The interview format is easy to use and provides a thorough coverage of all required document. I have used H&R's tax programs for years. I have tried two other popular programs and fine H&R's superior.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
A mixed bag. The program itself is very good...set up to accommodate people with a wide variety of both computer and math skills. The best part...importing the Federal return into my State program (designed by the Governor's ten year old grandson?). This has saved me many hours of frustration. On the negative side: for the second year in a row, we could not import to 1099 from our financial institution. Impossible to get through to real person at Block, and when we did, the person knew far less than I do about filing/ importing etc. Eventually, my financial institution agreed to help and after three hours with their "Delta Force" technical team, they were able to overcome the Block software glitch. The live Block Rep had told us there was a problem but knew nothing about when it might be corrected or offered no suggestion re help from a Block technical person. We've been with Block for 25 years. Hate to leave but now have to consider other options.

We have used this product since 2016 and have been very happy with it, to the point of recommending it to others. This year it was a different story. We had trouble discerning what to do with a 1099-B where the cost basis was not reported. Contacted your help and received no help. Even tried the software phone number but got caught up in a robotic circle. Experience was frustrating, to say the least.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

H&R Block S/W has always been a good value. Does everything I need, and will work for the foreseeable future. My State (WA) just voted in a millionaires tax so I would imagine I'll have to use state filing in the near future but I'm sure H&R can handle it.
