Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast
I've used HRB for over 25 years and like it "better" than TurboTax BUT, there are MAJOR issues that they need to resolve to highly recommend it. They are: Pricey State modules after the first. Many taxpayers have to file 2 state returns (work in PA and Live in NJ or Work in NY and live in NJ. The extra state software often costs as much as the original Fed and State package.
They eliminated the report that printed out comparison of current and prior year. This was helpful to find errors. Not sure why it was eliminated
For TWO years in a row the filing due dates for the Pennsylvania Estimated returns were wrong. In 2016 PA-ES they used 2015 dates and for 2017 PA est. they used 2016 dates.
