I still find that some data is not always carried to the actual forms even when you put all the data into the interview portion of the program. Means I really have to actually know more than I like about taxes and review each form to make sure that a claimed and entered deduction actually carries to the tax form and then computes across the series of forms.
H&R like other firms looking for accolades is asking if I would recommend this product, I do not. However, I will tell someone who asks what I like and dislike about the product, but I am not going out on a limb and push the product to them.
Overall this is a good product but since I unfortunately owed a small penalty I had to wait for Block to update the SW....but multiple updates came and they still didn't have that piece complete. After waiting over 6 weeks, I finally gave up and selected let the IRS compute the penalty. Over the past several years my impression is that if you have 100 straight forward return this works great, if not, this tool is frustrating.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve used this software for eight years now and find it fairly easy to use. I must say, however, that a basic understanding of how individual tax preparation works will make it even easier. I am retired from IRS, and my experience helps.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used this product for several years. This year the program required several updates and the updates were not available as quickly as they used to be. I still like the product but that did cause a delay in getting taxes completed
