ve used this software for 20+ years but won’t be using it again. The state program fails to include 414H contributions as income. The program totally omits this reporting. Because of this faulty omission I am being charged penalties and interest on my returns. And I have to amend prior year returns. There’s no excuse for this!
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to use and I love the real time view after data is put in the program. My only concern is the time it takes to update. Sometimes quick some times real long.
