I bought this thinking, state e-file was also free, that's not the case. The software is a little hard to navigate at times and sometimes I totally got stuck in a loop. Lots of improvements could be used to make it more user friendly.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I switched this year from turbotax and was astonished that I could not import my tax data from my Merrill Lynch account. I thought is was an error that would be corrected during an update but I was wrong. So I spent several hours entering Schedule B info. Not what I was expecting, definitely disappointed.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After many years of using TurboTax, I switched to H&R Block last year to try something new and I wasn’t disappointed. The software is easy to use and when completed, getting status updates to your filing. I liked it so much that I used it again this year. One suggestion is to put the AGI next to the box where you display the refund as you work on the return. Thank you!!!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

H&R Tax software has been my go-to tax program for many years. It's easy to use for my family taxes and we have never had any issues.

This is the second year in a row that the program would not allow me to efile two returns. The reason being was because I left out the pin number for the prior years and the adjusted gross income from previous year. The first time I did my returns, it showed a substantial refund. I started over from scratch and it show a much smaller refund., still would not allow me to efile. I gave it another try and it show that I had to pay a substantial amount. I did my friend taxes and it would not allow him to efile for similar reason it wouldn't accept mine. I printed his return for mailing. A few days later I started from scratch again. This time it showed me getting a decent return and allowed me to efile.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
