The software was great, but he H&R Block website automatically sets you up with the online submission. It was not intuitive, and I finally went off site to download the standalone, recognizable one. It is much easier to use.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

The interface was great but my e-file was created 3 times because the software kept opting out to upload my 1095-C. I had to paper file.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

- Too many software bugs (data not transferring or accuracy check not seeing that data transferred) - Accuracy check does not always take you to the form, and the line item, so finding and fixing the error is an Easter Egg hunt - Transfer of data to state forms was frequently missing information - Some error messages were written in legalistic tax code, with no decoder ring, requiring a phone call to resolve. - Block does not have the ability to remote in and simply fix complex issues, which is a major shortcoming.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

H & R Block Premium is the best tax software on the market! I have used it for several years now. It is easy to navigate and offers advice and help throughout the entire program. Also, being able to E-file or print and mail is a plus!

I had trouble entering the 1095a information. Otherwise it works well. There was an error on the state code which was clearly NJ. I deleted and reentered the code but still it didn't work. I finally deleted the whole 1095a section and reentered it, and it worked

After an update, I was unable to open my return because the software couldnt see my state return which I had downloaded. I lost all my data and had to redo my return. Plus I had to buy another copy of the state return because it wouldnt allow me to re download the state return for free which should have been the case. The HR Block help features were of no use and offered no way to work around the problem. Im done with this company
