I used to do my taxes every year by hand. It meant reading thru the 1040 instruction booklet each year. This is so simple. The software asks you the necessary questions and fills out the forms for you. The software pulls in your information from the prior year and pre-populates what it can. I find it very easy to use. I have been using this software for about 10 years. Very satisfied.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
H&R Block Tax Preparation software has many sophisticated processes and certainly provides the best approach to paying the minimum tax for one's situation.
There are things lacking in the program. For instance, if you choose standard deduction, at the end it brings it up as a review problem. The program makes a suggestion then questions itself.
This is the easiest program to follow. It is the complete package of all you need to file your taxes. It prompts you along the way so you don’t miss anything or make any mistakes.
I have been using this software for many years now and it is always easy and accurate. This year I used the e-file for my Federal Taxes and it went so smoothly I was impressed. My refund was in my bank account just one week from transmitting the e-file! Safe and secure - I will be a BLOCK customer for life!
