Editions from previous years were more seamless, and more accurate on the state return. I would not recommend the SC package.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund

I have used H&R Block deluxe for years. Now that we are older and have virtually no deductibles ( file with simple 1040 form) this software zooms thru our tax preparation. I think I finished in 10 minutes.
I've been using the H&R Block tax software for a number of years so I went with it again for the 2023 tax year. As usual, I spent more time collecting and organizing the paper input documents than I did entering the data.
This product was terrible filing federal return online. Kept saying it failed to file but received confirmation emails from HR Block that the return was filed, then that the return was accepted by the IRS. Payment was due with return and chose to pay with credit/debit card and still have not been able to make the payment as the software still thinks the return has not even been transmitted or received. Will not use the software for future years and don't recommend
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are retired with no mortgage expense and based on our income we will always be better off with the standard deduction. Why can't we just have the option to skip all the deduction questions and skip straight to "standard deduction"? I'm thinking about going back to paper, it would be faster and results would be the same. Also, whenyou get to error correction, why can't you just pree a button and go to the appropriate form to make the correction.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Each year I purchase the Deluxe version as early as possible to get an early start and to familiarize myself with any new tax laws and updates. I use last year’s return to propagate as much data as possible for the new tax year. Then, I estimate and enter my financial data to provide a ballpark figure of my tax status, and enter actual data as it arrives from various financial institutions. After I go through the entire process sequentially for the first time, I then revisit individual sections that need follow up or further analysis. Finally, I create a copy of my tax return file and use it to keep a running, rough estimate of taxes for the coming year, and to determine whether to make quarterly estimated tax payments for the coming year.
