I expect software to be up and going in 5-10 seconds.
This software takes 2-3 minutes. Bleh.
Cons: Time consuming

The program was straight forward and easy to fill out. The main issue was at the end. When trying to file electronically, the program asked for a 5 digit PIN number before filing. Then after filing, the IRS rejected the filing, stating that a six digit PIN that was provided by the IRS needed to be used. First, you have to go to the IRS profile for you and retrieve your 6 digit PIN. There still wasn’t any step in the program to input the 6 digit PIN. Only after some online chat instruction was I able to input the 6 digit PIN. That wasn’t enough. You still had to create a 5 digit PIN before you could transmit your form to the IRS and be accepted. The program needs to be updated to include the 6 digit PIN before continuing to file electronically.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents

I had to buy the software twice because trying to install it on an office computer. It get blocked five times and then I got locked out, so I installed the software at home and used it like I had for the last 1010 years at least and it worked fine, but I’ve paid twice instead of once.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

I have used H&R Block software for 25 to 30 years I don't remember the first year I bought it. It has always been easy to use, especially when my returns were much more complicated. I have no need to try any other product. I have never worried about an audit!
