I have used H&R Block for over 20 years. The fact that the server went down ON TAX DAY is a problem. A worse problem is your complete lack of communication to the community, your customers, or any other media regarding the outage. How many people were not able to file their taxes on time because of your negligence? You knew the system was down the day before. You should have been all over every communication outlet telling everyone so that they could have made alternate plans. Additionally, your multiple charges for the attempts to submit the e-file is egregious. Shame on you. You need to make this right.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've used either Turbo Tax or HR Block for at least 15 years. For over the last 5, I've consistently used HR Block. For me, it's easier, has proven to be accurate, and I seem to complete my returns a little quicker and with more confidence. So, no reason to switch to something else.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've been using this software to do my taxes for over 10 years and love it and will keep on using it. Extremely easy to load on my computer, safe and simple to use.
Does what it should. Seems a bit expensive. Sometimes it asks for info or flags data that seems irrelevant (such as average mortgage balance on mortgage interest worksheet, which should be unnecessary); not easy to get explanation or help with providing value. Issues importing consolidated 1099 from Schwab.
Love the desktop h&r block program, been using it for 12 years. I hope they never stop making it. Greatly prefer having my data on my own machine instead of trusting it to a cloud based software.
Really bad experience using the software. Had duplicate entries that didn't show up until I printed it. Would have cost me thousands if I didn't print it.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Software is great. Always easy and reliable. Latest electronic submission process is problematic and apparently does not handle extreme load well. If you wait near the deadline to submit it failed you
