Short Put and Call Options
on April 15, 2026
Posted by: Tom19999
from Miami Florida
Put and Call options sold short that expire have no cost basis. The IRS suggest leaving the "Cost Basis line" blank. My broker (E*Trade at MorganStanley) leaves the line blank when it sends me my tax forms each year. Yet, H&R Block requires that I waste hours reviewing my return and putting a -0- in the blanks.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have been using it for the past 7-8 years. A few elements you should fix (hence the 4* rating).
1. Inclusion of Foreign Tax paid - documented from US Mutual Funds - requires nit-picky follow up to ensure it is fully considered and included in the tax due calculation.
2. Some of your data consistency checking is erroneous e.g., asking for state tax related-info when I'm a Texas resident (Texas doesn't have a local income tax)
3. Lack of visibility to breakdown between capital gains vs. income tax for mutual fund distributions

I have used the H&R Block software for the last 10 years because it is easy to use, gives me enough info to inform my decisions, alerts me to possible problems and provides links to the tax forms if I need them. I know I have saved money by using this program.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

every year I've done my taxes with the same product and every year it has to ask me if I itemized the year before for some calculation. it should be able to figure it out itself ...
Cons: Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my 6th year of using H&R Block Tax program. So I knew what I was getting into as far as Tax preparation goes. The only thing different this year from years past, Is I am now 75 yrs old and cant always remember where I stashed the previous years memory stick containing last years forms. Bravo! all I had to do is click on a box clearly marked on the opening screen, and somewhere is this electronic jungle, the Turbo Tax program within seconds found my forms and filled in required info. Now I felt like I was in control, I had minimized my use of swear words and felt a surge of confidence entering all the current year information. What is there left to say? . . . BRAVO H&R Tax program writers and assemblers.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

Updating through the program did not work I had to download the updates directly.
My NY while was rejected never got a decent explanation from Block as to why just to print and mail
Though mailing the rejected return does make sense to me. Though I must admit I have been using the software for years without a problem like that.
