I had trouble downloading report from institutions initially, but it later resolved itself. The server was apparently down or overwhelmed. That was the only trouble I had.
For the first time I was unable to e file our federal return. On Schedule D software would not accept my net short-term (line 5) or long term gain (line12) figures as in previous years. Error messages called both of them calculations to override which in turn prevented e-filing.
Pros: Easy to install, Maximizes refund, Easy to import
H&R Block did not carry miscellaneous income from federal to PA state tax return declaring not taxable by PA. PA revised tax return with an additional $300 in taxes due to this error.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import
I have been using the H&R Block for years. No problem with the software. The problem is that when my state filing was rejected, I was charged three times to refile. I had recently married and the issue was related to the spelling of my wife's maiden name. The first charge was completely legitimate, but then H&R Block charged me two more times. One of the two was reversed so I was double charged to file the state return. I wrote to H&R Block with no response. Will probably use someone else next year.
I've been using this program for over 10 years now. The consistent format each year is great for creating familiarity with each of the sections. The fact that it pulls in my financial information is also good and attempts to walk us through each section logically. I like the help sections and the form sections. I like that you can open up the Whole Form to see how our entries are being recorded. All of this makes this program one I will continue to use.
