Filing was easy. Then I needed to amend (from std ded to list of my deductions). That was easy, too until I tried to print. "1. Create a copy of the return you already filed. (This new version is what you'll file as your amended return) 2. Then make changes to your amended return" This is ambiguous and contradictory and makes no sense !! And I couldn't make it work. It printed identical lists in the B and C columns and nothing in the A. I used a pound of paper trying every way. I would welcome a comment.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
I have been using HR Block tax software for 8 years now and I have found it easy to use and to be a very good value. This year, however, when i was doing my daughter's return which involved foreign earned income and foreign taxes paid, it would not allow me to e-file the return because there was an entry in column n of Form 1116. Perhaps, this is something due to the IRS. I only wish that this issue can be resolved.
fonts are a too small. you asked for a Texas employer tax ID#. no one puts that on a Texas w-2. this caused errors I couldn't resolve. on a 1099-int I earned 0.11 -- your form would not accept it rounding to zero
I have used this software for several years. I have made mistakes in entering info, so the program identified what I needed to change or add to complete my return. At the final check, my return was cleared to be filed.
I had entered my bank routing and account numbers on Form 1040. When I went to E-File, the program asked for bank routing number on two screens. Five times I entered the correct number on both screens, using both the 10-key pad or top row numbers. Entries were all rejected as not comparable. The routing and account numbers were erased from the 1040. I gave up and requested a check. Wife and I are on Medicare and Medicare Advantage insurance plans. Each time I looked up source of "Medicare Part B" entry, I was taken to "Self Employed Insurance." Surely, with 40 million people on Medicare there is a place to enter that info.
