Solid, worth the cash, can be impoved--Linux pleas

Worked pretty well. All the basic Federal stuff solid, except for next years estimated tax with holding sections which didn't import current year data. That was minor. State a little behind Fed; explanations of certain deductions and limitations sometime curt. Not a show stopper, just something to improve upon. It would be great if H&R came out with a Linux version in the future for those of us who are not going to use Windows 11.

I've been using H&R Block software for years. Very easy to step through the process. Once I have my 1099s and W2s and such, I can usually do my taxes during a couple of cups of coffee.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
I HAVE BEEN USING TURBO TAX FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I WAS FORCED TO USE H&R BLOCK THIS YEAR AS TURBO TAX WILL NOT WORK ON WINDOWS 9. TURBO TAX IS FAR MORE USER FRIENDLY THAN H&R. H&R IS VERY CUMBERSOME TO WORK WITH, PARTICULARY IN MAKING CHANGES TO EARLIER SECTIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILLED. I HAD TO KEEP DOING FORMS OVER AND OVER TO GET RID OF THE INCOMPHRENSIBLE ERROR LISTS BEFORE I COULD EVEN PRINT A WORKING FORM. I DO NOT INTEND TO USE IT NEXT YEAR.

Overall good program, but the error checks at the end are frustrating. Upon completion of a return, there is a final error check. It is difficult to understand why the program doesn’t ensure that the errors are fixed before moving on from the point of entry. I am dissatisfied.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used the product for many years. The manner and order of stock transactions are arranged for checking is very cumbersome, and does not return to last used area. Otherwise, it is very easy to navigate.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

I feel there was an error in the Fed-to-OH State software. OH ask for value from line 1 of Fed Schedule A but value transferred was not the value shown on Fed Schedule A. This caused me many days delay. Otherwise all seemed to go well with program.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
