Issues with the State program. Federal was fine.

The software found a potential issue with an entry on the state program, but would not let me update the field. I went back into the program to recalculate the field, but could not see an option to update the necessary field. I went to the Whole Form to manually update, but this didn't work either. Due to this, I could not e-file state taxes.
I've been using H&R Block software for many years and I am always satisfied with the results. It is much cheaper than using a tax service and you can use it at your convenience. I will always use this software for my yearly taxes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've used this software for at least five years. This year, I messed up on not including one thing -- and noticed after filing. I therefore had to file an amended return after submitting my e-filed return. The software was fairly easy to use for the amended return, in addition to standard return. It walked me right through the amended return process. I left one star off because they could still do better on K-1s (i.e. stocks that distribute K1s).
If I didn't know about the mortgage interest deduction cap on my own I would have missed this. At no point does the program ask for the mortgage value on your loans and I had to manually adjust the 1099's to provide a workaround so I did not take too large of an interest deduction
I've been using the software for several years and this will be the last year. It's confusing to start. But what's worse is the forms are in such tiny print that I had to use a magnifying glass to figure out what was written. I've never seen software where you couldn't adjust the font size.
I have been using H&R Block Tax Software since 1995 when it was used to be called TaxCut. The application keeps on getting better. I have also introduced it to some of my friends who used to use the competitor and they have come to really like H&R Block Tax Software. I always receive my copy directly in the mail. I will like to recommend sending this software on a USB Stick and not CD.
I have used this edition for several years and will continue to do so even though my returns are much simpler than they used to be. I know there are other products available for less, even free, but your program is more than worth the fee. It creates a step by step approach with explanations if needed, but only if needed. I'm sure I'll use you again.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
