Been using this for a number of years now and some of the same problems persist. 1. Trying to do royalties from a 1099-misc is very confusing. The program is mostly designed to handle rental income and the royalty topic is not at all clear. 2. Doing Ohio taxes and following the program regarding a possible credit for excess medical expenses will give an incorrect result unless you open the whole form and follow what the line instructions says there.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I used the premium software for the last 17 years. I found it easy to use for 95% of the time. Wish some of the interviews were more clear or easy to understand. First time I did RMD search section can find the item. I took RMD plus extra to convert to ROTH IRA very little info on the interview or online help. I finally had to do trial and error during interview to get it correct. Need to improve or I will consider switching to turbo.
Cons: Time consuming

I was happy with the ease of the forms, but I was not happy about being charged 3 times for e-filing.

The interface of HR Block is a bit dated compared to the competition. If there is an issue with something on my tax returns, there should be a link directing me to it everytime (like the competition). A "5 star experience" would be that I do not have to follow instructions to go through menu's to find the issue. The wording on the questions for the HSA tax benefit were a bit confusing at first where it didn't apply the tax credit correctly the first time. The 529 tax credit option could be better with stated contribution and number of children flagging if the tax credit doesn't get applied. If you have two children and have contributions 8k or under, it should give questioning of how much per child.
Cons: Hard to import documents

Tax software worked fine till I had an error. Had to start a new return from the beginning to correct my mistake. Needs some work. Also ended up having to pay for it twice. I’m done but not happy.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare

I have been using TaxCut Premium for many years and this year’s version was as good as ever for the federal return. I just wish the state version (PA) was better, especially by including the underpayment penalty exceptions and computations. That always takes a tremendous amount of time to do manually and prevents e-filing the state return.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
