As a customer of the PC version of the software for over 20 years, the electronic filing screwup on April 14/15, forcing paper extensions to be filed and delayed refunds made me believe that Block is no longer equipped to handle getting taxes filed timely.
Junk for 2023 tax year filing.
Pros: Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Had the software updated when I started. Kept the same session running a few days while working on my personal return before it was ready for filing. When I attempted to file the return, it appeared to start but with a pending status. After waiting for a few hours, assumed the pending status was due to sending outside of IRS working hours. Did not shut down and checked a few days later which was after raffle deadline, only to find it did not send and multiple attempts to send failed without error warning. Finally shut down and realized an update was required. I'm now being fined for late filing. So disappointed. A simple error warning for update required would have prevented this.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast

The software and UI are intuitive but the way you must navigate the extra forms is frustrating. And, no matter the effectiveness of the software, it is challenged by an overly complex tax code.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund

I will rate the Business Tax software first. The biggest problem with business tax software '23 is that you don't have to say where is return saved. I filled CorpS return and I had to file it the last day. I was hoping to do that electronically but that is when software broke. It started to shut down and I don't even know where the return is saved so I could reinstall the software. There was no time to do anything. Even when I tried to print it as PDF would shut down the software. Disaster. I will rethink using that software in future for Business tax. Personal one '23 was OK. It did what it should. Filed return electronically and everything was fine.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
