Love H&R Block Deluxe 2017

I've used H&R for many years. It's easy to use and very thorough. I haven't been audited yet (knock on wood). I can't imagine ever not using this software.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
On the first 1040 format, the import did not work and when I went through the process, the 1040 program was not correct. I had to start another 1040 form. When I did that the import and program worked well. The State form was very easy to use after the 1040 form was filled out.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
As usual, H&R Block made a task I hate easy. Every year I am grateful to have this program do this job for me efficiently. I finish less stressed--who would have thought!

Overall good, but does not handle making an IRA contribution and then recharacterizing to a Roth IRA. The questionnaire will get you taxed on the contribution which should have a basis if done from a non retirement account. You have to go into the forms and override what the program does.
1. There should be a way to print one page of a form. 2. There should be a place on the state form to enter estimated tax payments. Who would think you have to go back to the federal form and put it in under deductions as if you are itemizing when you're not. It doesn't even go on a Schedule A. 3. There should be a place on the state form to put where you want your Direct Deposit to go. The federal form asks for this info after you start to e-file, but if you are mailing in the state form, you don't get this chance.
