The application is easy to use. The big helpful and really great feature is importing last years return, the just update the regular data and just add the new items.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
State filing is not included, the instructions and steps for filing after moving interstate are terrible, and they charge an astronomical amount of you dare need a second state.
I've been using H&R Block software 4 so many years I can't count. It's always been reliable, easily understood and effective in every way. When I had a small business the software was always as good or better than my accountant.
This software is very thorough and easy to use. H&R deluxe ask you questions and walk you through all of your financial questions necessary to complete your taxes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have been using this software for many years, but it finally failed me! Minutes after I transmitted my return to the IRS, they quickly rejected it, with some kind of error message that my adjusted gross income for last year was screwed up? I have no idea how this happened, and the associated report doesn't give me much help. In all fairness, it could be a problem at the IRS office, but I suspect the HR block software is at fault. All I know is that I bought the software, followed all the instructions like I usually do, the software said it was a clean return, and the IRS rejected it. Big disappointment.
