It works to do your taxes. But often, I find that there is little overview to help me understand if I need to spend time going through a section. It does this a bit for if you itemize or take a standard deduction, but in many other places I feel like I am needlessly going through sections I could avoid if I had more of an overview. Another example had to do with my state taxes. These did not explain anything with respect to the way different 1099-R forms were handled. More descriptions should be available for various sections, plus more explanations on why certain things happen.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall. While we aim for 5-star satisfaction, we understand that there may be areas where we can improve. We appreciate your business and value your input.
Not sure I'll use this next year. Some of the questions are not clear; I had trouble with the RMD questions, for example. Also, the forms printed to be mailed for the State return included ones that looked like worksheets, with no bar codes, and one specifically said "Not For Filing"! I'm depending on the software to guide me on what to mail.....
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

The H*R Block servers were not accessible on 4/10 - 4/13. I could not download a state return nor file federal. And, to make things worse, the software blamed the problem on my computer. Just plain inexcusable !! I've used H&R Block for several years but no more. Next year - TurboTax.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Found so many errors in the software - missing schedules, numbers pulling from wrong back up worksheet, assumptions made based on previous filing that don't apply this year that I had to manually remove when there were no values input.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
