I've been using H&R Block tax software since TurboTax had problems doing state taxes correctly. I noticed something unpleasant this year.

Although I have my taxes from last year on my computer - a T18 file - the program will not open them. Doing a browse for them, they don't even show up as a choice in H&R. When I tried to open the T18 file independently, nothing can read it. The H&R program said I must buy last year's program to open last year's report. I thought it would be simple enough to re-install last year's program and use that to open the file. No good. Apparently, H&R doesn't do a download when you buy their program. They must install it directly.

In the past, H&R was able to access last years program with no trouble, but not this year. I have a paper copy of my report, so I can use that, but the file I saved can be opened only by H&R. Doing my taxes this year, I see there's an option to save the tax report as a PDF, so that's what I'm doing.

Maybe this is just a glitch for me alone, but it's an unpleasant one.
