I've used several other tax software over the years to file my personal and business taxes. HR Block Premium has been the easiest to comprehend explanations of various situations and complete. I highly recommend it.

I have been using H&R Block software to do my taxes for many years and have always found it to be accurate, easy to use and very efficient. This year, unfortunately, I experienced what I'll call a glitch in the interview that caused me to have to duplicate a lot of my work. My 25 year old daughter lived with us for more than half the year so I assumed she qualified as a dependent and completed my return accordingly. When I got ready to file, however, the program's automatic review indicated that if she made more than $4,050 that year (which she did) she would not qualify as a dependent. I feel like this issue should have been raised automatically by the interview when I attempted to claim her in the first place.
This is great if you're a W2 person with maybe a few itemized deductions. But, if you have anything complicated like an annuity lump sum distribution that qualifies for 4972 treatment, you can't get any help when the program doesn't carryover the tax on that correctly.
The H&R Block 2017 software did not allow me to claim one of my eligible children as a child tax credit, therefore forcing me to print and mail my return.
