I've used the software for years thinking if I ever needed help with my taxes it was just a message away. Well I finally needed help and when I asked for it I was told that was not part of the service I had purchased. What part of help was the add talking about if not help with my taxes? This is the last straw and I will not be using this program again.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This year in addition to an RMD withdrawal, I had two regular withdrawals from my Deferred Comp Plan. My 1099-R did not make a distinction as to the type of withdrawal. Your instruction regarding Excess Accumulation was unclear and proceeding through the interview was confusing. It seemed as if I had to do Form 4972. The IRS instructions made it clear that I didn't have to, Still Five Stars.

We’re so happy to hear you had a great experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
I have used Block tax software for many, many years and found it to be easy except for one thing. When I get to state return, I have difficulty remembering how to enter dividends from US obligations. After research and searching my federal return I eventually remember that the answer is hidden in my federal return. You can improve that.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

It was difficult to use and the "helps" were generic and very much unhelpful.
Cons: Time consuming

The software did what it intended but the price is awfully high.

The software filled unnecessary forms and I had to delete a few. And there were some which I couldn't delete. Plus I had to pay for efiling which was not mentioned when I bought the software.
