Verified Purchase:Yes
H&R Block software is getting more complicated and difficult to use and understand every year. I am not an accountant, and I need tax software that is simple and easy to use.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought H&R Block Deluxe (Federal & State) Software in CY 2010 when my loving wife, Joanne and I purchased our home. I have relied on it since and never had any issues.
I lost Joanne in June 2024 and this led to complications in filing. I was able to file Federally but was informed that your software could not file for a deceased person in CT. I could file if I could change the answer to a Federal interview question (FIQ) but had already filed Federal and I suppose that was the reason why I could not change the FIQ. Therefore; I would have to file a paper return which I did but was not in favor of doing so due to uncertainties of various schedules and other complexities.
If I have any issues with the State of Connecticut, I will be in touch, but in the fifteen years that I have used your software, that is the only issue that I have noticed.
Best regards, Glenn

It has been since the 80s that I took a tax class in college so my skills are rusty. I depend on the software to figure out how to properly enter my info. Some of the questions are beyond my understanding. I replaced my roof in 2024 and trying to understand what I could do was next to impossible. I think I did it correctly but I woukd think finding rhe right thing to do would be clearer.
Pros: Easy to import documents

Federal software is very good and complete. The NY state software has multiple sections where you have to click whole form and manually complete the forms. No links to the NYS instructions.
