Unable to e-file Fed return. The rejection message and code were not helpful in figuring out why the IRS rejected my return. Further, the general message "Check the forms one by one to find errors, correct them and try to e-file again" is too general since the Form or section that is causing the issue/s is not mentioned. I tried about 5 times and now will mail the Fed return.
I have always used H/R block. Easy to use. IF you have questions, you can go to a store by scheduling an appointment without charge. You can also use their phone system or internet, but difficult to get to a person. Long wait. Transferred to the wrong department for help.
Nice software easy to navigate. Not easy to update information once you have completed a return and you realize an entry needs to be updated. As in past years once the review is complete I am advised to correct an error that an entry is blank even though the data is there.
Everything works well except that your program does not address foreign pensions; how to enter them in 1040. This may be a rare occurrence but it is quite often between Canada and the US.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Everything was going fine till I hit the IRA section. As I was the primary and my husband was secondary it wasn’t an issue till then. It asked who’s IRA info it was and I selected my husbands but when I checked the work sheets the info pulled was mine. The info came from the primary name on the personal info section. I had to delete that info and make him the primary and me secondary in order to correct it which then threw all the other sections off. The whole return was a redo.
