Purchased & downloaded online. I have used H&R Block software for several years now... It's pretty easy to use since I've used it for a while... Basically just fill in the #'s from your tax forms into proper locations... That's pretty much it... Then finalize it, then transmit data to IRS.. Refund only took about a week or so...I do the state & mail it in... My preference... But it all works out..
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

First, it appears that Block is trying to push users to switch to its online software. They're not sending past users like me reminders to download the desktop program, and their web site makes it very difficult to find the downloadable software. Personally, I don't want to do my taxes "in the cloud," as that reduces my control over my personal data.
Once I finally found the download link the filing process proceeded as usual -- fast and easy -- with one exception. When I'd completed filling out all the forms, the program transmitted the federal return to the IRS electronically, just like it's supposed to do, but told me it couldn't send the state return, because my wife had died last year, and it wasn't capable of filing a state return for a deceased filer. If you have lost a spouse, be aware of this shortcoming.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast

My wife and I have used H&R Block tax software for many years. Attempted to use another tax software a few years ago but came back due to the excellent questionnaire that guides you through the process. We will continue to use this software!

I had a difficult time downloading the program…I called help desk for help…I was on the phone for 45 minutes, the rep couldn’t help me…I finally was able to download program by trial and error…The problem was that I couldn’t find the .dmg file…It would be nice if the program would tell you where to locate the the file..Never had trouble when you provided a disc…Hope next year is easier…If not I might have to switch after so many years with your program…Thank you
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product provides everything I need for filing my federal & state taxes. I've been using H&R Block tax prep software for almost a decade. One issue I have is that the help should be more detailed and include specific examples if possible.
