Always Easy To Use

I have used H&R Block tax software and previously TaxCut software since the 1980’s and would not consider using any other for taxes. It is easy to use, even with the somewhat complex investment issues.
I've use the program for many years on my laptop, but it's not Win7 compatible, so I tried to install it on my win10 desktop. It would not install. The Help called for turning off Windows services, and since I use this machine for sophisticated video and audio work, I'm not willing to mess with an operating system that has no problems with dozens of other programs of much greater sophistication. A simple tax data spreadsheet like program should not be so much of a challenge. On the other hand, it worked just fine on the supposedly unsupported Win7 machine! As for the program itself, I'm 100% satisfied with the federal return but disappointed that some simple calculations for the Michigan return have to done manually when all the data is there in the program. It's just transfer a number to the next box if born before a certain year if a box is checked for a municipal pension, half if later but before another year and zero if after. Also when I confirm a questioned entry, my verification is not accepted. I complain about this every year, but it never gets fixed.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
I have always used and loved H&R Block Software. I downloaded the MAC version and had so many problems. It would bomb out and lose my data. Eventually, I purchased a copy for my Windows computer that worked fine. Not sure what was going on. I also had a lot of issues with importing documents. I had to enter most of them manually. I never had to do that in previous years.
The program has been updated several times between December & April. It may give the preparer an impression that it won't be ready until the last update is downloaded. If I prepare & submit the Federal, State & Local returns before downloading the last "Update version", do I miss anything/item/amount on the tax returns? would I miss anything on
Everything works easily, but if you have questions

I have used H & R Block for years without any issues, but this year, I had a few questions which were not easily answered. I wish the chat feature actually had a person on the other end instead of a short variety of problems, none of which were my problem. Had to close out program and search for answer on my own.
Federal passed analysis but we could not correct an issue to e-file. It was reporting a false error. We finally solved by changing it, saving it, then putting it correct again and it went; stayed in pending statues for two months; problem was we could not e-file our State then which is required by statute. Had same glitch for State after Federal Accepted. It was reporting an error that our wages were less than tax paid. Not true and a look at the form showed correct entries and that a bogus warning. It would not be logical or allow filing. I finally did the same trick; change the entry wrong, put it back the same or correct and it took. But the returns were filed not at the same time and it only shows the status of one at a time. I sometimes get it to show Fed, but mostly just State alone. It is totally wonky this year. Lost confidence in it after 30 years.
