Lacking the ability to edit and add comments in a form format. The window only driven format is not intuitive. State of South Carolina Return needs to use state line item descriptions and show line item numbers too and or form format not just windows. And be able to enter comments to document entries.
KY State Tax Schedule P mini-worksheet entry issue

I have used TaxCut or HR Block home software since 1994. This is the first year I have had problems with the software. The KY State software after the accuracy check is wanting an entry in the miniworksheet that does not belong. This is flagged as an issue during the accuracy check, Then it is wanting my pension payee in the table for the form entry. I tried numerous ways to work around or override it and it just causes more problems to appear. The Issue is an entry is wanted on the KY Schedule P, line 1b-B (Yourself). It should not require an entry since my pension is pre-1998. I retired in 1994. Also it should not require the entry on the form for Married filing Separately on the Combined form return since my pension income is less that the $31110. No entry should be required in that worksheet for me. The program carried the proper entry to the Schedule M in the proper place. Last year it didn't have an issue with this. I was unable to E-File this year due to this error in the software.
H&R Block has proven year after year to be excellent software for completing and submitting yearly tax forms. It has consistently proven easy and effective.
Ive been using this software since 2008. Ive enjoyed the ease of use in the past. This year was different. It was difficult to connect to their server. This problem caused program to stop working in the state mode. It was unable to download the software in order to use this portion. The federal softwore worked OK, but wouldnt update because of the server problem. The program fell far.short of past experience with it. Gotta be honest and say that i dont trust it enough to use it in the future.
Worst tax software I Evy used. Needs a lot of work.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I want to file tonight, but I must wait for an update. If I filed last week I could have, but I needed to wait for my bank to post files and now I can't file.
