I like this over TurboTax because it is very easy to navigate between pages, see summaries of what you've entered so far, find what you're looking for, and for getting instructions.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast
I haven't used online filing software since the early days of TurboTax. With this I was pleasantly surprised. I found H&R Block's Deluxe 2017 package easy to use, navigate, and follow. As I stated in the title: Simple but thorough.
My federal return went very good to excellent. But I could not get my UT state return to file electronically. I had originally input the 1099R Box 13 Payers ID number incorrectly. I changed it and the program appeared to accept the corrected number, but the error did not disappear. Either I could not find the correct place to revise the number, or the program would not accept the change, or something else (??). I just filed a paper copy. Not a big deal, I just thought you should know.
I had made a mistake and not checked the right program option box when entering my 1098T information. This software alerted me to the error and that I might be eligible for a tax credit under another program option that I qualified for, resulting in an additional $249.00 tax credit. Very happy with H&R Block's Tax software.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
