Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
What is the best Tax software in your opinion?
We've used a tax preparer the last several years and last year she fudged up pretty bad and wouldn't admit it was totally her fault that our daughter didn't get her refunds. She put someone else's bank account information on her tax returns, so her refunds went to someone else's bank. She swore she put the right info and not someone else's, I proved her wrong, she never apologized or helped to correct her mistake, told us we had to correct it with the irs and state ourselves. Do you know how hard it is to get an employee from the state to actually get something done right? She called twice and they still sent it to the other person's account and she still hasn't gotten it straightened out yet, along with a check the state sent out to everyone, that also went to someone else. This woman had the nerve to send us her normal "tax time" letter. Uh, no thank you, we will do our own taxes by ourselves again like we use to.
My husband used to buy H&R Block pc program. He’s done our taxes at least 15-20 years. They no longer have anything physical for purchase. A few years he used the free app & did it on phone. I guess this year he used free option on the website because he used the PC.
What free option and on what website?
We use to use H&R Block program also before we started using that tax person, and was thinking to use that program again but wasn’t sure if they were the best or easiest program to use now or not.
I’m not sure. I can ask him later today. We have not had any issues. We don’t have deductions and don’t know if that makes it simpler.
Thank you!
