Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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.
Rating:  - 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.
Rating: - This software is awful
Warning: After successfully saving my file, I continued to input over 100 line items in this program (a very time consuming task). When finished, I tried to save but received an error message. Then when I tried to open my file, the message said it wasn't a valid file format. My file was corrupted and cannot be retrieved, and the technical support had no idea how it happened or whether it could happen again. They suggested that I back-up the file, but since this all happened in one sitting, I didn't ... Read More
Rating:  - Good for large deductions
After getting it configured with all the specs it needs (charity names, etc), easy to use and acurate. I took a sample list of what it has into my local Goodwill store and prices were pretty accurate for clothing and more so for furniture.
I would say one could do the same by walking through a charity shop to place the value on donated goods but if one does not have a local shop or the time then pick this up.
One draw back I found is that when you set it up, you have to ... Read More
