The Deluxe + State software makes tax preparation about as easy as it can get. I make entries throughout the year as I receive my documents so that final submittal of my tax returns via Efile takes only a few minutes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I was told by the IRS i needed to pay $1435.00 plus penalties. The program automatically filled the question with 0 amount. This is the second time in 6 years the program cost me penalties.
It’s difficult and expensive to file state returns. I was charged twice last year (bought delux+state but when time to file I needed to buy the state again.) This year I bought deluxe and bought state when filing, all sorts of up selling to negotiate, very annoying.
H and R Block tax software is the best I have used based on performance, ease of use and price. I have used other brands and they are lacking in one or more areas. I have found no glitches in Block software and will continue to use them for my tax needs.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
