I've used H&R Block Deluxe software for 10+ years, and find that it's accurate and fairly easy to use. Though generally satisfied, several enhancements would improve the software. First, the ability to print returns using both sides of paper would reduce waste. Second, answers for some topics don't provide enough depth to allow preparers to understand; more detailed explanations with links to IRS publications would prove helpful. Although H&R Block does an excellent job of tracking new legislation and providing updates as tax regulations change, the software itself could be more robust and user-friendly. The general framework doesn't appear to have been upgraded since I started using it in 2002. It's "stale" and could be improved without losing compatibility with prior-year returns.
I had to cancel the first 2 and get refunded as the California return would not download. H$R finally gave me a link workaround to get it to download. Very frustrating and time consuming. It also doesn’t cover very well military tax requirements .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this software for years. I get the same consistent performance and results. I have referred to others and helped others with theirs. Guess which one I will be using next year. Yep, you guessed it.
I have used the Deluxe program for my taxes for ten years or more with confidence. I once tried to use your competitor’s Deluxe tax program several years ago only to discover that their Deluxe program would not cover the same tax areas without prompting me that I must upgrade to the next higher Premium tax program in order to calculate Rentals and Royalties So, I then came back to H&R block Deluxe — a simple to use program having great value.
Pros: Easy to import documents, Fast
