Is the computer training course from H&R block more difficult than the written one or is it the same thing?

The class is about the same thing.  They teach the written so that you know where different stuff belongs and the theory behind it.  On the computer you are just inputing information that is given you.  When you look at the return that you just input in the program you are checking that everything is where it goes and that you did not input something on the wrong screen of the program.  You will know that if you have taking the written course or you know how to do tax returns by hand( pen and paper).

National Certification is tough for everyone!  It's a great deal of writing and documenting.  Key to passing...document document document!!  Also find a huge support group to help you!

While you most likely could test out of the class, I think that it would be more benficial for you to take the class. Most jobs today are computer oriented, and the more knowledge you have in computers, the better off you are in the long run. Good Luck to you!

You need to do the work yourself. I am sure there is a lot of information on technical training websites. You can do it- good luck.

I wish there was a straight forward answer to this question.\n\nBecker has several different methods of "delivery" including live classes, web classes, and CD-ROM movies, as well as the books used solo.\n\nOf these methods, I believe that the CD-ROM method is the quickest, as you can take classes at your own speed.  Each section is sub-divided into lectures which vary in length, but run approximately 2 to 3 hours depending on the breaks and how long the test questions will take you.  I believe there are approximately 7 lectures (you can get the data from Becker's web-site) so you can assume approximately 70-80 hours of instructional time with about the same amount of study.  As you can see, that is about one-months full-time work.\n\nIf you choose the live instruction, the time to complete would be based upon your local class schedule; this schedule is influenced by holidays and generally consists of weekly or bi-weekly seminars.\n\nI would recommend a staggered approach, starting with the areas you believe will be most difficult and then trying to pick the low-hanging fruit once you have the credits for the more difficult sections.\n\nGood luck with your preparation.

It's pretty costly depending on your income and refund amount.  I once sat through 2 hours of having them do my taxes and they hit me with a $300 bill.  The good thing is that you can opt out before they submit it, which is what I did.  I then went home and filed on tutbotax.com, I paid about $50 and got the same results as the H&R Block guy.  I suggest you try to do it on your own.  If it is too difficult, then take it to a professional.

After 26 years working in a grocery store unloading trucks, stocking shelves and bagging groceries,the management told the top senior employees(we are all males, by the way) that they wanted us to learn the register. It was only because my cheap a-s-s company didn't want to hire more cashiers. Every function was challenging but I got the hang of it after about three times. However, that didn't last very long. Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went and I was never put on the register ONE TIME, and forgot everything they tried to teach me. So much for "cross-training". The cashiers who work on the registers daily, though, have no difficulty remembering functions and codes. You'll be fine !

Study your manuals and not take shortcuts as if you do you will short yourself and the next level will be harder. Sounds preachy but the course is to better you. I've taken lot's of those courses and when I went to Iraq I was amazed at the little things that pertained to my MOS that I found useful.

I second that.\nThe help files are more than sufficient to teach you how to use it.\nBut don't expect it to be easy.\nYou are really going to need to read and learn in order to use it.

Maybe its easier to forge a document. Do some research on the Interenet, what does you employer expect ?

I used Turbo Tax for the web for two years and this year I used H&R Block's TaxCut. In my opinion, Turbo Tax for the web was far superior.

You ask someone from H&R Block.

At my college, we have some lower level math classes that are taught by computers. There is an aide in the room, but they are not encouraged to help the student. While I have never taken such a class, I have a friend who did and she hated it. She felt like she never really learned anything, just enough to figure out the test, which by the way was a written exam, something completely different from the teaching methods.

My husband has no formal education in computers and he has worked on them for about 4 years now.  He runs into people that are A+ certified and says that they "act" like the know everything about computers when really they're ignorant jerks.  Just don't be like that and I think you'll be fine.
