This program is great if you have a simple, straightforward tax return. Once you get to the additional forms that are required in certain situations, it gets quite confusing. I don't even feel that ours should have been complicated. I wish I had just taken my information to a professional.
Governments have made prepping taxes on paper almost impossible due to many special tax items (credits, disallowed deductions, etc.) and rules.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using H&R Block software for 3 or 4 years and I've been satisfied with the results and have recommended them to several of my friends. We all agree that we made the right decision. Thank you.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

I believe that this software was good but I will not know for sure until my return is verified. I will say that this is the first time I I owed so much but that may have been my fault
I've used this program for many years, so have been happy with the product. But the issue experience with failing to connect to your System on 4/14 and into 4/15 and complete the tax submission this year was really bad, especially right at the deadline.
More proactive information would have been better so I didn't try 3 times resulting in 3 additional changes to my credit card.
You should revisit your QA load testing and verify server/VM redundant architectures to prevent this issue next year.
I use it, but don't love it. So many nuisances. Just for one example, it imports transaction data from your brokerage for stock sales (capital gains), but then forces you to click through one at a time to confirm, which includes deleted about a dozen decimal place zeros. It screws up certain royalties. It provides boilerplate IRS language as "help".
