Program is ok but I experienced a major issue which I wish you had caught!
Last year my daughter was 23 and a full time student. This year she was 24 and was not. So you carried her forward as a dependent, which I didn’t catch and didn’t remove. I filed with her as a dependent.
Then, using the same program on the same laptop, she filed her own return and stated that she was not being claimed as a dependent on anyone else’s return. She filed and the IRS rejected her return since her SSN was identified on my return as a dependent.
So as a result, I had to refile, and she has to refile.
This could all have been avoided if you did a simple check to see if a SSN on one return is incorrectly indicated as a dependent on another return. Pretty unhappy that you didn’t flag this. I’ve been using H&R Block for at least 25 years but this has finally pushed me over the edge. Next year I’ll use TurboTax.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The H&R program keeps asking me if I want to buy the State program knowing the State I live in doesn't have an income tax. Also, has our ages, but ask us things that are unrelated to our age. And, no future summary to help us with our next tax year, this would be extremely helpful!!!
Cons: Hard to import documents

I am familiar with the H&R Block software and have used it for years. The interview process picks up all necessary information. It also computes whether to take the standard deduction or itemize. With my taxes, its best for the standard deduction on federal, but carries my entries over to the state where the itemized deduction is better. I can also create itemized lists for certain entries, i.e. multiple property taxes, but I wish there was an easier way to print out the specific lists with the print function.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
Not as many issues this year as last. Frustrating to deal with marketing gimmicks and sales. Hard to switch with the transfers form previous years.

I’ve been using this software for at least 10 years. It’s gotten worse over the years. This year was the worst, however, found a bug in the software that incorrectly calculated taxes owed relating to recharacterization of traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. portions of the traditional IRA were non-deductible and the software incorrectly tcalculated the tax. I reported this via phone at least two months before April 15 and was assured that it would be picked up in the next update and it never was. unacceptable. Will try TurboTax next year
