Great But....

This is the 2nd year that I have bought this same program. The ONLY problem I have is that for some reason I am getting rejected because of how my dependents name is spelled. The spelling is correct. Matches his government ID. No real reason why it keeps rejecting forcing me to print and mail in my returns. Complete Jip!
I thought I would save money and do my taxes this year. It wasn't easy to follow along with this software package. Going to try a different one this year.
This is the 10th year using H&R Block Deluxe for doing my Federal and State taxes. It is easy to use, bring in old year numbers, and much assistance is given if needed.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I waited until the 14th to file my taxes. The program downloaded quickly and was easy too use. It has help for every line item on the form, and you can talk to an advisor if you have problems. They will even provide support and help you in case of an IRS audit.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I had problems at the "Charitable Donations" page. It would not "Skip" the interview portion. Then at the "State & Local Income Taxes" page there was no "Next" button at the bottom of the page. (I couldn't finish the tax preparation.) Closing the program then reopening it corrected the problem. In the state program, it wouldn't go to the "Print" page. I had to go to the forms page to print things out. But I finished!
Federal prep and filing was great! Couldn't be easier. It took into account the tax changes and allowed comparison with both joint and individual filings for best refund. However... I e-Filed the Federal electronically and decided to mail state. Later I changed my mind and tried to eFile State to no avail. It kept telling me I needed to eFile Federal first and then took me to Federal eFile again and again. When I selected to do it from the list of tasks (eFile State Separately) the program suddenly quit. Luckily I had saved my work. Seems to be repeatable.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
When using the program, the interviews are to keep you from filling out unnecessary forms. This year, I was filling out information that the program should have known I wasn’t qualified. Example is the moving expense... it’s for military, so when I answered in the interview that I was not military the program shouldn’t allow me to fill out unnecessary information only to end up saying I don’t qualify. Too many loops...I’ve used the program for over 8 years...first time I went into loops.
Hands down--this is my favorite tax software. It is super easy...easy to download, set-up and begin filing. I completed the purchase process, set-up process, and preparation for my federal and state taxes in less than 1 hour.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
