This Product Still Meets My Needs

I started using this product when it was called TaxCut. I had been using TaxCut for several years before the name was changed to H&R Block at Home. After the name was changed to H&R Block at Home, I still continued to use it. I think that it gets better each year. It is simple to use, easy to follow, it works well, and it meets my needs. Now, I usually purchase the H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State version. I would recommend it to others.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I understand why H&R Block devotes most of their attention to providing a good federal package, and I've liked using it for many years. But the state package, at least for Wisconsin, seems superficial and does not match the federal standard. Wisconsin is very cool towards tax-free investments, with only a few exclusions carrying over from federal. The H&R Block Wisconsin package does not leave you with any confidence about how this confusing topic is handled. Also, this is the first year that I've paid extra for electronic filing at the state level. The process seemed unnecessarily awkward, though it apparently worked out OK. Downloading H&R Block's own PDF package was slow, and seemingly unnecessary, since I've got Adobe Acrobat already. Then, there was ambiguity about whether my federal information would automatically be appended to the Wisconsin return. Guess it was.
As of late March, there is still no version available to actually file my return. There are errors in the review part of the program that give nonsense feedback. The stock sale form doesn't check for reasonableness on purchase/sale dates. Several sections provide no question/answer input; just bring up the form. For some unknown reason, there are forms presented which aren't needed and can't be bypassed. I have used this program for years and have never seen such a pathetic version.
