This is my 4th year with H&R software after 5+ years with "Turkey Tax". H&R has been easier to use and less expensive. E-Files for this first time this year and it is sooo easy!
I got a copy sample of this program as a tip for a job well done at a tax office. I think that was around 1995. I've used nothing but this tax program ever since. My children now use it as well. It's simple to navigate and I've never had an issue with a return.
I have used HR block for many many years. NEVER again! From the state not downloading properly to not updating properly which caused me to have the fee for the state filing fee charged twice for the same return to be filed. I used the Mac version. I have vowed to never use it again. I will never get the hours and hours back of my wasted time. HR Block will never get my money again.
I bought this when it became available and I have been able to work on my taxes over time. Because of the straight forward format, I was able to go back and forth as forms became available. Very satisfying.
You need to add a question regarding defined benefit pensions. The Alabama State program downloads pensions from the federal as taxable on the state. You have to know Alabama law to go to the tax form and show this as a deduction. It is not taxable in Alabama. This failure has caused me to overpay the state of Alabama taxes on $6,200 income for 17 years. I now have to file amended returns. A simple question on the input form would prevent this problem. Otherwise program seems OK.
