This software can be used IF you already have very good knowledge of your situation in terms of what deductions, credits you might qualify. To me, the only use of this software is that it can be used to help me file electronically. It is otherwise misleading.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
A good product. No problems with federal. Virginia is a struggle in places, particularly in handling what is taxable in VA and what is not. When the federal return is started, it would be nice if you asked "what state will you be filing?" and then customize the federal according to your response.
I have been using this software going back to the days that it was called Kiplinger Tax Software. It has only gotten better each year. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great tax software.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I’ve used it for many years in several different situations-Owning a home, selling a home, owning my own business-and it has been easy to use and understand. Great product!
H$R Block program is easy to use and gets you to the finish quickly. Unlike a competitor, HRB does NOT mislead you about the cost you will pay. For me, it produced a lower tax too!
