I've been using this tax software for more than a decade and have usually been satisfied. Not this year. After prepping my taxes and clicking the button to e-file, your software decided it needed to do another update. In the process of doing this, you took my free e-file code and used it, but didn't file my taxes. After the update when I tried to e-file, it said my code had already been used. It had not since the e-file didn't go through because of the software update. I had to pay a separate fee to e-file. Maybe next year we try TurboTax.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am a first time user of H&R Block having always used Turbo Tax. A lot of my review will be a comparison to Turbo Tax which will be valuable to you. First you are priced right. That is what drove me to you. Turbo Tax is way overpriced. I really appreciated the very short time it takes your program to update. It is such a winner over Turbo Tax in that area which takes forever. You have a great system to jump from one work area to another. I like that. Where you could use improvement: Mainly in the visual presentation. It is very plain with small print. Dress it up and enlarge the print. Make it more attractive. Right now it looks more like an accountant's program.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using H & R Block tax software for years and keep going back to it because it is so user friendly. I am a real estate agent so considered self-employed. Once you enter your profession, it guides you through all of the deductions a real estate agent may possibly have. Very helpful

I would never be able to do my taxes without a software program. I've used H&R Block for many years. I always have a lot of questions along the way, and I'm satisfied with the answers.

H& R program is Compatible with win10 and turbo tax online version sucks ( only turbo tax available) . Ive used turbo tax for the last 7 years. This year I bought turbo again and almost completed my fairly basic tax return when it would go no further and demanded more money to upgrade even though advertise to work with my tax situation. Turbo tax appears to demand upgrade on several occasions fur me to finish the return. I found it cheaper and better just to ditch turbo tax and go with H&R. No issues on download, no issues in return completion. Turbo Tax lost me as a customer and I will never return. H&R, your now my goto for tax returns. Based upon other complaints with turbo tax, my issue not uncommon.
Pros: Easy to import documents
