I’ve been using H&R Tax Software for the last three years. Before that I used Turbo Tax. I actually like both and have no issues with either. I’m able to get through all my entries easily, and file my taxes with ease. My situation is simple though, with main work income, interest from savings accounts, and a few dividends and stock sales. I don’t deduct much since I don’t own a home.
H&R Block Tax Software does a great job of going through every section step-by-step. The program does a great job of providing additional information for any section or question they ask. The calculations have been accurate for me all three years. I usually file in March, and I also run through other online programs to verify that they calculate the same refund or amount owed.
The program installed easily without any problems on my AMD triple-core PC with 8 GB of RAM. It should install on most computers easily, as long as yours isn’t completely outdated. It imported my data from the previous year. And when it was time to file, it did it without any problems. I love this software. I also loved the Turbo Tax software when I was using it years ago. But since H&R Block software has been cheaper, I just pickup this one.
As for the costs, the federal program is included and e-file is also free. The state program is included, but the e-file is what you have to pay for if you do that, and that’s usually around twenty. But you can always print out the forms and send it by mail.
