I've used Tax Cut for many years. It's easy to install and use and the help screens are very good. The Tax Deduction subprogram puts this over the top as I can easily calculate reasonable amounts for the goods I donate to charities.
I had been using Turbo Tax for 15 years and tried H&R Block for the first time. Wow! I was amazed at the ease of the software, easy to understand. It took me less time to get my taxes done! Plus the software is cheaper that Turbo Tax.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
I bought this software in late 2017. It was not difficult to use. However, I think that the format of the 1040 should be more as a spreadsheet, where various dollar amounts could be entered as I would by hand. It is easier to follow the 1040 format. I do think that the SS calculations should be done automatically, as they are now in the Block format. That will save time and be accurate.
I have used HR Block Tax programs for many years and have very good experiences and little to no problems. Usually we filed our return electronically. This year we had serious problems with problems with Inherited IRA Income. In the past we have had no problem with this Inherited IRA income.. When doing the accuracy Review this year the program said that the Inherited IRA needed Data verification. We spend a lot of time making changes to the Inherited IRA entries but the program would not accept our changes and because we could not satisfy the program with our changes to the Inherited IRA it said that we could not file electronically. So we had to submit the tax return by mail.
