I was honestly scared this time due to Bad gateway error encountered on very last day . Wasted my time trying for other tax softwares , panicked and had to take off of work to submit the return on very last day . Tax filling indeed was more stressful with h&r, considering another alternative next year .!

Past years this has worked fairly well. The big advantage is e-filing, but it does help to keep all the documents straight and track which forms you need. However, this year was a nightmare. Nighttime on 14 April the eFile servers go down and are out until after noon on the 15th. Next, the IRS rejects my eFile for two reason, both of which are imported when you use your TY2002 file. It tells you the two reasons and gives instructions on how to resolve them. One instruction refers to my spouse's last years AGI, but we always file jointly and there is no such thing. Tells me to use a work-around that does not exist. Points to a line on a form 17z; there isn't one. Second item is last years PIN for my wife is incorrect. I check it against last years file, and it is correct. I look on last years printout, still correct. I had to give up, and use their last resort instructions, which to print it out and file paper. Unacceptable.
Pros: Fast

Other than servers being down on the most important day of the year for taxpayers, and being charge 29 separate times for something I never got. (No exaggerations), and spending the full day printing and mailing my returns, I would say it's a good product. If you like to do those kinds of things in your "not free" time.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

I’ve used this program for years. The system issues related to e-filing my taxes on 4/14 and 4/15 have me seriously considering a new process next year. The pending charges have still not cleared my account. Would not recommend after this year’s experience.

The software generally worked well. However, we ran into a digital submission problem with the kids returns and had to mail them in. Also, there were some categories for NY W-2 deductions that were not listed this year, like SDI that were there in the past.
I had to put my poll worker pay in as jury duty. You had no other way of handling.
Cons: Hard to prepare

Many bugs in the product this year. Automated transfer of transactions from the broker? Yes, but I had to confirm every single transaction. Obviously, HR&Block don't know what short selling is!
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
