I have used H&R Block software for years and have been very happy with it. This year (2017 taxes) I am very disappointed! Even though I entered the School District Tax withheld that was on my W-2, it didn't carry through to the State. Thus, I had a form IT/SD 2010 that said I owed the full tax liability! I can't fix it, the form does not allow that entry to be edited. Very upset!!! I trusted that when the software said that it transferred the information that I entered in my federal form to the state that it ACTUALLY did it...NOT!!!
I feel something in your discussion about Medical and Dental Expenses needs to be stated better - When filling out my State of Oregon Income Tax, something you wrote was imprecise. The screen read "Since you and/or Karen were age 64 or older, you may qualify for the special Oregon medical subtraction... "You can't subtract medical or dental expenses: Point #3 was "That have already been deducted elsewhere on your return." It should have read "That have already been deducted elsewhere on your Federal return." I'm emphasizing you should have said "Federal" return...
