I live in FL with no state tax so I just need the easiest Fed software. I've always done my own taxes and have used various software, and this is the best program I've used and tax prep is now a breeze. This year my wife looked over my shoulder through the entire process so I can no longer keep her thinking that it's a big deal.
Federal is very good but "state of Illinois" cost is 700% higher and in Illinois it is full of pregaming errors and has been for years thought some have been fixed after over 50 phone calls. The latest error, I wont know until next year but the" free" state of Illiions is much more economical even though it takes more time to fill out
BOTTOM LINE --FEDERAL IS VERY GOOD BUT STATE OF ILLINOIS IS OVER PRICED AND HAS PROGRAMING ERRORS.
H&R Block Basic is great. I did my Federal taxes in about 25 minutes. I used the Standard deduction for me and my wife with no problems. The software can load your information from the previous year and this saves a lot of time. It also contains help. H&R Basic is the best tax software I have used.
I have used H&R Block for years and found it to be easy to use, comprehensive, and accurate. I appreciate how it makes filing my tax so much simpler. You can bet I will use it next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Program could not be easier to use, very user friendly, moves you along from segment to segment. Have used this program for years and it gets better each year. Highly recommend.
