I've been using H&R Block tax software for several years now, and I always find it to be fairly straightforward and easy to use. I encountered some new challenges this year due to a new tax situation, but the software helped guide me through it. The problem was with the IRS's convoluted and obfuscated instructions.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund

I bought the premium package that seemed to allowed for more itemized deductions. Just starting the program was too complicated. So, I took a loss on that and bought the deluxe package. Turned out standard deduction worked better after all. So, I wasted money on premium. Also, every year I get a letter from South Carolina Internal Revenue asking for copies of my 1099-Rs, which is an inconvenience.

After using Turbo Tax for 25+ years, I took a chance and tried this out. It's not quite a simple as TT, but after using it and double checking my work, it has filled the bill. Now I can prepare for next year!

I had problems running the state tax software. I purchased PA but when I tried to do the return, it kept telling me I had to update the federal software or I couldn't run the state. An endless loop for weeks. Not a good experience. A shame because I have been using your software for more than 15 years.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s the program… same one I’ve used for years and yet it’s getting harder to complete. They are problems with it that shouldn’t be a new problem. For instance you need to know your AGI or adjusted gross income from the previous year in order for the IRS to accept it electronically. And yet the program tells you it’s imported the AGI from the previous years return… but the imported number is “0” It's difficult to override it and I waste time trying to do so. Our taxes are simple, the program is full of errors and in need of software updates. The worse thing is that the problems are problems that were NOT a problem in prior years. Another example that still exists is reviewing or editing my spouses W-2 information. The program still does NOT allow for it without it being a problem.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really appreciate everything that the software does. My only complaint is how expensive it is to eFile the state return. I would gladly trade some of the 5 free Federal eFiles for one state one.
