I first bought Turbo Tax but balked when told I had a $74 penalty to the state which I knew met an exception, it didn't give me the opportunity to file the necessary form instead the program added it to the amount due. Then I tried H & R Block tax program, it noted the penalty but allowed me to let the state figure it out.
With the H & R Block program I did have trouble with the VA State deduction for income of dividends from Government Obligations, the program wanted it as a percentage of the total dividends on the 1099, this was difficult because it was a consolidated 1099 of several funds that had dividends from Government Obligations of different percentages, I calculated the $ amount for each fund then had to try to calculate what the percentage was of the total dividends declared in that 1099. By this time I am on the State return and had to keep going back to the Fed return to adjust the percentage so it came out right. A dollar number instead of a percentage would have been so simple.

HR Block, Not There When Needed
It seems that something changed this year which left me with anxiety, frustration and disgusted with not getting the support I was needing. Verification would not clear and kept going back to the social security section where the program would not allow the social security income box to be unchecked and saying it will be taken care off later in the software. Later I was requested to enter amount from block 5 of my ssa 1099 which I do not get. Block 5 of my csa 1099 is the amount that I pay into my health insurance. My account with social security will not allow access to ssa 1099. My social security profile summary is $0 for income. So I put in $0 for the 1099 but the verification would still not clear. The uper right hand help button was unresponsive, requesting help in the program was not able to address the issue and finally calling would only help with installation and running of the software. So with a hail mary I e-filed my return. Will you help with this should this issue trigger an audit. Been with you guys since 1998. I know I am getting old and stupid so maybe it's time for a tax preparer.

The software works fine, but there is no offline help. So you have to be connected to the internet to do your taxes with any sort of help. NOT USEFUL. Years ago this software had offline help that was updated with each update session. Now your stuck in the wind with no help.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn't calculate health insurance deductions.

Why would you sell a product as appropriate for small businesses that cannot calculate the self employed health insurance deduction? I had to find several publications and worksheets and do the calculations myself. Fingers crossed I did it right.
Cons: Time consuming
