Simple to use with step by step help from the program. I have been using H&R now for at least seven years and find it just a perfect solution to my federal tax return. I use the basic becasue that is all I need. simple income and tax with all standard deductions. loe that it can find andload allmy information from the previous years return. Iwish my pay program was compatable but it is not so I have to enter all indormation manually. But it is still cool becasue of the step by step program/ I rateittops in my book.
