I use this every year, and have been really pleased with it. This year after an update, the program appeared to have a little glitch. After clicking the "continue" button at the bottom of each screen, the program would take be back to the screen prior instead of moving forward. I hope they fix this in the next update. Otherwise, everything is great.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

This year's 2025 Tax Software has too much paperwork to read and understand about your tax software and legalities. all i wanted is to file my taxes. took me longer than i like and feel unsafe of my information being shared outside of the country. will think about whether to remain with H&R block to do my tax next year.

It may just be that I am becoming more familiar with the product (this is my second year using it) but I found it straightforward and easy to use. I did have to call your help line but my call was answered quickly and my question answered immediately. Good product!

The tax return functionality was alright, as usual (with the usual incomprehensible questions and wordings in the interview, and the interview leaving you on your own on everything that is not obvious, in particular on state returns). Not OK was that it was impossible to update the state version (CA) after initial install - because the state version UPDATE has higher minimum system requirements than the original instal. It took several hours on the phone to get me the link for a new installer
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The program is generally great, but I don't understand why it ALWAYS imports the wrong adjusted gross income from the previous year's return....information that must be correct for the IRS to accept a return.
