Buggy 2 Years in a row

Overall the program is solid- I've been using it for years because it's cheaper than Turbotax. However, for the second year in a row, the update feature DID NOT WORK from within the program. I had to go to the website & download the updates manually, which isn't super easy, because finding the right site takes some doing. Also, the State program refused to install from within the main program. I had to contact Technical Support and be sent a link to download & install it.
I have been using HRB's software since before it was "HRB," but rather "TaxCut." I loved it from day one. I have used several different tax software programs over the years while helping friends and family members with their tax returns, plus I actually worked as a tax preparer for HR Block a few years. I may use other companies' products for those I help, but for my own returns and those of my sons', I choose Block. It is the easiest and most comprehensive tax software available to 'laymen.'
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I'm very pleased with the ease of use of this tax return software. I had been a long-term user of another software and was nervous about switching. I found the transition extremely simple. H&R Block software successfully used my tax information from the previous product.
Wish I was a CPA. This is not a product for a first-time user of a tax prep software program. Very time consuming. I thought it would be simply a matter of filling in the blocks - glad that I had already done a paper copy of the return and was able to verify my own calculations. Of course, the "new" 1040 and Schedules didn't make it any simpler.
This is my fourth or fifth year to use the Premium

EVERY THING WAS WELL THOUGH OUT AND WENT VERY SMOOTHLY. I HAVE USED THIS SOFTWARE FOR 4 OR 5 YEARS NOW AND WAS WELL PREPARED TO WORK WITH THIS INTUITIVE AND MOOTH RUNNING SOFTWARE....DID NOT HAVE TO CONTACT HR BLOCK ASSISTANCE AT ALL THIS TIME.
