I have used this program for the past 15 plus years and I have never had any problems doing my taxes or others. It is very easy and self-explanatory. The program basically does the work for you.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Have been using the H&R Block Deluxe software for a few years now and it has always done exactly what it needs to do. Overall, the process for stepping through the various areas work well. Only pet peeves. 1) It needs to do more to incorporate crypto. I said "yes" to the question about having had gains, but after that, there were no prompts or guidance about where to note these gains (Google gave me the answer). 2) The option to file a state return electronically shouldn't cost as much as it does.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
I have used H&R Block interchangeably with turbo tax for ten or more years and this years experience has put turbo tax in the rear view mirror. Turbotax is much easier to use and a better value as well.

no Chase import, poor .txf handling, failed e-file

- does not support importing from (JP Morgan) Chase - had to download .csv, convert to .txf, ... - even then it didn't import the .txf correctly, I had to type in buy and sell dates for all transactions - didn't allow me to e-file because I claimed Foreign Tax Credit on ordinary income - said that column (p) means I cannot e-file. that's a bug. TurboTax has no issues filing with FTC.
too many ambiguous and unclear words/statements/instructions : produced erroneous results ; had to re-file an amended e-file return - was getting a nice refund but that changed into oweing IRS money..??!! ; you need to have a very good understanding of taxes and terminology to get thru this correctly... my taxes were not very complicated either : will not be using this program next year.
