If I can give software no stars, I would. I never write reviews but I am so frustrated with the state filing portion of this software. I submitted it 3 times after fixing or removing every possible issue but my return has been rejected every single time! I now have to print and mail my state return, which will not be backed by H&R Block since I am mailing it! I will never purchase H&R Block again!!
Easy to follow except Childcare Tax Credit Section

I like this product and for the most part, I did not have any problems using it. There were good explanations. My only issue was with the Childcare Tax Credit. I contribute to a dependent care FSA which shows up on box 10 of my W2. Through the software, I was not prompted to fill in the fields (cost of my child's care, etc) corresponding to Form 2441. The software initially taxed me on my box 10 contributions, which are tax free as they are used to pay my child's daycare. My solution was to look up the corresponding worksheets and forms and manually fill them in so that the fields on Form 2441 were populated correctly. A google search of the problem indicated that this has been a recurrent problem in years past as well. I hope that HR block fixes it for 2017.
Overall very good. I've use this program since 2010. Minor gripe this year is after e-filing with both the Fed and Virginia. It wouldn't provide me with the VA Form 760-PMT. I had to select All Forms. Then when I printed it out it was just a generic "blank" form without my info. I had to hand write our SSNs and address. Obviously worked, but not as automated as this function should have been.
