I have been a TurboTax desktop user for many years before this. However, this year, they mandated an arbitrary requirement for Windows 11. Unwilling to either upgrade my PC for a single piece of software or buy a web service I had not used before, I decided to give H&R's DIY software a try. The experience was positively similar to their competitor's and I am confident in its result. Thank you!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cons: Time consuming

Been using it for years. Easy to use, and just gets the job done. I am an investor and a retiree over 70 so my return is not the least complicated thing to do.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

This program has numerous bugs, which caused rejection of my electronic filing by the IRS and forced me to mail a paper return. Some details: 1) Wrongly interpreting day of birth, choosing 1040-SR instead of 1040 and adding a Social Security income form. 2) Forcing the inclusion of form 8959, even though no community income exists. 3) Arithmetical errors in form 5329
Also, when adding details to medical expenses in a items list, attempting to review what I entered brings the IRS form instead of showing the details as entered.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mostly good. FYI, IRS does’t allow refund by check

Verified Purchase:Yes
Software was easy to use and I’ll value it much more when my taxes become more complicated. Only complaint is your software allowed me to request a check for my tax refund, but the irs contacted me to say this wasn’t allowed and only direct deposit to a bank account will be allowed
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents
