Software works well in preparation and state individual tax returns. I use for preparation of three different state returns. Useage prompts make it easy to use
Software used work great. Last couple of years the Business software would not import prior year return info. Had to manually re enter. Personal worked ok. Otherwise worked ok. Hope flaw is addressed in future.
Normally handles my moderately complicated taxes very well. Last year a late tax law change was never reflected in the software, but every other year the software was complete.
Unless you do taxes for a living, very hard to use. Basically, you need to know what form you need and the software just presents it with blanks, doesn't really do much interviewing or guidance.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
The personal module is fine, but the business module does NOT work. It would not save my 2021 file, instead named the file to 2020, then would not open again after I entered all my data. All my 2021 data was deleted from the forms. I kept updating the program but this major bug was never fixed. I will not purchase again.
Very easy to use. The program will guide you step by step and raise questions if your answers are vague. I used H&R Premium for the first time and I had trouble importing data on 1099 Forms ( retirement account money) and I hope the software will remember next year. I recommend it for any one. I was using Turbo Tax before and there are two things I didn't like: 1. it has become pricy, 2. As you progress entering the data, you are asked to upgrade to the next level and Turbo Tax will charge you the full price! It's not fair business practice!
