Overall the product is very good but annoying in several areas where it doesn’t complete your return. I don’t have details where this happens but the return review frequently identifies technical issues but leaves you hanging.
After using an competitor's tax program for about ten years, I tried H&R Block to see how it compared. Never looked back. I've been using H&R Block for ten years now and plan to continue.
I've been using the H&R Block software for years now and will continue to use it as it gets the job done and hasn't resulted in an any audit. The one time I didn't purchase the software, I went to a tax professional and ended up getting audited for a sum less than $100.
I have been using this tax program for the past 8 years. It is easy to use representatives are available to assist with any questions you have. Their audit free guarantee gives an added peace of mind. One nice feature is the program carries data forward for the next tax year so you only need to put in your personal information once.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Right now I would give it one star. I am being audited by the IRS and being denied a credit that was directly recommended by the software. I followed the software and it said I had a low probability of audit.
I've used H&R Block Premium Tax Preparation Software for many years, ever since giving up on TurboTax. The user interface is easy to follow and guides you through everything. Or, if you're a tax professional, you can go straight to any form and fill it out directly. The premium version gives me the necessary forms and schedules to handlle my partner's rental and investment income and expenses. I am always pleased when I finish a return and the error check tells me I have nothing that should invoke an IRS audit. It also gives me hints and advice about how to minimize next year's income taxes. I have to use three different state programs because of the locations of my partner's rental properties. I can do the state programs on my own with just the downloadable forms from each state, but the H&R Block state programs make it so much faster and less error-prone.
We use H&R Block tax prep every year, it’s step-by-step simplicity guides and direct you through the process. It remembers my information in the last year which makes it easy to fill out forms and it gives us accurate results.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
