B&R Block has dropped features.

I've used this Basic software for years and have always been satisfied with it. This year, after downloading and hours into my return, discovered that it no longer supported Schedule D, Capital gains, losses and carryovers from my modest investment account. Pop-up informed that I now needed the more expensive Premium version to do this. I was very unhappy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Package Except One Issue

I've been using this tax software package since it was originally known as TaxCut (on an Atari 800 computer in the 80's)--so, for Lots of years. It's easy to understand and follow with lots of helpful information.
I gave it 4 stars because when I finished my return, I came to a screen allowing me to 'Backup' and 'Save as PDF' my return. The Backup went just fine, but I could not 'Save as PDF' unless I installed some PDF software. No Thank You.
Windows has 'Print to PDF' as a default printing option. So... why am I not allowed to use that?

ONE GLICH IF YOU ARE A NEW YORKER

The only problem that I found, and I had to call NYS to figure it out, is this year you have to list your driver's license information. The form wants a document number, but the software didn't help me understand what was required. There are document numbers on your license, but no where on the license does it say document number. Also it won't import from RBC
Cons: Hard to import
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great

Great product used for many years. But - I dislike very much there is no built-in PDF maker and the PDF995 takes me to an unknown website that is based on selling me a PDF maker and what is worse the PDF995 web site hijacked my print setup and put PDF995 as the default printer. Very bad. It takes away from my positive experience with HRBlock. HRBlock should include a PDF maker in their SW packages.
I would recommend this to a friend!
