This Software Makes Tax Preparation Stress Free!

I have been using H&R Block tax preparation software since 2011. Since the very first use, I have never considered using any other software to do my taxes. As I have never used any other programs to prepare my taxes, I cannot compare it to other software packages. Because it has served so very well, I have never even looked into other options.
Each year I purchase the software on CD, install it in a matter of seconds, and in a matter of a few more seconds, I have imported all of the information from the previous year's return. As anyone who is self employed and does their own taxes knows, most of the work each year involves organizing and categorizing receipts and documents, and adding up totals. That's the part I often drag my heels on, as it is tedious but necessary work. Using the software, however, is anything but tedious.
I am always so happy when I get all of my documents and receipts in order, as I know from 8 years of using this program that doing the actual taxes will mostly be a breeze. H&R Block software does all the computations, plugs everything into the forms, and asks me all the pertinent questions to enable me to complete my return. And it automatically updates the software after installation, and auto-saves regularly during the process of completing the return. I have only had to call a tax specialist once or twice in 8 years of using this software, as it is very clear and understandable (as much as any software can be, given the complexity of tax laws).
Other things I really like about this software are the Maximum Refund Guarantee, and the guarantee to stand behind the customer if there is ever an audit. And I have always felt confident about submitting my returns, because there is an accuracy review feature at the end that tells you if your return has any issues. It has a red, yellow and green "meter", with green being a review stating that the return looks great and should be free of any concerns about accuracy or complying with each set of new laws. I always feel better submitting my return knowing that it is in the "green zone" of being free of issues or concerns.
Perhaps other software packages do all of the things I have mentioned here. As I stated, I don't actually know, because I haven't looked back since 2011 because this software is truly easy to use, very well designed, easy to navigate through during the completion process (one can immediately go to any portion of the return, forward or backward, to double check items and edit anything as needed, or add anything that may have been forgotten or entered into the wrong area), and it has in fact gotten me the maximum refunds on my returns. The price I pay for the software each year really ends up being nothing, because I could never get the refunds I get by trying to figure out the complicated labyrinth that is tax preparation by myself, as I used to do before starting to use this software. I recommend it highly.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use. And its very best feature is that if you buy the program you have access to an H&R tax expert online if you need help with tough tax questions.

I like most things about this program except:
When there are errors the window to fix them is confusing,
It should be easier to navigate back to pages if you want to change something.

Poor software updates
on March 2, 2020
Posted by: Bowhunter01
from Pennsylvania
I had to wait nearly a month for them to update the software so I could e-file my taxes, completely unacceptable. I could understand if I did my taxes in January that this could happen but not in February. I will use a different software to prepare my taxes next year.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great For Doing Taxes

I have been using this program for years and it is easy to navigate your way through. I love that the data from last year transfers over and I feel like I haven't missed anything. Competitively priced. Definitely got value for money spent. I got a new computer last year and needed customer service help retrieving previous years returns and they took the time and walked me through it so that I could retrieve my records. Very satisfied.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!
