Software still has a long way to go... has not changed in over 20 years. Some info filled in for Federal does not transfer to State or Local forms, requiring repeat entries. Some tax forms the software will not fill out for you and will ask you to download and fill out manually. Other times, forms which have no information but were left over from previous years would not delete properly, causing the software checking routines to fail and preventing filing the return. Software also did not carry forward last year's refund amounts credited to this year, meaning I overpaid and had to rely on the tax auditors to find the mistake. Finally, account information for banking and brokerage accounts are not carried forward from year to year even though institution names are, but you are left guessing what accounts you need to enter information for. I almost bought Turbo Tax this past year instead of Block, but figured by now I am used to all the bugs and annoyances of the software.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i bought this and it's good product. What need to improve is allow the file when you view you can't see it bigger and it's just stock. It would be very helpful is you have the option to enlarge and make it easier to view on your laptop.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming

Overall, the software was well designed and easy to use for most parts. But I strongly hope the developer to add more detailed explanations to terminologies, especially those not so commonly used. Misunderstanding of the concept will cause big problems for the users. It could mean wrong reports and calculations or even penalties from the IRS. Please help us the avoid any mistakes.
The developer could consider enhancing the features needed for the tax fillers who have incomes from overseas.
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’ve been using the H&R tax software premium since it was tax cut. They do a decent job on the federal taxes but I love jn California and the state taxes leave a lot to be desired. The adjustments from federal to state are mostly whole form type entry the interviews suck to know what you need to adjust. It requires you to print off federal forms to input data from them into adjustment forms to figure out what to do. This is a really weak area In the process and should be addressed
Cons: Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!
