I have used the software since the days it was called TaxCut. I am not going to purchase your software for 2026 and beyond.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The software works, but it is awkward to use and progress on the return is difficult to track. Instead of showing you the form being filled out, you just answer a bunch of random questions behind the curtain data is entered on a form without you seeing where it goes and what the effect of the entry is. I have used TurboTax and its predecessors for 40 years and it is MUCH more intuitive, and you see what is happening.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

good for general returns. Anything with an IRA is complicated and could not get to work without overrides. Retirement distributions are also challenging
Pros: Fast
Cons: Hard to import documents

It does the job. I have the Mac version. My only complaints are: 1) The software has updates about every three weeks from Jan-April, right up to just before April 15. There is never any information available regarding what the update is about. Is it fixing bugs? Adding forms? This creates concern that if I file my return early (Feb or March), it might contain errors. HRBlock should clearly explain details of what’s in the updates. 2) The Backup feature never works, year after year.

In general, the product is easy to use, but there are several strong annoyances and inefficiencies: 1) Review of Imported Information is a horrible process. When I import the information from my financial services provider, this contains hundreds of instances for stock sales, dividends, etc. The Review Requirement then requires dozens of keystrokes for each one to review and clear. This adds hours of mindless effort to complete.
2) After completing the above, and clearing all exclamation points, this STILL left me with a data verification warning for all of these transactions.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
