I switched to HR Block because TurboTax stopped working with Windows 10. Overall the software did the job. The taxes are done and filed. However, definitely less user friendly than Turbotax. You cannot see the whole picture, everything is in pieces, have to go to certain forms to see exactly how it was calculated. Very hard to get rid of unnecessary forms if the system decided you need them. At some point had to delete imported data from the financial institution and re-entry manually, for could not see imported data in details and had a feeling something is missing. The software is nor bad at all, but you have to trust it is accurate and it is hard to do when you are first time user.

I am not tech savvy. Was able to download the program and reasonably easy to do my own taxes. Hardest part is having assembled all the documentation. Then it is plug and chug.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so happy to hear about your positive experience! We appreciate your time & business and thank you for taking time out of your day to provide us with valuable feedback!
I have used this software for a few years now and find it to be satisfactory in preparing my taxes. I wish some of the items had better explanations. I had to do independent research on some items as the software did not explain it well
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Turns out the State of Oregon refund was greater according to the state. Apparently your program determined the incorrect “ kicker” amount, . Not good!
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund

Each security transaction should include a field in which I can enter adjustment to purchase price that reflects recapture of amount disallowed for wash sale. Your instructions tell me that I can do this, but don't explain how. So I just replace the cost that you took from the 1099 with the adjusted cost. Also, there should be field(s) to enter social security paid by countries having tax treaties with USA, since the USA treats it like USA Social Security.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this same software for years. My return is not real complicated but the IRS forms and schedules are, so having a program that just asks questions and puts the $$$ where it needs to go is great.
