Great for simple returns. Anything out of the ordinary you get referred to read a publication from the irs website. With “premium” it seems like it should cover just about everything.
Unless you have tax experience or EXTREMELY simple taxes - this is not good software. It's basically a form filler, not an actual interview/tax prep IMHO. I found it very clunky and did not enjoy using it, i'll happily go back to paying a CPA next year.
Completed my return and saved it so I could gather the personal information needed for the electronic submission like driver's license and bank account info. When I returned to the program and tried to access my return, the software said the file was not accessible. What a nightmare!!! The program recommended I check and install updates, and then try to access the file. Of course that did not work, and I had to start the filing process all over again including having to reinstall the state program. This was not the first glitch I experienced with the 2019 software. Also had a similar problem with the business software losing a filing and having to completely start over -- what a massive waste of my time and effort. The 2019 has been nothing but problematic and will cause me to switch to Turbo-Tax for 2020
I have used this tax program for 3 years and counting. It is easy and very thorough. Great job H&R Block for developing such an awesome product for those who choose to do their own taxes!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

The business software is okay. Not at all intuitive. But the price is right. I have small business (S Corp), and it is very straight forward. The H&R Business software includes the Prem. personal (Fed and State) tax software. Once you understand how to navigate it is excellent.
