I have used this software for several years. In fact, it's the only tax preparation software that I've ever used. This year I was very disappointed on Sunday when I attempted to e-file my return and kept getting the bad gateway error. Also tried on Monday and got the same message. I resorted to submitting a paper file and check for taxes owed to be sure that I made the deadline. Then I found out tonight when checking my email that the return was accepted last night. Now I'm wondering what is going to happen with the duplicate returns and payments. How do I get it back!!! Will probably look to different software next year :(
I have been using H&R block software to file taxes for more than 5 years now. Overall it is a decent software to file taxes, except when you have to do a stock transaction import. The import works quickly and flawlessly, but after that, verifying that is the most painful process i have ever seen. except that and few annoying bugs, it is good.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

This software did the job for me with my taxes, but it definitely isn't as straight forward and easy as Turbo Tax. I was expecting questions on what happened the past year, at least for the question to be asked about buying a new home after indicating that I sold my last home. If you're not an experienced tax filler I cannot recommend this unless you have someone you can go to.
Pros: Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Software didn’t mention anything about the irs pin numbers until after the return was rejected for not having the pin. Refiling caused multiple filing charges to hit my cc. I have used this software for @30 yrs. This year’s software is a disgrace!
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

When the tax return is complete, the issues found need to be more simply stated with a recommended fix. Example, when a couple files married separate why dies the other Spouses birthday when filled in cause the return to not be electronically filed.
Could not e-file my returns, which is the whole purpose of the product. HRBlock was cheaper than TurboTax, so I used HRBlock for the first time. Going back to TurboTax next year…
