I've used this software for years and am mostly satisfied. It can be a bit wonky if you skip around at all. The cost to file a state return is ridiculous, and even worse is to use your federal refund to pay for it. Not sure why they even include it as an option.
Pros: Easy to prepare

I got the SW when it was on sale and it was a great value. It makes the whole process of getting all the relevant information from prior year and e-filing very easy. For some reason the SW seemed to take much longer than before to load but once loaded it was fine.

Rob, we’re so happy to hear you had a great experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback.
Your "AI Help" and your Chat bot were completely unable to answer a very basic question I had while working through the survey. Unless you have live support in future years, I will not buy your program again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used H&R several years now. The program is complete and the interview process makes it easy. The automated audit feature double checks you, so nothing is forgotten or overlooked.
