First, didn't allow to claim deduction on mini split that I had installed. Second, it lead to an IRS withdrawal both on my original tax filing and on my amended return. Waiting to get a refund on the original amount that was withdrawn. I've used HR block for taxes for probably 10 years but may experiment with something else next year.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare

Overall, the Premium version is OK'. There is a missing function of downloading stocks and options transactions from the brokerages, which is a big inconvenience for anybody, who has to deal with it.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been successfully using this product since 1994. It has helped me uncover deductions that I never knew existed. It imports data perfectly from the previous tax year. It has earned its #1 rating in Consumer Reports.
Pros: Maximizes refund

I withdrew some money from my retirement in 2025. The questions in the state return about distributions were very confusing, and I wasn't sure what amounts to enter in the fields. I wanted to get my tax returns done as soon as possible, so I didn't want to bother spending more time trying to get assistance on the issue.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

I purchased this thinking it would making doing your taxes easier however, it's more likely to herd one into a certain tax bracket and charge you to file the state portion even though you paid for federal and state product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have used this for over 15 years for 2-income. one self-employed, home office, homeowner, business vehicle, lots of detail. It has been reliable and helpful. But you need to bring back the Filing Status Calculator, which helps me compute the split of refund among husband, wife, and joint account.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
