Better Than Turbo Tax
on March 5, 2018
Posted by: King2fish2
I bought Turbo Tax as usual this year. I got tired of fighting it and decided I was going to buy H&R Block even if I had to spend the extra money. My refund was enough to make it worth it. This program is far more flexible and easier to use.
Pros: Easy to fix issues
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than expected!

Since 2001, I had been a loyal user of another tax software program (TaxAct), but their prices have skyrocketed, and I felt betrayed, and looked for alternatives. I was very impressed with the fact that you have a Federal Only option, as I don't need a state return where I live, and hate paying for access I don't require.
Overall, I found your program quite comparable and easy to navigate compared to the one I was accustomed to. The import of information from last year's PDF worked well, and nothing much surprised me along the way.
I felt that the user interface, while reasonably clean, was a bit dull, but effective nonetheless. One feature I really missed from my old program was the ability to have a scratchpad on virtually any entry box. For example, if I was needing to total up some contributions I had made, I could open a scratchpad, and put the dates, titles, and amounts, and upon closing, it would put the sum total in the box... extremely handy and sorely absent here. The most lacking feature was with charitable donations... there were plenty of item valuations available, and the option to add your own was there, but the user interface was absolutely terrible... like one, long list with every item notched into a table. This needs improvement.
I was about to give the program 5 stars, until it came to filing my return. On the screen where you have to input the prior year's AGI, it pre-filled a ridiculous value (over $1M), saying that it transferred this in since "you filed with us last year." I didn't file with them last year, and I don't know where that number came from. We initially freaked out because the field didn't seem editable, but there was a link to the right explaining how to override the pre-populated value.
Add some more features (like the scratchpad), and tighten up some of the user interface aspects, and it'll be 5-stars next year for sure!
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to fix issues
I would recommend this to a friend!
