Difficult to navigate certain topics…specifically 401k contributions from K1 form. Couldn’t use electronic file as it was too difficult to resolve issues…didn’t pin point the corrections.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare

Less Useful for More Complex Returns

Long time user of this tax software. As the years have gone by, and tax returns have gotten more complex, the software is less and less useful. More messages to the effect of "this is a complicated thing and you're going to need to figure out yourself where to put this". Seriously? That's why I buy this software. This year the simplest thing possible didn't work correctly in transferring my info. to the state return (inclusion of my tax exempt income). It's always worked before, so I was floored when it didn't transfer automatically. Good thing I always review everything carefully.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was able to get the software in December, use it to make a good guess on how much of a Roth rollover I could do, and not pay any extra taxes.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Any new program takes some time to get used to it. I felt very comfortable with it after one hour. One weakness is that when going through the final steps and they want my nick name, I could not use my name because someone else dared to use my name.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Difficult to find the entry location for data that will make a desired change or entry. Attempting to enter directly on the form results in "answer the questions and let the software determine where to enter". Will not allow efile of past year returns and falsely declares that IRS will not accept past year efiles. IRS accepts efiles for the three prior years. H&R has just decided not to transmit them. Required Forms are not always included. 7203 which is required for income from S corporations is not included. This form does not require information that must be obtained from the 1040 return so could be sent to IRS as a pdf attachment. IRS accepts these attachments but again H&R has elected to not accept or transfer attachments.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
