multi-year user; need to fix code & interaction with IRS over need to file form 2210 and request for waiver of penalty (make notice of paper filling in bold caps to ensure user realizes problem). not being able to e-file increases fraud potential (is this Block or IRS issue? - needs resolved). especially if multiple states are involved. I finally decided to pay penalty, and allow me to fill everything electronically. I deem this to be safer than paper.
I had to go to both state and federal sites for additional forms not included in the tax program Federal form # 8606, and MI state form MI1040H. Because of this I could not file electronically.
Instructions throughout the program are great and explain what to do at each point. My only complaint was that it wouldn't let me enter "04/18/2017" as the input for my first quarterly estimated tax payment even though that is what is in the 2017 Form 1040-ES. Instead I had to input "04/15/2017."
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import
This is a great alternative to Turbotax. I have using it for the past 3 years (including current year). The only pain in entering / importing K1 forms. It is not as intuitive as other forms are
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
I have been using H&R Block Tax software for years. It is a good overall package, especially the Federal package. There are a few short falls: - Not intuitively obvious how to enter some slightly out of the ordinary items like: Contribute to Traditional IRA and immediate convert to Roth IRA, and use a different depreciation method for Real Estate - The State packages seem to have less through review, and therefore sometimes you are asked non-obvious questions.
Pros: Easy to install, Maximizes refund, Easy to import
