Summary: DeductionPro 2009 Does Not Work 2010-03-15
Comment: H&R Block Premium includes DeductionPro, which installed without any error messages, but would not work. I had an online help session with H&R Block, they told me to unistall, reboot, reinstall, which I did. This did not resolve the problem. In a second online session I was told that I had a bad CD, and that I should return the package, buy a new one, unistall, reboot, and reinstall, which I did. Same problem. I gave up on it and purchased TurboTax (which includes ItsDeductable, the equivalent of DeductionPro). My OS is Windows 7, but H&R Block assured me DeductionPro is fully compatible.

Summary: Easy as 1,2,3! 2010-03-12
Comment: I really loved this tax program and found it very easy to do. I itemized and have somewhat complicated taxes to file and found it a breeze. It was actually fun to do. Would reccommend this toi everyone. Take a little time and do your taxes yourself at your own leisure. You will be surprised how easy it really is.

Summary: ....Even this Caveman can do it! 2010-03-07
Comment: Having been a loyal(?) TurboTax user since 1997 I found the blogs full of disdain about TurboTax 2009 (State returns limited to one, shammy marketing tactics, up-selling tactics, price, moved R&D to Bangalore, India, shabby support, etc), so I decided to try H&R Block At Home Premium(formerly TaxCut).
I ordered the download version on Amazon and had no problem with the download or install on my Windows XP machine.
(I did follow the advice from one reviewer to download the Amazon game loader first and download a free game to make sure it works....no problems and great advice...Thanks!)
I have now completed 3 Federal and State returns using H&R Block At Home (2 very simple children's returns and my more complex self employed with depreciable assets and somewhat complex investments). I have found this program as easy to use as (if not easier than) TurboTax, and it does not have the annoying up-sell marketing stuff that comes in TurboTax. I was able to import previous year tax files from TurboTax with no problem and it appears that everything carried over properly. My only complaint is the very limited financial institution downloads ( I doubt that I am the only customer using Chase Bank, TD Ameritrade, Vanguard, Fidelity, American Funds;)
I have already completed one Fed e-file and got an e-mail reply within 12 hours that the IRS accepted the return.
Just remember where to find your Key Code as you will need it when using the 5 included free Fed e-files. State e-files are available for an additional fee.
Overall, I highly recommend H&R Block At Home. I would give it 5 stars if they improve the financial institution download support.

Summary: Best version yet - very easy to use 2010-03-06
Comment: I used the old version of this software (H&R Block Tax Cut) for about eight years now, and this year's version was probably the easiest one to use. If you have all your W2s, home mortgage information, bank interest information, and other records ready to go it'll probably take you less than an hour to get your taxes done. They also offer a lot of information regarding changes to tax laws as well as comparisons to other people's returns who made about the same amount of money as you. They actually try to teach you something about adjustments and tax rules, but you can skip it if you don't really care about those things and just want to get your taxes done. The software is very good at asking you questions to make sure you claim all your deductions which means a bigger refund.

I read other people's complaints that the software is too hard to download and install. I had no problem with it. I think it really depends on your ability and confidence in installing software. Yes, the key code to get your five free federal e-files is found somewhere in your Amazon order history - is it really that hard to find??

Check H&R Block's website to see which version you need. The more expensive ones do have benefits to them, like the ability to make one call to one of their accounts/ tax professionals for free. Check the site and buy the one that's best for you.

Summary: Very Limited Ability to Import Data from Financial Institutions 2010-02-28
Comment: I was OK with this program and the reviews up until I needed to import data from my financial institutions. There is no capability to do this from such major institutions as Fidelity Investments or Chase Bank and countless others. That's a huge disadvantage for anyone who has a decent number of stock, mutual fund or other taxable financial transactions over the course of a year. TurboTax is a much better software package if that is what you need.
