I've been using H&R Block's Basic software for many years, and it never disappoints me. This software flags the changes to the form that I might otherwise neglect to fill out, things like proof of healthcare coverage, foreign tax interest received and a new question this year about disposal of virtual currency. All documents from last year's return are remembered on this year's return, so I don't accidentally forget to enter any income that needs to be reported. I always feel confident my return is prepared correctlly and accurately when I use this product and I can't recommend it highly enough!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Have used HR Block for years.. this time, I completed my return, then had to wait a week for updates to a worksheet before I could file. Same with my gals return a week later, but closer to 2 weeks for a social security worksheet.
This year it wouldn't let me file electronically because the "Social Security Worksheet" was not updated. Then they kept pushing back the release of that. Hello! It's not a form required to be filed! Moreover, it wouldn't allow form 8911 to be e-filed although it would allow the credit for EV purchase – makes no sense. Especially since I bought this to e-file!
