Block was very slow this year (not until early March) in correcting what seemed to be a simple problem with 1099-DIV. Once fixed completion of tax return was straight forward. Used Block's program for several years and like that basic background info gets pulled forward. Saves not only entry time, but also gives correct data. Happy with their product, but hope they do a better job next year in fixing simple problems.
Software is simple to use and auto fills data from prior year as required. Software provides reference links and detail explanations for entries. I really appreciate the comparison option which illustrates filing options and tax for each option!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Too expensive for second state tax software. Cheaper to buy another complete package but issues with second copy install. Issues with filing state tax electronically for both Maryland and Hawaii. Ended up mailing and still checking to ensure the charges are reversed.
I have used the H&R Block software for several years and found it very user friendly and very comprehensive. When I have questions about an item, the answers are easy to find. I heartily recommend it.
