Generally very accurate and easy to use.

I have used H&R Block Premium for a number of years now, and have been satisfied with the accuracy of the calculations and the ease of use. My only real negative to report this year is that the new "save to pdf" function is not explained well. I gave up after several tries and simply saved to a flash drive, which is only good as long as the original program is still installed on my computer. I hope that they fix that issue for 2019. Other than that, I'd recommend this for people with moderately complex tax returns.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tiny and fixed font size challenging for seniors
on March 18, 2019
Posted by: Sheau
from Wayland MA
I've been using H&R Block software for decades. But as my eye sight worsens with my age (I'm 60), the font size on this software has remain unchanged, and unchangeable. It therefore starts to feel outdated, compared to other more senior-friendly softwares.
My plea to H&R Block is: either increase the font sizes (as screen resolutions increase) or allow users some options to choose font sizes (S-M-L). Or risk losing one customer next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to use

from Colorado
I have used H&R Block for many years, it imports last year's return and filled in all the repeated data automatically. I only need to fill in any specific data for the current year. Online help is very helpful, forms can be edited to fix any error at the end. I really like it! The only thing missing from Colorado state is form 0617. H&R Block can include all those forms in the future release.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible at handling MSA Form 8853
on March 19, 2019
Posted by: Excalibur
from Elkhart Lake, WI
I was always told that I cannot file electronically because both my wife and I are required to provide separate 8853 Forms. I filled in info in the questionaire for each of us, yet the program is only showing one 8853 with NO data entered in Section B. You program is also telling me I can file electronically. I am not going to do that.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Harder than last year
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: None123456789
from Houston, TX
I have been using HRBlock at home for over 10 years. This year I had a lot of trouble with the real estate rental income. This was not new for this year and it didn't import the information from 2017. I finally had to delete everything regarding this and completely start over. This is the first time I have had any trouble with the program. I also worked at HR Block as a tax professional for 10 years before I started using the program at home. Was disappointed in the trouble I had this year. I realize everything underwent a dramatic change this year but that was done early in the year so you should have had plenty of time to rewrite these programs.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

2018 Tax Program Very Good As Expected
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: sacdon
from Sacramento CA
The 2018 program worked fine, despite the massive changes to the tax code and the IRS forms. I found a couple of non-critical issues that I could work around with minimal effort.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
