I've been using H&R Block Software for nearly 10 years now and it seems to work well. However, I think the descriptions of specific words or requirements in parts of the tax form could be better utilized. There are things that it will question you on but has no explanation of what it even is or even a reference to find out more info on the topic. I had to use a significant amount of Google and AI to find out just what the questions were even talking about becasue the info was not available in the program. I felt it took too long to accomplish a relatively straight forward tax return becasue of the wording and lack of descriptions.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Doesn’t have explanations for items that really need explaining (like what value a question is referring to). Stepping through the actual tax form would be easier to understand. I also have no idea why this year had a desktop download where the previous 2 years forced me to use the web software. I’ve been using H&R software for 10+ years but I’ll be switching to a different product next year.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Previous TurboTax user. I liked some of the HRBlock features, but found other features quite different. Over all, it’s probably a toss up.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to prepare

I like the software in general, but find it very difficult to save files as pdf, using the PDF995 Virtual Printer.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Fast
