I’ve been using H&R /lock software for quite a few years. Always accurate and easy to use. This past year, however, the state version made some boo boos and the state tax office sent me the letter. You know, the letter. Not an audit but they spotted a few goofs and fixed them for me. Luckily I did not owe but still. Sloppy sloppy.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I used the iMac version. Would not upgrade from within the program; had to use a workaround every time. This same problem was present the previous year; never fixed. I discovered an error in a taxable income computation, and emailed to find out how to report the problem to software development. Apparently, there’s no way to do that. When I e-filed, the program said I had to update first, but when I tried to update, the program said no updates were available. I’ve used HRB tax software for decades, but the quality has gotten very poor in the last few years.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I don’t have enough deductions to itemize. I just get the standard deduction. This software is way overpriced!

I have been using HR Block software probably 2 decades now and remain a loyal user. My tax situation is pretty simple and straightforward, but tax laws and language have always been a challenge to me. The software takes the stress out of the process for me.
