I have used H&R for years and find their software very easy to use. My wife died in Dec and while using their state soft wear , they did not support efiling when a spouse dies. Since their fed program supports it, they should fix the state to support and I believe they will.

I have been using H&R Block Basic for the last 7 years. It has always worked smoothly and has been a quick process. This year was a little more buggy than I would have liked or expected. My refund/amount owed was constantly changing, even when I made no corrections. It made me feel less confident in the product.
Great software. I especially liked the "what if" capability. The data extraction from our 2016 taxes worked well and saved me a lot of preparation time. Great value. I had no issues this time too.

I have been using this software since 2004, I believe. At that time, it was called Tax Cut. I never have a problem with it and have recommended it to many of my friends.
