Good til transmission

Ease of program use... BUT had difficulty with activation code and my charge card was billed 19.95 three (3) times to accomplish a successful transmission for the state transmission. I will dispute but leaves a bad taste this year... time is valuable.
I have used H&R Block Tax software for several years and find it much better than the competitor. But with the tax code changes, I did have to contact customer service with questions. Would suggest adding explanations about self direct IRAs and the standard deduction bonus for over 65.
It does a good job importing data. Only a few small errors there. Very easy to use. Only problem is the hidden cost of paying taxes using a credit card. They don’t tell you until after you have filed and can’t change the payment method that there is a 2.59% handling fee. This fee is 2.59 % of the amount you owe. That is outrageously expensive. They happily tell you that you can deduct the fee next year! This is absurd.
I just purchased this software a few days before the deadline. I can't believe how quick this process was. The software gave step by step instructions which placed my mind at ease.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
My H&R Block experience was good. Very easy to navigate through the whole process. My only problem was with the IRS. When I tried to e-file my Federal and State returns, my Federal return was rejected by the IRS. They stated that the reason was that I did not enter my correct 2017 AGI. In fact, I did enter the correct 2017, so I retried and of course it was rejected a second time. There fore the State return could not be e-filed either so I had to print both returns and file by mail.
