Missed the mark when handling QBI
on May 2, 2020
Posted by: Escape15
from Houston, TX
When I tried to compute my Qualified Business Income (deduction), H&RB software tells me that I'll have to handle it myself, obtain Form 8995 and fill it out. In 2018, the QBI was handled correctly (I believe). I had self employment income and a K-1 in both 2018 and 2019 but in 2019 H&RB would not compute the QBI leaving me to do it. On top of that, when I went to e-file, I was told that I couldn't e-file because there was a form that was manually filled out! A colleague of mine ran into the same problem. He ended up purchasing Turbo Tax to compute his QBI.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your software should send tax return communications to both spouses when a joint tax return is filed. Both spouses should be made aware of all updates and the filing status.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

I've been using H&R Block tax software to do my taxes for approximately 40 years and have always received the best results. It's actually like sitting in front of a tax accountant, answer their questions and the software telling you what is the best way to file different aspects of your return. If you don't understand something being asked, you click on the "i" icon to find out further explanation of what's being asked.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great unless you have to go into the weeds.

Works great unless you have to go into the weeds. Everything was good but then I got an error and had to manually figure out and enter several items on one form. Nothing more fun than reading IRS instructions to figure out what should be entered into a form... Also, it might not be Block's fault but why the heck do i have to pay to file a state return electronically - doesn't electronic filing save the state time and money as opposed to scanning in my paper return?
