I've been a looooong time user of the Block product. By far, this has been the most stressful effort to complete and send the program off. I'm a faithful user and will probably continue to do so but as a senior, it's hard to adjust to the program changes.
Excellent coverage of a most involved process, the IRS tax code. Had a last-minute glitch in printing my return, but found removal of printer from my MAC OS and then having HRBLOCK app select the printer during the print dialogue worked fine, showing the HRBLOCK app was programmed well, better than MAC OS, it seems!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Easy to use and software alerted me to an error that caused my return to be rejected and was delaying my return. After an easy fix,my return was re-submitted and my return was accepted. Affordable, dependable service and best of the best in years of experience!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've been using H & R Block tax software for many years, and I can't think of a more complete, intuitive and easy to use solution for navigating the maze of IRS rules and regulations. In my previous life, I prepared tax returns for individuals and small businesses and it was always a chore to go to the Post Office for forms and type the returns after all the calculations were performed. This latest version of Block software is simply the best!!!
I've been using H&R Block tax software (previously TaxCut) for over 15 years, and it gets better every year. Easy to use and have never had a problem with it.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
The balance of interview question, explanation, and access to underlying forms is the best. It's never failed to produce an accepted return. One thing for six stars. Entering the FUN (Cedar Fair) K1 still requires manual intervention and triggers error messages. I would ask to improve the entry for popular LPs such as ticker: FUN.
I bought this software a few days ago thinking it would be sufficient as I am a retires octogenarian with basic pension income. I wasn't very far into the program when I discovered it was insufficient for what I thought was a simple return. I had a difficult time upgrading since I had already passed on the option to do so. I eventually had to remove and reinstall the product and then select a higher-grade product. From that time forward the program was very easy to use, PLUS I found out I was eligible for a $$$$ refund!!!
