- 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.

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

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!
