Have been using your tax prep for years. This time your program stated I owed state money-----but-----when I put in all the calculations myself I owed nothing!!!!!!!!!!
The Federal return interview was good but could have done better explaining 1099-Bs vs 1099-Rs vs 1099-DIVs. The MN state return needed more explanation for the Property Tax Refund for and instructions to pay online and send return separately.
We have used H & R Block Tax Cut for the last six years. It has made filing very simple and certainly saves us time and money in lieu of hiring a tax professional.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
HRB Didn't like my screen settings even with 1920x1080. I have the text size set so I can read it but HRB doesn't seem to be attuned to even slight visual impairment.
Had some errors on input forms that should have been flagged at input but got clear to final filing before it registered a complaint. Then had to dig through multiple sources to find the problems.
I found the instructions to vague. After using turbotax for a long time I expected to be able to find answers to my questions by right clicking on the questionable value field. Instead of taking me to the source I would get a no help answer, such as not available.
