I have six years experience working for H&R Block Offices in the last thiry years. Three when they first computerized and three before this year. I found this years software to be easier than Blockworks, the company software. I was able to follow what I was doing quickly and find errors. I recommend this software over the HR Block Online because you can check your work as you go along the interview.
I have used H&R Block for over 10 years. This year it was one thing after another going wrong. HORRIBLE experience--wouldn't load, crashed my new computer multiple times, State forms wouldn't load, and so on. Don't know what happened but will not use H&R Block again. There are lots of other products out there.
We got all of my wife's stuff in, saw we were running out of time, so we went to file for extension, e-filing. Product went ahead and sent in completed Tax Return, what there was of it. Now we are technically LATE! Will have to mail in a request for extension one day late, and deal with the IRS going ballistic over what is obviously a half baked return.
I filed a on-time extension, which was rejected because I had mis-typed one of our social security numbers. I have time before midnight to corrected. I corrected the number, clicked the "save" at the top of the screen, then used the "Take-me-to" I time to go back and file the extension. I ended up electronically filing a day late, because it didn't realize that the changes don't save unto you down to the end of the page and click "next". When this happens, the program should display a message "your changes were not saved".
I bought this software again this year like I do every year it is worth every penny. One problem this year it would not accept my activation code an it caused me to file late this year. I did get a new code but it was after the dead line so you know that cost.
You can file your llc returns, then do your personal returns with your rentals. I love that. When you download stock trades 1098B you have to review each one which is very time consuming. Overall it's a great product for the money.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
This product was very user friendly and excelerated my dreaded experience. Saved me alot of time and searching and was thinking faster than I could. I was very pleased.
