There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I get 1099's from a few places though, such as Amazon here from the Vine program, or Best Buy from their Tech Insider Network, which many programs do NOT allow to be filed as hobby income. They force you to create schedule Cs and report it as business income, which totally messes up any hope of refunds.
This is the second year in a row now H&R Block's software had, right there, the "This is hobby income" option that most of the others do NOT. Since this is NOT a business, just things I have to deal with for the review programs I'm in, there's no reason to file any other way.
I like how it pulls data from previous years if you have used the same software, or how it can pull data from PDF's or even photos you take of things like your W2's. There's so little actual number entry needed.
The only issue I had was that while it did great importing my W2 via capturing it on my iPhone after I opened a special link it sent me, and it got all the federal data right, it did NOT capture the STATE TAXES that were withheld. So initially the program was insisting I owed over 3 grand for my state taxes... I had to manually go and find that info to enter it manually.
Had it not done that, I would've given this 5 stars. I got it on sale, the state filing fee was minimal, so it was about as cheap as any other option out there, since Tax Slayer keeps hiking their prices.
I just finished filing today since I finally got my last 1099, and within 10 minutes of electronically filing I was already notified that both the federal and state were accepted.
It really doesn't get much easier than this...
It imports carryovers from prior years flawlessly, allows flexible access, is pretty rock-solid all around.
Could use a bit of user interface refreshment that seems to have gone by the wayside as functionalities have evolved, and internal documentation/definition/links to IRS pages could be a zillion times better; but all in all, this tool is a solid and simple hammer to use for sometimes not-so-simple situations.
We do a Schedule C, but only buy Deluxe, 'cause that's just fine for what we need. We e-Filed this year, as it's supposed to be the patriotic thing to do or something with current backlogs easier to address, and after two calls to the support folks realized it's a FIVE digit secret code, and FOUR won't cut it, e-File won my vote for easiest filings ever.
It really only deserves a 4 star, due to its clunky coverage of topics I personally want to understand better; but it gets a 5 in comparison to the competition, which I'd give a 3-minus to. FYI
I'm a do-it-yourselfer on most things - I have no qualms buying and recommending H&R Blocks tax software. I don't know about their claims overall, but I do know my taxes are solid, everything's covered properly, I feel confident, and they don't push me to buy more stuff.
When I was younger my wife and I had rather complicated returns involving situations that included not only our normal personal information but included self-employment information as well....this program handled it perfectly every year.
The program that I always buy is the "deluxe" which includes free state software as well and since you need it anyway, I feel that it is the best bargain. Starting early in December, I begin to daily check the prices of the download version on Amazon and invariably I end up buying it at about half the price that it is originally listed for when it first comes out. I usually purchase it for somewhere in the mid-twenties every December. Don't let the fear of the IRS scare you out of doing your own taxes....this program is a breeze.
