I have used H&R almost exclusively for the last dozen years or so. Lately, the products seem to be getting stripped down. For example, there used to be videos covering various topics - no more. When it offers to explain how it calculated certain entries, it often just gives generic description of that entry. Also, it makes assumptions that are incorrect (rather than asking for a Yes or a No) and then locks in the wrong answer (such as if we live in a school district that collects income taxes - we don't). It's still a good product, but I don't have the confidence in the results that I once did.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

The program for 2023 tax year was not as user friendly as the programs of prior years: less help, fewer instructions, more trial and error until I finally figured out what to do. Still overall satisfied. Taxes done!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
1. It was confusing to buy the correct version of the software when I bought it on-line. 2. The program itself was confusing to use.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good product, trust it's integrations for w-2 and 1099/investment data, trust the accuracy of calculations for deductions and capital gains complexity. This year was not a good one for HRB. The desktop user interface and user experience seem stuck in the nineties. Something I overlook since my priority is accuracy not software look and feel. My code for free e-file wouldn't work, but the support process steps to get it replaced did work and made it just a minor nuisance. The real headache was when the systems for importing data and transmitting e-filed returns began a "nuclear meltdown" in the 36 hours preceding the April 15, 2024 deadline for filing. Those systems eventually came back online with a few hours to spare, but the energy I had to put into strategizing a "plan-B" of mailing paper documents to IRS and state brought me a few more gray hairs.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents
