The software worked very well for me. As a former TurboTax user for many years, I was super pleased with how seamlessly the HRB software went back into my 2018 TT file and pulled stuff forward, greatly reducing the amount of input I had to do. When my itemized deductions came up only $700 less than the standard deduction, the HRB sorftware gave me a very short but quite useful tutorial about how to time future charitable contributions, possibly uninsured medical or dental expenses, etc., so that i Might possibly exceed the standard deduction in the future. Nice. There were just a couple of spots where I was not sure what the software wanted me to do next, so I had to experiment with my entry. But it was not a deal breaker for the future.
This product is very easy to use. The interview process leads you through all the forms and leaves you feeling confident they are complete and correct.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents

It works well, however, as with any financial program you must be very careful to be very accurate and to have a complete set of forms from your job and your interest and dividends. In addition keep a record of your deductions.I found the best was was to begin a file labeled 2019 in January. I pay some property taxes early in the year so it ready for receipts. Deposit your receipts when you get them.
I was a 30 year tax preparer for HRB. 2019 is the worst I’ve experienced. Missing inputs and terrible diagnostics. A person using this software would have to be tax knowledgeable.
It was intuitive. I gave it 4 stars as I had to wait for lot of forms to be updated. However, the overall process was smooth and that is the reason I have been using H&R for a long time. I could go over many scenarios, which helped me take the best option.
Used HRB and whatever it’s previous name for about 17 years for both business and personal tax returns. No business now but still using for personal. It’s familiar, organized and straight forward. Yes, I’d recommend.
