The combination of business returns and 1040s was awkward and messy to begin with, but I did get the individual program figured out and did 3 returns. The Business (Trust) program, however, was unworkable , illogically put together, and literally impossible to figure out. HELP was no help. I say this as a retired CPA who has done thousands of tax returns on many different programs; used TurboTax last year for this particular Trust return I needed to help a friend with. Since I couldn't decipher it, how can someone with no experience do so ? I did a couple of input forms by hand and sent my friend to a preparer who uses another program. I should get a refund for the Business part of this program.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've use H&R Block Premium & Business for many years and keep waiting for the Business portion of the program become easier to use and to be reliable. More work needs to be done on this portion of the software. The Premium portion continues to be reliable and helpful. My appreciation is shared for how much easier this software makes the task of filing.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business, and thank you for the valuable feedback!
The version i purchased seems to work, there are some items that seem buggie, like going back to change data or verify data, plus there is no phone number or live body i can speak to regarding anything?
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Hard to prepare

You regular software for individuals (1040) is a pleasure to use. In contrast your business software (1041) is clunky and hard to use. For starters it seems to have trouble finding last years return so I have to re-enter all of the basic information every year. The interview questions are less helpful and the inability to file these 1041 returns electronically is frustrating.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am using the business software for the second year. The first year went well. This year was terrible. We sold one of our cars. There were at least 3 reports out of balance by the book value. I knew what was causing the problem. I called your number. I could not get your automated system to transfer me to a live person. I hung up. I tried again. I must have said the magic word because I finally talked to a real person. She tried to help me but wasn't who I needed to talk to. After 20 minutes we were disconnected. You have a TERRIBLE phone system!!
Pros: Fast
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
