    In the 2018 H&R Block software, one you get to the state section and select “Next” I get a dialogue prompt saying “You need administrator privilege in order to purchase and install a state”. I’ve made sure my account is in an administrator role, I’ve launched the program as administrator and I’ve attempted to reinstall the state portion in the program itself but haven’t been met with success yet, always end with the same error. Anyone else experience this? Running Windows 10 btw

    H&R Block has the glitchiest tax software on the market; TurboTax isn't far behind. I've used both in the past and cringe when a customer asks to buy either at the store where I work.

    TaxAct is the best. I've used it several years in a row with zero issues. If it were me, I'd try to see if H&R Block still has a money-back guarantee (they paid up when I complained years ago) then go to www.taxact.com. TaxAct's online option is about half the price of buying/downloading the full package and does exactly the same thing.

    Solid advice, but at this point I’m invested. I spent 3 or so hours inputting data and going over forms. This is the first year I’ve had rental properties which complicates things. Long story short, my federal is ready to be submitted and just trying to get the state portion done. From my understanding of you submit them separately the state may require you to submit physically too.

    I’ve used them for the past 4-5 years, mainly since they pull data from prior years returns but may look into changing things up next year.
