2019 version buggy and crashes often. Pending after submission for days and no information from Block on the issues.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Failed miserably.

It deleted a former copy of my return and went to a previous version. That was after filing and it stuck at pending for a week. Would never use this software again.
I filed my return on 2/9/20. Due to a problem with your software my return was rejected. Now I have to wait an extra week to get my refund. You should be refunding the purchase price of the software to anyone affected by this. Unacceptable
I’ve used HRB for as long as I can remember. This year was different. It generally takes me 1-2 hours to complete my return. 2018 took me 45 minutes. This year, the software seemed to really be different. It was a little illogical in order and often skipped things I was used to answering. It took me almost 8 hours to ensure I had everything inserted that I have done dozens of years before. I literally had to search through forms this year for the first time to find some things that were skipped. I’m just glad it’s over and uninstalled. I’ll likely continue using it, but developers need to revisit any changes in 2019’s workflow. It was horrible.
Extremely frustrating to install and update. Even with a basic Windows 10 computer, had problems installing from the CD on TWO computers. Finally gave up and downloaded. Now I can't get them to update -- either from the app or by downloading. A very frustrating experience. After seven years with Block software, this will DEFINITELY be my last.
