The Business program is too “legalese” compared to the Premium program. It requires multiple readings to understand what information was required. It was hard to grasp for the first time business owner.
The software failed to assist me with my business rentals in regards to the QBI deduction and aggregation of my rental properties. I purchased the software only to assist me with my rental properties.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Been using it since 2012 and it gets better every year.
I have used H&R Block Premium & Business for 8 years to prepare tax returns for several Trusts as well as my personal taxes. The results have been accurate and the software questions and screens guide me reasonably well through all the forms. I like being able to open different forms in the actual return as I am answering questions in order to understand how my answer will appear in the form. It has allowed me to quickly determine how changes in Trust distributions affect my personal taxes. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because the link for the Distribution Deduction took me in a circle until I overrode an empty linked entry.
The business side of HR block premium is terrible. Turbotax business walks you through it and uses better guidance the HR block. I would not buy the business side ever again. Learn something from Turbotax business on the business side of things. The personal has always been good. My wife was on the phone with multiple different agents literally for 7 hours to get the business errors resolved.
Awkward program. But the worst is that you have to pay for State taxes, and then the State doesn't even accept the high cost software. Kinda makes the software worthless.
Professional straight forward software for tax preparation for most anyone to use. Especially helpful with the hints available for difficult areas of the tax code. Reasonably priced for the value received and the expertise of the software. Support if needed is easy to access.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I continue to use this successfully. I’ve only needed professional help twice in 20 years!
