With the new tax laws in 2019, it was easy to add all deductions and switch back and forth between the new $12000 federal deduction and using my own deductions. For me, I also file in GA and while I ended up paying a bit more in Federal tax, I got back much more for State. Thank you H&R Block!
I HAVE USED H & R BLOCK SOFTWARE EVRY YEAR SINCE 2000 AND IT IS THE GREATEST. IT ASKED ALL THE QUESTIONS NECESSARY TO GET MY INCOME TAXES FILED WITH OUT A HITCH. I USED TUBROTAX BEFORE 2000.
Been using this product 3-4 years now, very user friendly and easy to follow, would have given it 5 stars this year, but had issue w/ authentication code that I needed to file it for free. Was not able to access customer support for help on trying to fix issue. Triple checked right code was entered and it was, but kept giving error message when I submitted for electronic file. First time His happened though.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
H&R Block advised that the State return must be filed electronically, but when I went to do so, it said because I opted for annualiozed return calculations, electronic wasn't possible, and I would have to submit paper forms, which H&R Block would print. However, when I clicked the "print for filing" button, it failed to print all the forms that the State required -- and I had to manually navigate to find the forms and manually print them.
For more that I decade I was a Turbotax user until the infamous year where Intuit tried to gouge its previous customers by forcing them to upgrade if they wanted to import 1099s - a feature that had been part of the regular package for years. It was then I switched to H&R Block software, and I have never looked back. The Block software does everything I need, it will download 1099s from the web if your institution offers that service. It puts the numbers in the right boxes, checks the calculations, determines your odds of an audit, and files the return at the press of a button. Best of all, the software was written by an organization that has been training tax preparers and filing returns for about as long as I've been alive. You can have full confidence in them.
