I really liked the program, easy to follow but saving the pdf file to be read without program really sucked. I already had Adobe Acrobat for pdf files but I had to down load yours. That shouldn't of happened. One other problem it wouldn't down load my 1099 misc from LPL FINANCIAL \ I tried to type in the info but it wouldn't except it.. These 2 problems I didn't have with Turbo Tax. Fix it for next tax season and I'll give H&R another try.
Unable to update without going to the update center for a manual download. MS fire wall dropped - no other security on system. This was time consuming and very annoying.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
H&R Block software works and is easy to use if you do not have any complexity to your return. Add a K-1 and it becomes too difficult. You have to do all the research yourself because the interview does not handle them. Some partnerships that issue K-1s, issue it in a format for uploading into the tax software, but not H&R Block software.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
It works great especially when you used it the year before. It pulls up the needed information from the year before and you make any needed changes, fill in the new information and H&R does the rest.
I have been using the H&R Block tax programs for more than 5 years. I have relatively simple returns. I've found that the Block programs make my data entry easy and do the job of creating and filing very well.
