This is the second year I have used the small business owners software. As an accountant, it is the best I have used and will continue to do so. I liked the added feature this year of using information to authenticate the tax return refund recipient. besides the small business I can also do tax returns for family members as I can send in five returns to IRS included in the package.
We have been using your tax software for years for both personal and small business returns. Although pulling together our records is always a challenge, once our information is organized using your tax software is easy and straightforward.
I bought H&R again this year because it was a better deal. However, once I got going I wished I had bought TurboTax. Some my investments didn't have auto download with H&R but did with TurboTax. So if you have investments then Block may not be the best out there.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
This makes it so easy...it looks just like what your professional would do for you. If you forget or miss something it will remind you before you file. I have used it for over 10 years!
I have used the deluxe + state H&R Block software for years and have never had a problem. This year we had nothing but problems with it. We ended up buying this version due to some estate tax filings and it all worked like a charm. Very easy to use. The only complaint I had is that it would not allow us to electronically file our state taxes.
Very good software. Couldn't do my S-Corp taxes myself without it. The software is a bit kludgy in places, and I have had to look up topics myself to get clarification because the help isn't always that relevant, but otherwise very good - and invaluable from a business perspective. (By the way, my expectation on in-function tax help was set by H&R Block for personal returns - the help there is amazing!)
