H&R Block H&R Block Can't Multiply Simple Numbers!

H&R Block

I have used various types of tax filing software over many years. I have used Turbo Tax, H&R Block, and a few others. Turbo Tax costs more than H&R Block for the same level of product. Turbo Tax has a superior UI, in short very nice! One year, I bought both to compare. The bottom line was they both had exactly the same numbers. So, saving a couple of bucks was for me. But regardless, I still oscillating between the two. I used H&R Block in tax year 2022 and am using it again in tax year 2023. So this year I put in enough information to get a taxable amount and the tax on that amount calculated. I put taxable income of $16,206 and H&R Block calculated a tax of $1,623, nothing was between these two lines. The calculation should be $16,206 x 10% = $1,621, a difference of $2. So what would happen if you had actual taxable income of $216,206? Would that be off by $2 every $16,206?

So for fun I guess, I spent two chat sessions with two different agents. The solution was I made a mistake in my calculation. Both agents offered me a chance to chat with a "tax pro". I asked was that free, the appointment is free. I declined of course.

I am now wondering of all the times I filed my return with H&R Block. But likewise, does Turbo Tax operate in this manner as well?

Anyone have thoughts on this?
