Easy. Secure. Expert. What more could you want? And two years ago we even used their back up personal tax advisor who spent more than an hour with us calculating some strategic responses. What a service.
For most small businesses, schedule C, and property landlords, this program is fine. It helps to have used this program for several years to become adept at using its features, and understand implications of decisions while using it. Having a business or accounting or tax background helps with any 'home' tax software.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I find using H&R Block tax software makes preparing my taxes easier and faster. I appeciate the ability to electronically submit my Federal taxes at no additional cost.
Thought some things were missing. Can not have joint ownership on numerous documents, such as K-1. Only allows 4 choices on K-1 Box 20. We had 6! Allows for entry of 9-digit zip code but drops the 9th digit on the VA 2019 inc/cg form and the 2019 VA760cg form. Found printing of individual worksheets cumbersome, such as Sch D Tax worksheet (which is actually on the Sch D form and not a worksheet).
Wasn't the easiest experience with the H&R Block Business Software. We added [for refinancing of our house reasons] our house as an asset for our business. It was real hard to maneuver thru the program to get the asset added correctly. Had to reference the IRS site numerous times. H&R Block program did not help with no clear links or detailed explanations or reference points.
This software is very clunky for Trusts and doesn't provide enough help for the cost. It also does not provide e-filing, which should be a requirement for this cost level of Tax Software. The only thing it does right is adding and subtraction...I hope.
