We have been using this software for years without problems.

I’ve been using the H&R Block program to file my own returns for around 30 years or more now (started in the early 1990’s). I’ve always had good results with it and continue to us the program today to file my own taxes on time each year.
Use is straight forward and appropriate for a population of users with diverse financial backgrounds. The interview wizard is normally the simplest way to get completed in as short a time as possible, but you can click and manually edit any form at any time. The check for potential errors and red flags before submittal is automatic. I have used this software product line for the last decade+ and will not change back to the competitor. The license terms permit sharing with relatives and it provides up to five (5) Federal filings without charge. State filings you may wish to print and mail the forms instead of donating money to the vendor to file them. Buy this tax preparation software. It is the only tax preparation software I use or recommend.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
