I purchased as soon as available. Did not use until we received final documents (or notice thereof). Been using since the days it was Tax Cut. This year's version does have a few bugs but considering they have had to virtually rewrite the software, that's to be expected... and, they were easy to work through.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Have been using H&R for about 9 years now. This year the software seemed very hard to navigate if I had to go back and fill something in on a background form. I also thought some of the explanations weren't as complete. Overall, it just didn't 'feel' as good.
Contains features for handling foreign income for bona fide residents of foreign countries. Does not have the capability to cope with a spouse who does not have a SSN. Of course, non US citizens don't have one but it seems logical than anyone filing married and having foreign bona fide residence might just be married to someone without an SSN. Overall, does not deal well with expatriate filers.
The 2018 Deluxe version has a MAJOR math error on line 9 of form 2210 that prevented my return this year from being accepted by IRS. Wasted a LOT of time trying to research the complex rejection codes provided. SOME did not provide and explaination without calling/chatting w/ Customer Support -
This software package is exstremely user friendly. I’ll continue to use H&R Block tax software. You may pay a small fee but it’s worth every penny. State return is also excellent. Completely satisfied.
