Not happy with Payment prompts; poor instructions.

This software is normally very simple and easy to use. However, I am very disappointed with the lack of prompting to pay what I owed. I knew I had to pay, but the manner of which the software said "how" I could pay through the software left me wondering what to do next. I had to dig to find where and how; not HRBlock's normal presentation. Not pleased with everything else looking nice and working smoothly just to end the process with poor payment instructions and links.
I trade Stocks & Futures as my business. H&R Block does recognize 1256 contracts but does not have the functionality to claim more than $3,000 in carry-over losses to offset current year gains. This is a major problem for someone who has opted for the "Trader in Securities" status. This missing feature causes me to have to pay for an accountant who understands this IRS work classification. H&R Block needs to include the ability to elect to draw from carryover losses.beyond $3,000.
It is easy to use. The software has many features that you can use although I only used a few. I didn’t have to read thru a lot of technical stuff. The software walked me through the process and I file my taxes on time without hassle.
Thanks!
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
