H&R Block DeductionPro 2004

Average rating: Stars

Not worth the time or the money (and don't download it!)

I downloaded this software directly from H&R Block as part of an offer for the rebate to get the software free as part of purchasing it with Taxcut. So, I downloaded it with Taxcut, figuring, why not? It's free! WRONG! The rebate if only valid for "retail" purchases (i.e. not downloading it - what a ripoff!).

The software is completely useless, the fields are tiny, you can't enter medium to long charity names, and then you have to edit them in Taxcut (twice the work). It is simpler to use Taxcut honestly. I would never ever buy this software again and I would never again get baited into things I don't need by "free" rebates!

Buggy Software that Does Not Save Time

After manually entering many "non-cash" items, I found the total amount for this category was not reflected in the summary page and shown as $0. The data would also not export to Taxcut. When contacted, the technical support "help" was to re-enter everything and if that did not work, to re-install the software. The software did not save me time - it doubled the time it would have taken to just enter the information directly into Taxcut.

Good for the basic stuff, nothing more

I had no install or functional issues with this product, however my complaint is this: for $19.99 this software should know armoire, stereo CD player, etc. Basically it has a database of the most common household and office items, nothing more. In the long run will it help you save more money? Maybe, depends on what you are trying to claim.

I expect more from H&R Block.
