Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this product for about 25 years because it is cheap and relatively easy to use. Some of the explanations and help are too vague, but overall fairly easy to use. However, I find it hard to forgive that the server for efiling went down on April 14th and did not come back online until the following afternoon of the 15th. This is unacceptable, and I will probably switch to turbotax.
Pros: Easy to import documents

Overall, easy to use, helpful hints and explanations when sought, and with one significant exception was very pleased. Strongly recommend you upgrade/modify how you treat Minimum Required Distributions. Should have specific page just for this. List any MRD's, including amount required.. On Same Page, list any amount that was submitted. Right now software does not allow this clear linkage, blending too many different issues together. That part was both confusing and frustrating, and some other tax prep software at same price point handles this in a much easier, clearer way.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Completing the return was fairly straightforward, but the e-file process was a nightmare due to your outage of several hours on 4/15. I ended up losing time from work preparing to print and mail the return, because you couldn't provide information/ETA on resolution. Then my state return was rejected, and there was no instruction on how to find the reason for rejection. I spent an hour on the phone with your agent to find the reject reason. It's the first and last time I will use your software for filing my state return .
Pros: Easy to prepare

Many bugs in this software this year. Adobe printing doesn't work. Servers failed on Tax Day. Massachusetts Health Insurance section does not handle Medicare. Massachusetts forms will not online file with deductions. etc.

Return completion was easy as always but filling my return this year was hair raising as your filling system was down from 9pm on 4/14 until 2pm on 4/15. That is totally unacceptable!

This is my third year using H&R Block software. I have found that I can get it done in one day vs a week with Turbo Tax. I have found that this software covers all corners of the tax file and even my financial planner likes the results.
