Everything worked pretty well. There was one software issue. The box that indicates that we combined 1031 properties filled itself in a few times when we 'saved' and this prevented an e filing. After I unchecked the box for the 3rd (or 4th) time, this problem went away. Also some of the wording in the instructions was a bit ambiguous (but a lot of this is the fault of the IRS which has definitions that are not completely intuitive).
I encountered a problem in your software with form 8829. Moving data manually from line 8A to line 16 was required because of a flag your software created. It seems to me this should have been automatic. But cudos to your phone staff who helped me after 90 minutes of waiting on the line and then being placed in a que wondering if I went back to the beginning of the line. also, I uploaded my file to your website without assurance it will be confidential/destroyed.

I thought the differences between the Federal and MA State depreciation, and Section 179 should have been programmed into you product instead of making me plug in an adjustment. You just didn't want to spend any effort on this.....disappointing.
Unable to fix accuracy varificaton. I followed instructions and the program would not change the accuracy. Also the program continued to fight me when I tried to save standard deduction vs itemized.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
The filing through H&R Block is easy. Once you collect all your information for income, taxes and various deductions, filing process is just routine. One thing I would like to point out: ID Theft Protection Expense is now deductible. I did not know how to take this deduction in H&R Block.
