H&R Block At Home 2009 Premium Federal + State + eFile [Formerly TaxCut],
by M. Saulich, 2010-08-17
It is not the most intuitive product to use however it seems to be very complete and once you get used to it you can get it to do most anything that you need.
Excellent product for the money!
Got me a larger refund check,
by Brent Butler, 2010-06-18
For years I did my taxes completely by hand. I'm very knowledgable about income tax, and can pretty much always prepare them so inclusively that I get the least possible tax for myself or friends that I advise.
However, I finally got tired of each little change causing me to have to manually recalculate and changed my penciled in totals on the forms. This program saves me hours each year.
You still need to know the details about your tax environment. Don't expect this program to lead you by the nose and magically find every deduction and advantageous filing technique.
However, this year I had a nice surprise. I wasn't well informed, evidently, about which taxes of my wife's were eligible for refund as a result of her income level versus her social security income. If I hadn't been using this program, I would have missed fully half of our refund, to the tune of about $2500.
Use this software.
Easy Download, Good Software,
by M. Duff, 2010-04-07
This was my first software download from Amazon, so I had to install their program. Running XP and Firefox latest version (3.6ish), it only took a couple of minutes to get the tax software on my laptop and running. I did have some momentary confusion between Deduction Pro and At Home. Next year Block should consider having At Home autolaunch after the install, or at least prompt for At Home to start.
The software itself is as good as ever. I used Turbo Tax for a couple of years, then switched to TaxCut and have 3-4 years experience with their style. The only drawbacks I see for most filers are grouping some major tax relief options with minor ones, and a lack of clarity in the help files as to where in the software to go to input certain data. In my case, I missed the tuition deduction checkbox, and the help file did not direct me to the right section of the interview to add it in. Links in the help file would eliminate the problem, and would not be difficult to add. OTOH, the addition was copied to both the federal and state forms.
Overall a good product, both the software and the download experience.
1 star is too good for this. Buggy with no tech support.,
by Daniel R. Dawson, 2010-04-06
As others have stated, software is glitchy and buggy. Worst of all, tech support is non existent. Currently, I am stuck not being able to download my State software. H&R Block @ Home tells me I need admin privilege to install it even though I am the only admin on the computer! I have used Tax Cut past three years with this same OS(XP)and never had this problem until now. I tried using the chat support, which is laggy, disconnects randomly, and randomly wipes out what you are typing. Unacceptable! When I finally communicated the problem to the tech, he just Googled for an answer! It took him 10-15 minutes to do that, then copied and pasted a fix for the 64 bit Vista OS. I'm running 32 bit XP! He didn't have a clue. Now, with 9 days until Tax day he says Tier 2 support will contact me in 5-6 days to look at my problem. 5-6 DAYS! Yes, folks, don't buy this buggy software from a company that doesn't know what customer service is.
Don't buy if you are a nonresident alien,
by S. Daniels, 2010-03-29
Don't buy this software if you are a nonresident alien; it does not include the 1040NR form you need to complete. You'll just have to go to irs.gov and do it yourself.
Looks like I threw my money down the drain here.
