Tax time can be a stressful time but by using an H&R Block purchased disk to complete your taxes, you simply follow their cues and input the information and they do the hard part. Nothing is a snap at tax time but they make it much easier all the way around!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
It was okay, but a bit confusing in spots. The sections where you need to add on things like w-2s doesn't make it clear that you should add on another so at times you keep going and have to come back later. I hate those parts.
Why the duplicate effort to pay federal taxes. The information for payment inserted was used to pay my state taxes, but i had to go to another H&R website to pay my federal taxes. It never used to be this way. Go back to the original way. I kept looking for the federal payment to hit my checking after the state took the payment out. It never did - if I hadn't went back to the Taxcut program and looked again I would've been late with my tax payment. NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Using for a minimum of 10 years, always satisfied with quality of product but had a special situation this tax year involving two state packages, the one package could not handle the information correctly because the second state package could not handle non-resident filing which was not fully disclosed before I purchased the program.
The Business software was full of bugs, couldn't enter / edit data for certain fields. This was NOT TAX related, but could not file return on paper or electronically becuase of errors in FORMs and with program. 20+ hours with technical support and convoluted, workarounds. NEVER AGAIN.
When importing the previous year's data, it would be tremendously helpful if you could alphabetize the lists for interest income, dividend income, and charitable contributions. This would make it much easier to find the correct line for the new data entry. An already great product would be even better !
