Acceptable except for updating issues

The program works as it needs to for entering the data. Some items could be better explained bt the main issue was in doing the federal and state updates. It took me five tries - only after restarting my computer - to finally get it to update before starting the return. To make it more frustrating, after I completed the return and pressed the ok button to e-file, the darn thing would file until another update was completed which also took several tries. Each time I had to re-enter data before the update finally took. I may look to another tax software if this updating bug isn't fixed by next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

(1) It kept asking me for the SSN of a deceased ancestor. There was no such ancestor, nor any such SSN, which I kept saying but to flag wouldn't go away. (2) Many of the terms are not familiar, especially about withdrawals from a Traditional IRA.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

First, the updating process doesn't work on macOS. I had to manually find the updates on the web site and install them. Secondly, it would be nice to show all additional fees. Even though I purchased "Federal plus State", there is a fee for the state section and a second fee for filing electronically.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using H&R Block Tax Software for the past 14+ years. I have seen the tax world get more complex and H&R has helped me through them. I love the ability to just click on a box and have it explained to me. You ask questions to get me to the right area. Thank you.
I have been using the H&R Block software for 23 years. I takes a little time to learn to navigate, but I use it with confidence. The price/quality is a best value.
Overall very good, with a couple of e-file hiccups

Just filed my taxes with this software. Overall, the software did as expected and was easy to navigate. A couple of hiccups when I as e-filing my return. I completed all the e-file steps including payment instruction and when I hit send, it stopped and said I needed to get latest software update. It did ask that I save before the update which is good, but normally if the software needed an update it would do when you first opened the software. So I had to to start e-file sequence again after update, but since it was saved it was just verification info was correct and move to next step. Then, when I hit send for the second time, it kicked me out again, with a message that there was an incorrect zip code on one a 1099-R. I performed an accuracy check 2 times prior to that and it didn't catch it. So I corrected zip code and went through e-file sequence again and sent e-file with success.
