Crashes so that I can't complete my return By mary78664
I installed this on my Mac (OS X version 10.8.2) and I can't get past the home office deduction. It crashes every time I try to enter information for my home office. The first time it crashed I lost quite a bit of data that I spent hours entering, so since then I have been hitting "Save" after every screen. Still, I can't seem to get past the home office part. I guess I am going to have to call them and ask for a refund unless they can provide an update that will fix this problem so that I can actually complete my return.The Worst Tax Software EVER! Dangerous! By Corinne A. Tampas, Esq.
First. I am a lawyer with an advanced degree in taxation and an MBA. I have done my share of paper tax returns in the past, but have reached the point to where I do not do tax returns. I do, however, know what the tax law is and since I do not want to do paper returns for myself or my mother, I usually purchase tax software. The past three years I purchased H&R Block, before that Turbo Tax.
Second. This software not only missed numerous deductions when I entered them, but it gave a false reason why my 91 year old mother is not a qualifying dependent when indeed she is. (The ironic thing is that in the program's FAQs it explains that she is a qualifying dependent.)
Third. I contacted H&R Block about its software problems, I was told by the customer services representative that I should consult with a "tax professional". When I informed the customer services representative that I was a tax professional, she put me on hold for about a half-hour. Upon her return I was told that H&R Block was aware that there were NUMEROUS errors in its software and that someone would be contacting me within 24 to 48 hours. That was a week ago. I have not been contacted.
The bottom line? ANYONE WHO WOULD USE THIS SOFTWARE IS AN IDIOT.
UPDATE: This product is obviously not ready for prime time, especially if you claim an education tax credit. More than 600,000 refunds have been delayed due to software errors in this program. Not a very good track record.H& R Block technical support is poor, software crashes By Eric A. Bard
I purchase thus program from Amazon and was almost done my taxes when it crashed and closed.
I lost all of my work and started again. This time saving as I went. The program crashed 5 more times in the same spot.
When I called there technical support line, the woman couldn't help me and escalated the support. The problem was that the escalated support would not be able to get back to me for up to 72 hours. I ended up using another product. It's a shame, because I had used H&R software for the last 6-7 years.
