So easy it's scary.

While my tax situation is not as complex as some my filing this year would have been a real pain and a high risk of my making mistakes. H & R Block took the pain away and left no scars. Well done!
I've used this software for several years, airing my complaints each time, but never seeing any improvement in these areas. First of all, I use ONE vehicle for several rental properties, but the software treats each usage as a new vehicle. Secondly, when it imports the previous year's data, the depreciation of assets is never carried over correctly as to the depreciation method used and whether or not mid-quarter convention was used. This is annoying and causes a lot of manual research.
Purchased Premium 2018 Software using February special. Loaded tow state programs without issue. Completed all three in less that seven hours. Well worth the time, effort, and money.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
Sure, it's easy to use. Sure it would take an idiot to get it wrong. And I've used it now for several years. BUT... BUT --- I had to "efile" the Federal Return five times before it was accepted, and DO YOU KNOW WHY? Because the IRS was NOT YET ACCEPTING efiling, and good ol' HR BLOCK didn't see fit to tell that there was a date you had to wait for! I had to hear it on Fox News! So, I AM ANGRY at HRB because I have wasted my efiles and not I still have another return to file. SARCASM: GEE THANKS!
i have used the software to do my taxes for 5 years. no problems. this year its a mess. i can't talk to a live person despite what it says on one. it says i don't have an account, don't have the right phone number and won't answer my questions. it won't work on chat! i completed my federal and it says i need to update my forms from the IRS but won't do it!
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
