I used to use TurboTax Basic, but became dissatisfied when it no longer supported itemized deductions. I've used H&R Block Basic tax software for years now and have had a very good experience with it. Using an interview type format, it walks you through your return and answers all your questions along the way. I had one question this year that I could not find the answer to, called the support number, and was called back quickly by an advisor that answered the question. I'm very pleased with the H&R Block Basic software and highly recommend it.
I've been using this tax program for years. It is easy and user friendly. Accurate and easily accepted by the IRS. I won't use any other tax software. Well worth the price.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
There was a calculation error in the program. I explained it to them and they set up a case but never responded and never corrected it. I had to use another program or over write the error but then I would have had to mail in the return. I used another program to get corrected numbers.
Good software, just be careful what you are buying

The H&R Block Basic software does a good job of figuring out and submitting your taxes. I've used it for several years now without any problems. Just be careful what you buy. Somehow, when I went to purchase it I got into a page that gave me last years software when I thought I was getting a good deal. I had to purchase again the correct software for 2022. If the page you purchase from doesn't list the year, don't buy it there!
