Excellent concept but there are other business software apps that are better (more user friendly), but a little more expensive. If the platform was more similar to the personal prep (1040) software, it would be a better product. Plus it would be a plus if the software was more compatible with windows: on Windows updates, Windows gives warnings that the H&R software is "potentially dangerous" and sometimes saved work becomes inaccessible. I don't know exactly why this occurs, but I've seen on on several computers.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
Partnership questions based on receiving a K 1 from another partnership are vague. It would be better if the questions asked were tied directly to the numbers reported on the K1 received from another partnership and where to enter them.
The personal tax software is quite good. However, the Small Business software is AWFUL !!! It seems difficult to navigate, the cues are not at all intuitive, and I could not not get several key forms that needed. This is not a new issue. The Small Business software has been awful for too many years, and does not seem to be improving.
I have used H and R block software to do my taxes for years. I've never had any issues and always had accurate returns submitted, accepted, and processed by the IRS and my state's department of revenue.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
