I'm quite familiar with the Basic format from H & R Block since I've used it in the past. I would have given a 5 star rating but I'm a bit disappointed that in the beginning of the software, the program asks if I would like to upgrade to either Deluxe or Premium without giving me an opportunity to opt out of say no. The screen wouldn't take me to the "next" level of questions. Since I am familiar with the software, I had to manually "go to" the questions to skip over it since the opportunity wasn't there to say no, at which time I picked up where I needed to be in to continue with the program. It may not be important to you since you are searching for ways to get more $$ out of us customers but it's important to give us an opportunity to decide for ourselves, including opting out or saying "no thank you." Otherwise the software is ok for my basic needs.
Thank you.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've used H&R Block tax programs for many years and have always found it easy to use. Makes an unpleasant task (filing taxes) fairly quick and simple. Always provides the answers and guidance I've needed.
