1) After initial installation we immediately get the up-sell to premium version. The up-sell says "one free state included". It turns out this DOESN'T include the e-file. That's no different what you already get with the Deluxe version. Incredibly dishonest and deceptive. 2) Instructions for each step are useless -- they are simply copies of the IRS instructions. That isn't the least bit helpful.

The server issues on tax filing day this year are unacceptable. I've used this software for years and this will be the last.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is sixth year I've filed using H&R Block Deluxe software. It's straight forward to use except for one investment. H&R Block Deluxe is not designed for reporting an energy producing royalty trust. After data entry the final printed copy omits the name of the royalty trust company. The heading is blank.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Seriously, I've been using this program for over 20 years, and the lord willing, I will use it for the next twenty years. . . . Unless AI, Skynet, and the robots take over, then they will know years in advance how much I owe the government to use on useless pork.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
