That saved me from answering a lot of unnecessary questions. When entering my 1099-MISC information, H&R Block quickly allowed me to indicate that it was not a business and instead a one-time event.When entering charitable donations of physical goods, H&R Block did not provide any assistance as to valuing the object.

I suspect that the problem is the same as I had with TurboTax – that the file is not ready for electronic import yet even though it is available in physical form.

Here is a partial sampling of eligible financial institutions: You just start typing the name and it tries to autocomplete if available: H&R Block does not appear to publish a list of all their 1099 import partners, but I would say it is a little smaller than TurboTax and much more than the 6 partners that TaxACT supports. My data point: the same W-2 that TurboTax imported, H&R Block did successfully as well (TaxAct could not). You can pull up W-2 data using your employer’s tax ID number (EIN).

You just tick off the ones you need, instead of repeatedly reading a new screen for each little thing and clicking Yes, No, No, No, Yes, No, etc. Before each major section (Income, Deductions, Credits), it present a long checklist of potential items to enter in. In terms of user experience, H&R Block also uses a question-and-answer format like other tax prep software, but I actually think they have the best layout for intermediate to advanced users (i.e. All of them are perfectly acceptable, but that is my personal ranking. If I was comparing with TurboTax and TaxACT, I would say H&R Block is a little less pleasing than TurboTax and a little more pleasing than TaxACT. In terms of overall visual feel, the 2014 user interface is clean and pleasant.

I am reviewing the more popular online software, not the desktop download software which may be different both in user experience and price.

Due to having stock sales but no self-employment deductions, I am going with H&R Block Deluxe Online which costs $29.99 for Federal and $36.99 for State ( free state options may be available separately).

H&R Block Online comes in Free, Basic, Deluxe, and Premium tiers. I filed my personal tax return using each of the “Big 3” and I will try to share the overall experience along with their specific strengths and weaknesses. Here is my 2014 review of H&R Block Online DIY tax preparation software, to complement my TurboTax 2014 review and TaxACT 2014 review.
