I have been using H&R Block (Deluxe & State) for years but still seems, at times, difficult to wade through. On the other hand federal taxes are difficult to wade through. My main complaint this year is the inability to print the 1040 without some of the unnecessary schedules. But I don't even like the name, Turbo Tax so I intend to keep using H&R Block.
Very disappointed in your software because I couldn't file my state and federal returns online. I tried several times but was told by the IRS that my return was rejected because I didn't have the correct AGI. I checked the number I had entered for the AGI and IT IS CORRECT but still my taxes were not accepted.
It's perfectly fine! We would have spent days and days on our taxes this year. H&R Block software dealt pretty well with some weird tax scenarios (multiple states, an employer that didn't withhold taxes for 6 months, and other strangeness). It could be a little friendlier in some places, but the explanations were good for the most part.
H&R Block tax software is sophisticated and thorough. The questions are framed intelligently and, in most cases, are not ambiguous. I used to use Turbo-tax - I think H&R Block is just as good
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have been using this product for about four years and each year it seems to get easier to use. I’ve filed taxes through the office before that. Using the software is similar to going in face to face, it’s all an interview process and before you know it, you’re done! Using it year after year on the same laptop I also have the benefit of easily importing information I would otherwise be frustrated looking for. I LOVE this product and have recommended it to friends and family
