I used the H&R software to deal with my house sale. I found it easy to use with adequate instructions. I read up on the IRS house sale publications and found the software to perform in accord with IRS regulations.
For the FEDERAL taxes this is great. Five stars for the interview format. The STATE program is nothing more than a form filler. The user must figure out any state specific matters on their own. 1 Star for the state program.
Each year, I have more and more problems with H&R block software on my IMAC. This will be my last. This year, a few of the problems were (1) I couldn't download any statements from my Charles Schwab account (2) I couldn't E file until the final Block update had installed. Problem there was, when I would hit update, it would crash the whole program (3) it wouldn't save my work in progress, so after twice of starting over, I did it in one sitting. Wether it was my IMAC having problems, or just user error, It was still a hassle. I've had minor issues throughout the years, but this was just too much. Thought I'd give the competitor I try just to see if I've been missing anything.
