Sorry I couldn't file NY State after federal. It might be my fault or our lap top commputer problem. Somehow federal went easy trough . Then Me , and my friend spent whoe afternoon Satirday May 12 trying to fix the problem with "state". At least 5 Hours we wasted entering ID , Document, typ , my addresses or other corrections required by H&R program. AND AGAIN after 2 minutes again same requirements . At 19 pm both of us gave up filing state taxes. We will try to print and send old fashioned way. What to do. I AM repeating it my be my mistake or commputer's. So if you want you can help me after May 18 to try again , or if you want you can give me some credit back for "federal part of the program" If you give me the phone I call you after May 18 when I get some free time to try again from another commputer . Thanks
Received a state deficiency notice after using the software for years. After all this time the software should work better for states, especially those that have not changed.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
The software failed to correctly identify that I live in NYC (despite the fact I put in my address) and miscalculated my taxes for the state of NY. I only found this out once receiving a letter from the state of NY with a claim for adjustment. Going back through the software the only way I can accurately fill out the form is to use the override function, which then means I cannot e-file which is a NYS requirement. This is a huge catch-22 and a real failure on HR Blocks part to accurately input data from a Federal form to a State form.
I have had a terrible time trying to change and look at what I've done and whether the information is in there twice or not at all. I've always loved this product but it hasn't worked for me this year.
Pros: Easy to install, Fast
Cons: Hard to fix issues, Hard to prepare, Hard to import
progam do not delete info when you delete an entry

i was checking to see if I was going to get more money if I opened an IRA account, so I put YES when asked if I wanted to open an IRA, and put $1000. since I did not get any more money back, I went there and changed the yes for a NO But did not give me the option to erase the $1000. I thought I was gone. But when I e-filed and got my copy I found out that the $1000 contributions was still there!! NOW I have to do an amended return. BAD!!
