So, So, if on a Government Annuity.

This year, the way the H & R Block program handled my CSA 1099-R annuity, was that I had to manually add it to the list of 1099-R’s under the already imported RMD distribution.
The fact that the program readily handled the SSA-1099 in the questionnaire, you would expect it to do the same for the CSA 1099-R Government Annuity. However, it was only when you go into the edit mode for a blank entry line under your RMD import does the program switch to asked what your entry is for by presenting a bullet selection for the CSA 1099-R. This was the first that I saw the CSA 1099-R Government Annuity in the program.
This exercise and discovery was a cause for much confusion and delay in trying to find how and where to enter my Government Annuity. This was a change from previous years, when it all went seamlessly. Like Turbo-tax, one's government annuity seems to be the least that tax programmer's give much consideration too. Worse, many times they get Government Annuities mix in with IRA distributions, to make it more confusing.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

very good

Good. I would appreciate the ability to add a note in the body of the program instead of having to wait until after you hit "submit." If you made a mistake in the note, it's too late to correct.
Also, include form 8621 for e-file. I have to send amended return by mail each year and use only the first two pages of the form with a couple of entries and no change in the tax amount.

Great. .but could be a little greater.

The NJ state software (health coverage) allows for only 10 dependents although all are carried over from the federal. That leaves those after 10 as showing not having coverage.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

Improvement but more to go
on March 20, 2022

This year short sale of options, etc. was handled properly thereby eliminating the need to manually correct input. One annoying aspect of the software is the inability to approve/verify input as a group. This results in the need to "click" through lists that can consist of hundreds of items.
I would recommend this to a friend!

additional states are expensive
on March 20, 2022

My daughter used my software, but needed to buy an additional state, since she lived and worked in two states last year. She spent almost as much for that 2nd state as I did for the original tax software. She also discovered she couldn't file electronically for one of the states because she had no income or residency in that state last year.

Software update problems
on March 20, 2022
Posted by: Jim3908
from Dayton, OH
Had problems downloading updates without going to software center. And during filing and after putting credit card info in had problem with errors for filing Ohio return with 1099 not having info in block 16 which was blank. I had to search other online sites to see that Ohio needed the distribution amount here before processing. As a result of that plus your program needing another update, which again was difficult, I ended up being double billed for filing the state return online.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
