Better if you've used H&R Block before. It's a shame the area where calculations for retroactive Social Security payment calculations couldn't be done by the software, and referred you to the IRS instructions. I use the software so I DON'T have to refer to the IRS instructions. The software sometimes get hung up in the background calculations and it's very hard to make changes there. Some confusing areas that makes it helpful if you have used the software previously.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The software is relatively easy to use. I purchased the premium product and in the past, I was always able to speak to a person, whether on the phone or via chat, regarding questions that the software didn't answer. This year I was unable to do that. The built in AI tool was just a short step better than a Google search. I found this very disappointing. For this reason, I will probably use a different tool next year.

The premium software did not pick 1099 R's from box 2 where the taxable amount was different from Box 1. I had to manually correct these figures.
Cons: Hard to import documents

Better than doing taxes manually on forms, but still onerous and the software is starting to feel outdated. I wonder how AI can make things easier.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

I have used this program since retiring 8 years ago and it is very easy to follow and use and get responses to questions and have had no filing problems or issues. Very pleased with the program and filing experience.

I am very disappointed in the program. I need a form 1099-Q and there is not there. Very disappointed.
Pros: Easy to prepare
