Have been using this software for years and have been very happy with it. After retirement my returns have been fairly simple, but prior to that it handled everything I threw at it.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s my first year switching from the biggest brand tax software program and I am very happy I switched. No more frustrations. PROS: - Ease of use and experience way better than competitors - import of competitors tax forms was easy - Expected inputs, no surprises
CONS - You have to download a program to save your tax return as a PDF - jumping to a section is cumbersome - final review is a bit repetitive

TOO many glitches this year. After return was submitted once had to resubmit later. Still don't know which one was accepted as there were different refund calculations with same data. Not due to updates...
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

I bought The HR Block Deluxe several month's ago with an online discount. I've used this HR Block Deluxe program with OK results for several years now primarily for the convenience of E-filing. However this year I ran into a snag E-filing that I couldn't resolve. This involved a supposed error relating to one of my 1099-R forms Payer ID number. Even after verifying all the numbers and passing HR Blocks final reviews, every attempt to E-file was rejected. Also, I feel HR Block's cost to E-file my State form is excessive and I'll just file both federal and state returns by mail.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
