It is not a bad program, particularly given the price. But the instructions for the Foreign Tax reporting portion (Form 116?) needs a lot of work, and the list of errors at the end simply do not work - I am told to go to a form I do not recognize and make an entry which I do not understand. I view this as a failure in the interview process. It would be good if HR Block would capture all error reports and see if they can use that to improve the interview process.
I have been a yearly customer for more than 10 years and I find your software for completing for 1040 to be very easy to use. In contrast, inputting the correct information on the 1041 is relatively difficult. Then when the form is complete I cannot file the 1041 electronically. After two years of filing the 1041 with H & R software I have decided to switch to another tax software company for future years.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Last year I had no problem efiling a return with multiple forms 8938 reporting foreign financial assets. This year it would not efile. This caused me a lot of work and time. Apparently Turbo tax customers had no problem filing returns with multiple 8938 forms. HR BLock needs to lkook into this and fix the issue
This years program was very different than previous years. The Pennsylvania program in the business portion was completely not user friendly. Most forms had to be completed on your own instead of pulling information from the federal which would have been okay but you could not bring up the form required.
Could not e-file. The system was down and I had to send the printed return,
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There were minor issues in the past, but this year I could not file due to system problems n had to wait for over 12 hours before they fixed the issue. I printed my returns n was ready to mail them when they finally fixed the issue.
