- zeebaterBetter than TurboTaxI have been using TurboTax for over 10 years, and when I had several of my past filings reviewed by a tax preparer last year, he found $7,000 in deductions for me over the 3 years. Why? Turbotax looks really slick, but it was pushing some credits into deductions categories. Not good. Intuit advertises well, and looks so professional, and H&R block is a discount tax service, so between the two I am so surprised to compare the two, and put H&R Block on top. It is cheaper too, to boot. Totally a no brainer for those who think they can do as well as a CPA, at home, once a year.
- Robert GrossmanSoftware error on 2008 First Time Home Buyers CreditI've used this software for a decade, and it is sometimes frustrating to understand some technical items, but generally it works. This year, I discovered a software error related to the 2008 first time home buyers credit. Upon the sale of your house, if it took a loss, and you are therefore forgiven the outstanding credit, you need to file a form for both spouses separately. It only generates one form, regardless of what you choose in the interview questions. You also cannot e-file if you manual add the other form. This year, that is especially problematic since the IRS isn't processing physical returns at all, let alone the normal delay and inconvenience.
I contacted technical support when my e-file was initially rejected and they couldn't figure out the underlying reason. They supposedly escalated it to a tier 2 agent. i got no reply, nor contact back. I researched it myself online for a few hours and finally figured out the issue. I contacted technical support back, and was told they couldn't help. So basically, the message i got was, "We don't care about the quality of our product, and too bad so sad that you wasted your money on it and the $30 x 2 for state e-filing fees."
I decided to buy their competitor's product, which correctly handled the home buyers credit and properly filed my return. Unfortunately, I had to start over on filling in the information for my taxes, which wasted another 5-6 hours of my time. I will never buy H&R Block tax software again, not just because of the error, but because of their tech support's total incompetence and lack of interest in actually fixing a problem with their software. - Ernest S.Very smooth flowing, simple to use with no marketing along the way.I had used Taxact for approximately 10 years but their product kept going up in price and was always difficult to keep logged in to with consistent marketing for financial products along the way. There were absolutely no glitches using H & R Block with multiple 1099R's and a schedule C for a miscellaneous 1099. At no time was I interrupted with marketing ideas while performing the task at hand. H & R Block even kept me updated with the filing and approval by Federal and State.
- Jeff NGood program with room for improvement.I purchased this package because it included support for preparing a 1041 estate return at a reasonable price. It includes two separate programs; Premium and Business.
The Premium program is very user friendly and makes filling a standard return easy. Each entry screen/form provides help and explanations for what is entered on that screen.
The Business program is not as interactive; there's little or no help available for each entry screen. For this program, the user must rely on documentation from the IRS for guidance.
For both programs, it was difficult to connect to the Internet through the firewall for software updates. Federal 1040 e-filing was easy and included in the purchase price. Unfortunately, though one state program is included, state e-filing is not free; so I just e-filed for free on my state's website.
For the 1041 estate return and related 1099s, I printed and filed by mail. By the way, if you need to file 1099s, you'll need to order special mail-in forms directly from the IRS; unless you have a particular account registration with the IRS. - C. GilboyGreat for combined personal and small corporate business returnsFar less expensive than the TurboTax alternate. I installed the 2019 business tax return today and it was able to find the 2018 return. I have found the 2015/2016/2017 ATX files but cannot find the 2018 or 2019 files. I have searched all through the computer. I plan to move business computers this winter and want to be able to move my tax info. Cannot find any info online. Is it in the cloud? Is it buried in the program files? I searched the complete Window Users subdirectory and then the complete drive C,
