well, I bought the H&R Block and am extremely unhappy with it. I found a major glitch in the interview that would affect a lot of people that aren’t knowledgeable about taxes. first I had major problems with the install, I assume a bad disk. it wouldn’t boot directly from the disk and kept saying try again. I finally had to use MY COMPUTER and after a few try’s got it to load. the desktop icon is just a green square which could be a glitch and between everything makes me not trust the validity of the disk. the interview is terrible compared to TT and a major flaw I found that in putting in a social security 1099 it doesn’t ask you for the Medicare amounts paid and doesn’t pinpoint it at any part of the interview even when you get to medical insurance for the schedule A. I found the interview overall extremely lacking. the forms view truly sucks and they incorporate worksheets into the form making too much clutter and confusion. going back to TT since intuit is making good on their screw up. Been a TT customer since the mid 90’s. Block is OK, but so was TT ten years ago, Block is way behind in working out the kinksnnREVISIONnnfound two major glitches, already returned it and bought TT. DON’T TRUST ITnnMedicare deduction for medical has to be manually added TT asks for info off of SSA-1099nndidn’t carry over proper state income tax refund info, told me my refund was not taxable. took me two hours of comparing between the two programs to find the mistake
