Over ten years experience using H&R Block Deluxe + State. The software is easy to install and follow. Its very thorough, covering all my situations. Been coming back year after year and recommending it to family and friends.
I attempted to use the online version and quickly fled back to the standalone version installed on my machine. The standalone version is clearer, more stable, and just feels more secure. Like all software it has quirks to learn but the product works.
I liked the software in several ways. Establish the order of data entry. Assist in avoiding errors. Running computation as I progressed. The final check to show that the return was accurate and ready to submit. Much quicker refund.
Software is extremely intuitive and the description for when to use or not use a particular claim are detailed and extremely beneficial. I definitely feel H&R Block software is a fantastic tool for those interested in doing their own federal and state income tax return paperwork.
I have been using this software for about 40 years without disappointment. I will continue to use the product because is helpful enough for some in their high 80's.
