Review by PT Cruiser

After spending countless hours trying to get Turbo Tax, which I’d used for about 10 years, to fill in and calculate my taxes correctly, I gave up and bought H&R Block At Home Deluxe + State 3 years ago instead. I’ve been happy with the software every year since then. The first year I did the online download through Amazon and it went quickly. Installation was straightforward as it is with the actual disc. In fact, the whole process went quickly and it filled in and calculated our taxes. It was able to handle the HSA account info I had for two of the year’s accurately and without a glitch. This was what had caused the problem with Turbo. It also took me through itemized deductions, interest and dividends easily.

The interface isn’t as graphically appealing as Turbo Tax, but it’s easy to use and did my taxes accurately. I was able to download the state version for free and it took less than 5 minutes for it to install, get my info from the federal taxes and fill it out. Both state and federal seemed to go faster with H&R and it was very straightforward. I’ll be using H&R Block from now on. H&R has a feature that can get your info from last year’s Turbo Tax if you decide to switch over.
