I've been using HR Block for 25 years. It's OK and does the job but then I do not have complicated taxes. I can now use free online federal IRS web sites but still used Block. The refund was the same when testing. I use NJ free file online and compare it with Block. This line about SS or railroad retirement has been in the program for years and should be fixed: "Would you be receiving or ever be able to receive this type of benefit had you ever participated in either program?" There is something wrong with that sentence.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

I paid the IRS what the program indicated I owed and three weeks later, the IRS sent me a bill for more taxes due. This is the first time the product has made an error that cost me more money.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund

Format was pretty easy to follow and not too difficult to apply what numbers and data you needed. Honestly I would've probably still used Turbotax but they opted to not allow anymore usage of Windows10 so I was not buying a new hard drive just to do my taxes so I switched to H&R Block.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents

There were confusing and misleading prompts and explanations how to report income in more than one state on the Illinois state program, but we had no issues with the Federal program and got that refund quickly after e-file. The after-hours FAQ and chat were not user friendly.

Never used tax software before so it was all new to me. As any available tax software would be. After I figured out how to navigate the software it worked fine. There was an issue that occurred that I had to call about. The call went well and wasn’t overly burdensome, she researched the problem and was able to resolve it right then. Filing electronically was simple! As long as I don’t hear anything from the IRS I’m good. Will most likely use again next year now that I can navigate it.
