I have used H&R Block Tax software for 2012. It is affordable, fast, and easy to use. One must always also pay attention to tax law changes, and changes to their own personal situation. The program offers lots of information as you walk through it.
Great user interface; links to explanations, suggestions how to save on taxes. Convenient on-line filing is included, definitely helps getting refunds fast.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for leaving a review, and for providing positive feedback.
The H&R Block software literally has one job, to file your taxes. The servers went down the day before and the day of tax day. This is completely unacceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

(1) Linux versions really needed because Windows is becoming too tedious, complicated and costly, with Microsoft Windows 11 now forcing users to buy newer computers with motherboards that include a TPM 2.0 chip ("Trusted Platform Module") and throw out their previous but still perfectly good computers. Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 next year. After that will H&R Block software continue to work on Windows 10, or will they, like Microsoft, demand that customers buy all new computers to run Windows 11? And what comes after that? Windows 12, 13, 14 etc. on into the future, each new version requiring ever newer computers? Talk about planned obsolescence and lack of concern for the public!
(2) Aside from that, on Windows 10 H&R Block tax software guides you through the near-incomprehensible IRS forms, but confusion can still occur in places like IRA distributions, which in my case called for an obscure form which I'd never heard of and never received. Deciphering it was impossible.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

We've been using H&R Block tax preparation software for six years. The product is simple to use - even for a novice. Year over year, the app is improved. Resolving discrepancies could be easier, but all in all, it's a solid product.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I found the version tedious to use. Lacking clear instructions. You live help was not helpful either.
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been using the services of the H&R Block software for years and I've been very happy every time. I buy the deluxe version and I pay extra to have my state return electronically filed. I received my state refund within 3 days and my federal within 10 days.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
