H&R Block income tax software is reliable, straightforward, and easy to use. In addition, this company provides excellent assistance when needed. I would recommend it to everyone!
The software premium that I used this year could not do a 1041 which was necessary and in addition, it could not do an adjusted basis on stock and bond sales.
I have relied on H&R Block for twenty years or so. Its learning curve is gentle, aided by built-in guides and links. For me the most challenging task is getting all of my documents, especially income, deductions, and home office expenditures collected and organized, for which I create an Excel spreadsheet. The H&R B app carries over the previous year's information, so each year amounts simply to entering and/or editing numbers, and pressing "go" after each step. Highly recommended.
Almost impossible to read on a high resolution screen. HRB needs to work out the technology that allows a user to zoom in and actually read the text on this software. I shouldn't have to change my 'system setup' for one program that is so blamed inflexible as is this one.
Actually, my father uses HR Block SW every year for 30+ years. Was TAXCUT. Only issues stem from any need to report K1 results. Otherwise SW is user friendly. Years of experience do not hurt.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

GOOD FEATURES, but form 8888 needs work

As mentioned in another comment, form 8888 needs work. I spent hours between last night and today trying to format I-Bonds and cash refunds to my checking and my wife's checking. I finally gave up and used just my checking. All of your cross checks were totally confusing. When I would try bonds and both of our checking accounts, the total would exceed the amount of the refund. Something is absurdly wrong on your code for what should be a simple task that I could do on paper in 4 minutes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
