The only issue I had with the program was when it would not let me e-file a federal return that had income reported on a W2 from the state of Washington. The W2 listed the state as "WA" but did not list a state id # since Washington has no state tax. I never figured out how to override this issue so I just mailed the hard copy of the tax return in. This will cause a delay in the federal refund which is a pain in the butt.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

Thank you for taking time to provide a rating! We're happy to see that you had a fantastic experience. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you again next tax season!
It's a great product. I have purchased it for many years and hope to continue to do so. There are only a few things keeping me from 5 stars. Every year it seems there are a few questions that I don't think it answers completely. Also when doing the final accuracy checks it asks me to fill in missed input directly on the forms. I never understand why and would have preferred the prompts ask me while going through the normal steps. It gives me the feeling I did something wrong and have to 'fix' it.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
After completing my form, I ran the proof scanner. It said that I needed to enter a country for some of my foreign income from mutual funds. The proper reply is RIC but I could not enter it easily. I spent a great deal of time over several days and finally re-did the interview to fix it. The other complaint is with the next years estimated taxes. Why do I need to guess at all the different income sources for the next year when you could just base it on the income (taxes) I just prepared?
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

Turbo Tax now requires Windows 11, so I was lucky that Block worked with Windows 10. The program is in some ways better and some ways worse than Turbo Tax. Definitely more awkward to use. They have some bugs they need to work out.
