We are still frustrated that there isn't an easy way to compare filing jointly and separately. After doing the joint return, the program has a glitch where it will show you the primary person's individual return but when you try to do the "spouse" it deletes all the spouse data once again and shows the same primary individual data.Also difficulty retrieving previous years.
I am used this tax program for many years as a volunteer as well as for my person and professional use and love the ease of operation and the accuracy of this tax software.
i have used this software for years, generally satisfied. this year my irs return was rejected because one digit of 9 of a payers id was incorrect. because the same payer has been on the return forever i thought the code was copied over from the prior return. don't know why not, given the extent of data that is, or why copied incorrectly if it was.
With the new tax laws in 2019, it was easy to add all deductions and switch back and forth between the new $12000 federal deduction and using my own deductions. For me, I also file in GA and while I ended up paying a bit more in Federal tax, I got back much more for State. Thank you H&R Block!
