Better Than Writing A Check To Barack Hussein Obama
Tax time 2017, and you may be looking for the best online tax software for your 2016 taxes…
At least this year we have President Donald J. Trump in charge of the money we’ll be paying in – that helps some.
Tax programs are a big deal to me since, because of my background in technology, finance and accounting, I’m the one who gets stuck doing all the family and friends tax returns for free. Notice my ‘Old Fart’ shirt I’m wearing – I’m old enough that I learned to complete tax returns the old fashioned way with paper & ink!
As a result, lots of people ask me every year what online tax program they suggest to do their taxes with…
Back in the old days, I started with TurboTax and was pretty happy – until one year they decided to burn their loyal following!
I switched to H&R Block Tax Software and never gone back. Sure, I still check every year to see if there is some reason to switch, but as of yet I have not found it.
Time Over Money
You know paying taxes is bad enough, not much we can do about it (other than throwing the bums out and electing new ones every few years) – what we CAN control is how much of our TIME we let them steal from us too.
The right online tax software (you can also run on your computer if you prefer) can help reduce the amount of your precious TIME that the government steals from you along with the taxes they extract at the barrel of a gun.
The older I get the more I realize that money is potentially replaceable, but my TIME is not. If you allow someone to steal your time from you it is gone forever. And life truly does seem like the years are a roll of toilet paper and go faster the closer to the end you get.
H&R Block Tax Software comes in a few versions depending on what is right for you. I get the ‘Deluxe’ version which happens to come with 1 State tax program (for family/friends in ILL-inois – the great State of TEXAS has no income tax 🙂 ) and I think maybe 5 credits for filing electronically.
But if you don’t need all that, get one of the more basic versions instead (you can see the version lineup here).
The whole point is to get your taxes DONE, get them done QUICKLY and either MAXIMIZE your REFUND or minimize what you pay – however you want to look at it – and move on with your life!
