I have a MacBook Pro (late 2015) running Mojave.
I used TurboTax (formerly MacInTax) but dropped it when they weren’t compatible with my old MacBook’s OS, and switched to H&R Block’s software, which has worked fine for the past 2-3 years for me.
Now, I’m faced with a lot more choices: TurboTax or H&R Block’s Mac apps, or using either of them online; there are other options such as TaxCut, but I like the support I get from the big guys, as I have a complex return. I like the idea of not using up space on my MacBook’s SSD, but for comparison—this is all approximate, based on my recall:
Turbotax online (mine is complex, plus I have a state) $100 or so
H&R Block online. $90
Turbotax download $75
H&R Block disc $53 (darn, it was $45 yesterday on Amazon) or $54 download
(Oh, and my bank, Key, offers TaxCut for free if I agree to let them have all the info so they can sell me services. No way!)
I care less about the $50 or so difference in price as in how well these work, how good support is, etc.
So would you put the software on your MacBook or go online? Preferred company?
Thanks in advance
