Had problem with electronic filing. Wife and I filed as MFS in past years. This year filing as MFJ. However, program would not let us electronically sign as there was only space for the primary person's AGI. Program needs to be changed to facilitate electronic signatures for both tax payers when they filed MFS in the previous year.
I have used H & R Block tax software for several years. It fills in last years return information which helps. I found it easier to follow than the other software I used before.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Overall the software worked well, but my e-file with the IRS was rejected for a typo on a payee tax I.D. I typed a 5 instead of a 4 as part of the number. This seems like the kind of thing that should be caught by the HR Block error check. I was able to refile successfully after making the correction.
User friendly. Five free federal e-files. I began using this program when it was called “Tax Cut”. I wish the State would get on board with FREE e-filing.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
The features were all straightforward, but the questions on the banking info. for making estimated tax payments were not clear. I like the automatic features, like carrying over the data from the previous year!
