Importing tax data from previous year, automated worksheets & easy e-filing options make the H&R Block tax software a great product. Using it for the last 10 years. Very satisfied.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast
Your system would not file by efile because it stated I had issues with form 5695, stating that I had more than one copy of form 5695, you could not have a form 5695 for each spouse. I went back to the form and found no problems. The system do not explain what the statement meant about the forms. I was totally confused and did not know what to do. So I hit the print button to mail it in myself. Secondly, I owed my state for taxes, but was not explained to why, I never had to pay state taxes, I am a 70% disabled vet. I will not buy this product again.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to fix issues, Hard to prepare
The software for preparing individual tax returns is great, HOWEVER, Block really, really needs to fix the updating process for the Mac. Every update hangs up saying it is updating, but it never does, so we have to call Block and have a complete new program sent to us by email. Why doesn't this get fixed??
