TurboTax doesn't understand Virginia Income Taxes
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: DSP_Lady
from Fredericksburg, VA
H&R Block allowed me to correctly file my Virginia Tax return while getting the maximum deductions allowed by the state. Turbo Tax was absolutely no help when filing my state taxes, and I had to go out and purchase H&R Block. Turbo Tax can be used to file a Federal Schedule H only if you already know how to file a Schedule H and what should go in all the blanks. H&R Block correctly walks you through and allows you to accurately file and pay your nanny taxes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Good Program, but support is limited

I have been using HRBlock Deluxe for 5 years. Handles all my needs - retirement income, electric car and solar panels. Could use better, more practical explanations. Got stuck in a Data Verification loop without a way to mark the fields as verified.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

I received my H & R Block product in the mail which is my reminder to get taxes done. This software is easy to use and makes filing less aggravating. I'll never go back to the 'other' tax software again.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

Great for at home with help if needed
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: EchoG
from FL
I get this every year and works great, I get to hunt for papers and info while at home!!! Bad part H&R has no idea about 100% disabled veterans not having to pay property taxes - so when you get to the end and it says there is an error "no property taxes paid and you had a mortgage" so it takes you there and you put in a zero and over and over it comes back says the same thing so you just do the X at the block, it goes away and you file - first time you have a heavy heart second time you call and tell someone but nothing happens for the past 15 years ever. Is there anything else missing????
Pros: Easy to prepare

Pretty good. As good or better than TurboTax
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: MSPE1960
from CT
H&R block deluxe is ok. Better than TurboTax, but not nearly as user friendly as it should be. And their claim that you can get help, is more or less untrue. I found it nearly impossible to find that resource. In all fairness, my taxes are more complicated than most. The kicker this year was that I was not getting a refund for the first time - I owed money. I did not get a good explanation of how to pay the bill. There was a 1040V form which I had to find myself. The software did not tell me to use that form. And then, they did not provide an address to mail the check to. I had to look it up on the web. Unacceptable.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works Well for Federal - Has a Problem with PA
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: Shadowchb
from Pennsylvania
In general the program works well for Federal returns and I generally would have no problem recommending it for those returns. Where I have a problem, and this is the 2nd year I have reported it, is in the handling of K-1 forms from the Federal return to the state return. The program automatically copies K-1 interest and dividends from the Federal return to Schedule B of the PA return with the notation "from K-1". That would be all right if the program didn't have a problem with the section of the PA program that calls for K-1 information to be entered. PA seems to think all trusts will send PA K-1 forms too, which out of state trusts do not do. So if you try to enter K-1 information in the section of the PA program that asks for it, HRBLOCK 'forgets' that it already transferred the interest and dividends to Schedule B and proceeds to DUPLICATE the amounts transferred already, directly entering it AGAIN from the PA K-1 information, so that you end up paying double taxation on these amounts. The program should NOT transfer K-1 interest and dividends from the Federal return and should then enter those when the PA K-1 information is entered. Then you would only have ONE entry of the interests and dividends for K-1 forms.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents
