I have used H&R software for several years. I have 12 rental properties as well as regular income and the sale of of a property during some of the years. Although it is time consuming to gather tmy records and enter the information, it is not difficult. It even handled my QCD and my 20% business deduction for the rentals easily. Everything carried over to the State, so that part was easy. I only wish that all the updates were done by early February instead of March.; probably due to IRS not being ready with final forms.
In the interview there wasn't any way to enter Federal estimated taxes paid for the 2019 tax year. The user had to do a general search for estimated taxes in order to enter any Federal taxes they paid during the 2019 tax year.
Super annoyed to get all the way through the process and then not one but TWO hidden fees. I specifically chose this software because it was supposed to be FREE federal and state filing...
Great product that we use every year. I would like the updates to be ready sooner. I prefer to get our taxes done in February and due to updates had to wait until the first week in March to submit.
Ohio State - difficult to input campaign contributions Business - on Trusts: distributions from a "qualified disability trust" are confusing and need a walk through. Distributions from a "simple trust" are straightforward. An easy to use "chat" feature would be nice.
