I've been using H&R Block tax software for the past 4 years. It's easy to use. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the mode of depreciation is not brought forward year after year.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import
I imported a 1099-B from my broker and had to manually update 350 “date acquired” and “basis”—what a pain in the neck. It resulted in a decrease of $1,700 in my tax bill; but, there’s got to be a better way!!
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues, Hard to prepare, Hard to import
I was looking for a 2017 downloadable tax program, tried Turbo Tax since I was always using that, it was a terrible program with worse customer service, and gave H&R a try, as I had to get it done. Much to my surprise, it was excellent, asking good questions, and the ending assessment was invaluable. Good-bye Turbo Tax, hello H&R!
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare
Didn't ask for all business expenses. Like Travel, Lodging, etc. Had to find form to enter it into. I've been using this program since the 1990's and it has only gotten worse over time.
