I bought this thru a third party vendor and was disappointed in the outcome. In all my years of using I’ve never run into the problem of e-filing. When purchased it says I can do up to 5 e-files free. After submitting two returns for free the next two I did I had to pay out of pocket because it claimed I had reached my limit. If the limit is 5 free why was I only able to do 2? Very disappointing.
Pros: Easy to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The software was fine but when it came to E-file I could not and I tried multiple times. This caused my credit card to be charged every time I tried to efile. This caused a lot of confusion so this needs to be fixed in the future.
Pros: Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’m a long term user of HR Block tax software and generally like it. This year I had two problems. First was a paid upgrade to Premium that didn’t properly install. Second was the server crash that happened while I was attempting to submit. While I understand that glitches happen, there was zero communication about the server issue for almost 24 hours leaving customers with no idea if it was their own computer, router or software and panicking about whether taxes would meet the filing deadline.
Cons: Time consuming

Very happy with purchase less expensive than other software and imports files with no issues. Software easy to use no problems updating software or with e file
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've been a loyal customer for more than a decade. However this year, H&R block let me down in a big way. Buying premium, I found out that it could not handle filing as a Trust or Estate! This was not what I was led to believe.
Then I could not eFile my taxes the weekend before April 15 (Monday). Surely they would have been prepared for the volume of customers that needed to file by Monday!?! In the end, I had to file on paper and now I need to deal with a dozen credit card charges on my CC bill for eFile attempts that did not go through!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This continues to be my choice in tax software providing great value for the cost.
I would suggest that they better highlight the changes in tax code from year to year. I have been using them from year to year from when itemizing deductions mattered. I would have liked some notice of how the process had simplified on the state side. It would have made the process even faster and simpler.
