Used H&R Block last year. Really liked using it this year. Easy to use. Instructions and guidance are excellent. Have absolutely no suggestions relative to any improvement needed. Great job.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Program wouldn't save values at some point and would have to reenter and try to be sure if I went to those pages that I re-entered the correct answers.. Really bad this year. I have used this software for many years. Seriously thinking of switching to something else. The Business side of the app is garbage. Hard to use, had lots of issues!!
I have been using H&R Block software for filing my taxes for over 2 decades and I have been very happy. I used Turbo Tax once because co-workers were talking about how much they liked it. In my experience, it pales in comparison to H&R Block. I never used Turbo Tax again and I learned that they had only used Turbo Tax so they didn't know any better. Several have switched since then.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
can not enter some business expenses in schedule c properly lacked explanation of some accuracy review results hard to get through Microsoft firewall wasted money on efile program found that i can not e-file at the end of the program during the fix your e-file issues the error shown was not an error what a joke bad programming on this one
Easy to prepare and submit to IRS and CA. Problem was after I filed my tax return. When it offered to save, I thought it would change the return already filed, so I said no. Then when I went back to view the status the return was gone. I think I should have been warned that I would have no copy of the return I filed if I did not save after filing.
The Mac app crashes every time on W2 import. Every. Time. Tried 6 times. Eventually just entered the info manually and didn't attempt an import again on any forms (W2s, 1099s, etc.). This was an issue last year with the Mac app. Likely done with H&R Block.
I had to really work to find the payment voucher forms after I efiled and the fed 1040-V form didn't have the address of where to send the payment, I had to get that from the IRS. It wasn't like this last year.
