Can multiple people use the HR Block software on the same PC? I do taxes for my whole family so I'm trying to figure out if this is a steal or not.

How long does this typically last. Always used Turbotax, but TT not doing Xmas promo on Amazon is making me considering switching.

Honestly not too different between the vendors. However, TT may be a little bit easier for newbies.

How does these work? I do H& R Block online each year. Does this give me a code that shows i dont owe anything ( if I pay egghead $23 for this). Or does it not work that way and this is a stand alone through H&R Block that wont keep my taxes in their data base each year?
You are cheating yourself using the online versions. Alway get the installed versions. Online versions of the same name will not do all the forms that the installed versions do. For instance all installed versions will do 1099 and rental income, The online versions will make you pay extra for that.

You can do an unlimited amount of returns but are limited to five federal efiles. Can still print and mail any after that. So many people ignore that feature when they recommend some online service. To do the same online you will have to create separate accounts for each person and return. Also keep in mind that if you made a mistake or overlooked something you can amend a return you have on your machine for yourself or any family member, all the online services charge extra for that.

For those of us who don't need state, are there better deals to be expected. Also, what the limitation fo Basic? That with 50% off may be cheaper for me.
All versions do the same forms but Basic will have the least guidance. I go with Deluxe and it will offer plenty of guidance for even very complex returns. Never have tried basic and can not really comment on it.

Also do not fall for the upsell as any version will do self employment/1099 business income and also rental income but of you read the marketing,boxes, charts and clickthroughs they will try to guide you to higher versions that are not needed.

This stuff is trash. I used the software for 2 tax years last year. Both were flagged by the irs. The calculations made by the software were wrong on both.The Irs said I owed money instead of my usualy refund. I then used a different software to amend both returns and received a bigger refund the H & r had calculated with the errors. When I mentioned this to a friend he said he had a similar experience. H&r block wanted me to pay what the irs said I owed before they would do anything to see why their product was faulty. I have no doubt had I just paid h&r would have just blown me off. Complete trash.
Can you please tell us exactly what calculation were wrong so we can check our returns. What line or information did you have to amend? LIne item on the return we should check would be great.

I always use 2 different brands, usually both TT and HRB download versions if I can get them cheap enough, or I use a free online version to check the numbers. It's double entry, but I find mistakes sometimes. Usually my own mistakes. I think it is worth it. I got the scary you owe a huge amount letter from the IRS one time and I really didn't, just had to refile.
Since you buy both, have a question for you. Last year TT instituted a requirement to register the installation. Once registered, it locked in the state to just one state. In the past, i was able to install one state on one computer, and installed on a different computer, a different state. That allowed me to do taxes for my family members who lives in 2 different states. Then I filed free federal and paid TT for the state filings. As of last year, that is no longer possible. I had a buy another installation to file the tax returns for the other family members living in the other state. Does HRB allow downloading of a single different state on a separate computer install? I would like to keep a single purchase to allow me to prepare and file.

I have used both TT and HRB for years. It really depends on the complexity and style you prefer. TT is more complete in terms of the forms and complexity of return. HRB has been catching up, though and is almost as complete as TT. For me, HRB still doesnt have the forms I need as of 2 years ago. The caveat is that for people who reach that level of complexity, you may want to have your taxes professionally done. In terms of style, TT acts as a black box. You put in numbers per the questions/guide and TT spits out the filled out forms without any explanation. HRB shows you how the forms are filled out per your answers to questiosn. I prefer HRB's style. Finally, TT is arrogant in terms of how they treat customers. They know they are more complete than HRB, so they treat customers poorly. They promise forms that will be ready by certain dates and then dont meet their deadlines. 2 years ago, there was a required form to file and they did not have it available until 2 days before the filing deadline, despite their promises it would be available much earlier and blamed it on the IRS. HRB provided the same forms much earlier, so it was not an IRS issue. There are weekly/monthly updates to TT and they do not specify what fixes were made, so you are unable to determine if the fix impacted you. Bottom line - if you dont absolutely require TT, go with HRB.

Some people will say go with the free filing provided by IRS and states. The problem is that most do not allow HSA or retirement contributions, so that eliminates a lot of people.
