I have used this software for almost 10 years. It worked perfectly until this year. Once the IRS added boxes relating to the Qualified Business Income Deduction this software can no longer handle it. This is first year in many that I will have to file on paper. More disappointing, the software has min-worksheets to compute the deduction; they just don't work.
I have been using H R Block Tax software for several years and have never had any difficulty understanding tax preparations and filing for Federal or State tax returns, This software takes the fear out of filing incorrect returns.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have been using the H & R Block tax software since the 1990's. It is easy to use and follow. It walks you through the entire process from personal information, income, deductions, credits, and taxes...right through to submitting your Federal and State returns. I have never had an issue or problem using the H & R Block Deluxe software.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I completed my taxes extra early this year, I have used Block to do my taxes for several years now and it keeps getting easier as I learn the program. My only gripe is that I don't think the State program integrates with the federal as well as it could. It irks me that they charge so much to electronically file the state return. Nonetheless, the program did the federal return really well.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
