Average Quality Tax Software

I have used this software on and off for many years. It does the job, but it has had minimal improvements over the years. The interface is crude. The Help FAQs are minimal and not well written for comprehension, and frequently refer the user to the IRS Instructions. This year, H&R Block introduced an AI Assistant. Unfortunately, it is not ready for serious work as the AI could only answer 1 out of 4 questions posed to it. I stopped using it at this point. The tax form import feature does not support many investment companies. I will most likely only use this software in the future if it is at a deep price discount.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have used this program successfully for years. My only gripe is the high cost of e-filing the State return.

I've been using HR Block software for the last 5 years. Our taxes are fairly simple (a bunch of W-2s and 1099s), so I'm not sure how more complex taxes are handled. Being able to directly import forms makes sure that everything is entered correctly and there are no typos. Another thing I like is that many of the obscure items are listed as "uncommon" which tells me that unless I hear something, it probably doesn't apply. One thing I wish was better is the descriptions of some of the items. I know a 1099 is fairly straight forward, but talking about certain deductions when you click "more info", it doesn't really tell what the deduction is. Instead, it just mentions that if it applies to you, you put it in.
The entire form from start to finish (done in multiple sittings due to availability of tax forms) takes about 2-3 hours.
Pros: Easy to import documents
