I bought this software in late 2017. It was not difficult to use. However, I think that the format of the 1040 should be more as a spreadsheet, where various dollar amounts could be entered as I would by hand. It is easier to follow the 1040 format. I do think that the SS calculations should be done automatically, as they are now in the Block format. That will save time and be accurate.
I have used HR Block Tax programs for many years and have very good experiences and little to no problems. Usually we filed our return electronically. This year we had serious problems with problems with Inherited IRA Income. In the past we have had no problem with this Inherited IRA income.. When doing the accuracy Review this year the program said that the Inherited IRA needed Data verification. We spend a lot of time making changes to the Inherited IRA entries but the program would not accept our changes and because we could not satisfy the program with our changes to the Inherited IRA it said that we could not file electronically. So we had to submit the tax return by mail.
When the program audits the data and finds no issues, then when I go to submit numerous errors are found, simple ones where my name is missing, SS# missing, all data the program has elsewhere.
I had a difficult time incorporating the PSO $3000.00 reduction of income in the calculation for the Fed Gov Annuity. I believe it was probably my fault as I have included it in prior returns with out problems. I don't know if the instructions have changed or I am getting senile. since it probably not your fault, I am changing my revue.
