I used this program for many years. This year there was an irritating glitch when I tired importing my investment data. That was successful, but everytime I tired to close the window, the whole program shut down! I had to import everything manually when I couldn't import it after three times without closing the window causing the HRB program to shut down!
I downloaded the program to my “C” drive and all went well.... then I had a terrible problem trying to open the program. It kept asking me for my username and password and I tried many combinations until it blocked me out. Then it asked me for my email and it said they could not find me which was strange since I filed last year and have used your product annually since 1993. In frustration I closed the program down and low and behold there was the icon for H&R Block 2018 on my desktop. I opened the program and it brought up all the information from last year’s filing and I was off and running with no problems from that point on...yet the installation program insisted that they had no record of me as a customer...very strange. I would rate your product 5 stars but only 1 star for downloading ease.
I'm SO used to the H&R Block tax software that I don't think I could use any other. I have few complaints with it other than a FEW questions require you to know the terminology which I don't always understand. That said, I muddle thru it.
I have a MAJOR heartburn, however, with the PRINT FORMS function. I like to keep a copy of the Form 1040 and Sched A and B (in prior years) but ... when I go to print it, it wants to print EVERYTHING!!! In 2018, something has changed and the forms don't even look the same. I had to print 8 pages just to print the Form 1040. I would like to print one side of it at a time, as well.
PLEASE upgrade your print function. Allow ME to decide what I want to print, or not.
I'm rating you at 5 overall but if this print problem doesn't get fixed, it's going down next year.
