Recommend H & R Block Tax software. Been using it for Sub S business for about 10 years now and personal return for 4 years. No problems. Software is easy to follow/navigate.
Too many problems trying to get the software to just run EVERY YEAR, new problems, new issues. Hours of online help from their help desk and then another day a call from elevated issues help desk who normally solve it. Why can't it work?
Premium works fine. Business package would not load, "cefsharp.core.runtime.dll or one of its dependencies not found" error. Shuts down without loading. Had to print forms from IRS and fill by hand.
Simple and easy to use. Helps keep me compliant while also making sure I turn over every stone for my max refund. I've been using for over 8 years and have no plans of changing
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Support is POOR. I accidentally marked a box to request an extension (that I did not want or need) when I asked for assistance, I was told it could not be undone. I had a box marked excess accumulations. although there were no entries in the section, this, also could not be removed and I had to submit the form with the mark. Overall, the program does the job but the support is far less than it was in years past. When I ask for technical support (since tax support is no longer offered) they are not sensitive to tax issues.
It feels like it was made for CPAs and people with previous accounting experience because there are few hints and instructions for each requested data - it doesn't give assurance that we are filling it out correctly.
I ended up having to buy another software to fill in the 1065 and generate Schedule K1 for my LLC partnership.
