I paid an additional 20 for an upgrade and it didn't work. They must know this happens because they try to sell some type of insurance for it in case it doesn't download. Very shady.
This software is very comprehensive for all kinds of tax situations. It's important to note, however, that basic understanding of tax law is necessary for those using any tax software that is available. I have been using it for years and personally prefer the H&R Block software over Turbotax.
A little more complex than TurboTax but so much less money. I've been using this tax software for years since before TurboTax downgraded their software and made their investment input manual (Deluxe Edition). Never had an issue with either the Fed or the State questioning H&R Block tax returns. One free Federal electronic return. I dislike them using my data, even anonymously, so I modify it before allow the software internet access. At half the price for H&R Block, TurboTax has lost my business forever. I would have given them a 5 star rating if the software was a little easier to use.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Very little access to relevant info from within the app. Much screen space is wasted, leaving font very small and non-adjustable. On the other hand, Federal e-file is very well handled.
Everything was fine until I submitted. It asked for my AGI. Since it was filled in by you, I mistakenly assumed it was correct. It wasn't. I had to look it up on my last years forms
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
I've used H&R block for over 5 years with no problem. I used a different software once and got audited. I had to pay $500 extra tax then I expected. Never used it again.
