I've been using H&R Block tax software for about 20 years. It freed me from the difficulty of trying to manually erase entries from the printed government forms. I have not tried other tax software, so I can't compare them, but I am satisfied with the HRB software and see no reason to try any other.
I have used H & R Block for probably over 10 years, if not more. It has always been VERY easy to use, goes through the whole filing process with questions and answers. We have a small business and use to have rental property, and it takes care of ALL the pertinent information needed for both. At the end I click the send button, and it is accepted at the IRS every time. Never been audited either. The next year it carries forward all of out past year information, auto fills in all personal information, and goes through it all again. I HIGHLY recommend this software for anyone.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Overall, I'm pleased with the product. My one criticism is that it doesn't handle my 1099-MISC entries well. In my case it's oil and gas royalties. During the audit check, the software seems to check for information that is missing from the documents I've received, and I have to guess at "copy" numbers that the program presents to me in order to complete the audit clearing; it usually takes more than one pass to accomplish this. H&R Block should fix this bug.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Weak Data Transfer-Previous Year To Current Year

I imported 2018 HR Block data for 2019 and get a data validation during the accuracy check. Why would it ask for 2018 data when I imported all of 2018 to start 2019?
I have been using this software for years. It's so easy!

Good tax software but useless for American living abroad like my daughter, can't fill out correct foreign address, zip code, can't e-file with a foreign address.
