As an experienced tax pro with Block I found it easy to navigate I was able to make it do what I wanted until I got to the Minnesota return. It automatically gave me a credit that I wasn’t qualified for and there was no way to correct it.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business, and thank you for the valuable feedback!
The Premium federal and state is excellent and I've been using it for years. The interview is excellent, the informational links are excellent, e-filing is excellent. However the Business software has many problems and after many years of trying with it I won't be purchasing it again. I just do simple trust returns and K-1's. The program will never import the prior year's return. The interview is rudimentary at best and inadequate in answering new issues without a lot of work going to external sources. and this year there were so many mistakes when I allowed the program to prepare DNI, accounting income and the K-1 that I ended up purchasing TaxAct On-Line for Estates and Trusts to prepare my trust return.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

This is the fourth year of using this software package after having used a professional level tax preparation package for over 25 years. I like the clean interface, but miss having the option of having an interactive review mode when getting ready to electronically file the income tax return. What I mean by this, is being able to drill down and make corrections. I do use the review features prior to filing, but being able to get to the input data more directly is what I miss. Other than this, I believe this is a great product.

Been using the program for years and for someone picking it up and trying I would not recommend. You have to know the product and the curves it gives you year after year. Not to mention I have returns that require the NJ state return and while I understand it’s required to submit through NJ, why can HR at least offer a template of what to expect.
Cons: Time consuming

The business program blew up about 10 times and had to be reinstalled each time. In my final attempt I got it to work but it wouldn't print. I had to copy forms by hand. I think there was a printer update which i installed around the 7th or 8th iteration of the program. Note too that i didn't know what was going on so I downloaded the program (I think 5 times) trying to get it to work and was then informed that I had used up my downloads. (If I'm crazy enough to use this program next year, you owe me a freebie. I might just give it to my neighbor--I don't like him very much.) PS I am using Windows 10.
