The online software and the downloaded software are not the same nor are they compatible. I started with the online software but gave it up when I couldn't see the forms and assure myself that all of my info was on there correctly before I filed. Things didn't look right to me and I couldn't even review it with your staff because noone could see the forms. They referred me to the downloaded software. Then I couldn't transfer the data to the downloaded version and had to reenter it all manually. I found that the download had a better easier interface for items donated to our local thrift store and was faster and cheaper but that I couldn't use the calculation for estimated tax payments (or print the vouchers for them) because the calculation algorithm doesn't allow for entering non-wage income (which is all I have as a retiree. Your software is quite good, otherwise, but I will probably investigate Turbotax, etc. for next year.
Could not download 1099s from Fidelity. Don't know what they changed, but H&R Block was terrible this year! If I wanted to enter all that data I wouldn't have paid for the software!
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
Very difficult to use, did not help me find all that I could write off, didn’t even remind me about writing off car registration like Tt does. Also waiting for my returns to be accepted, it’s been 6 days and they are still pending, with tt it’s accepted immediately. Will not use again and don’t recommend it
H & R block is great because it takes the figures from last year and automatically puts them in this year. They make it very easy to do your taxes. I highly recommend their package.
