This leads you through a well organized path to do your own tax return. I like the included e-filing feature that greatly speeds any refund you may get. I do prefer the stand alone software to keep my data privately secure and to make it easy to do trial calculations and save them for reference. The notepad - calculator feature needs to be made easier to find and use.
The service & tax software is easy to use. It takes you step by step through all the requirements for your federal & state returns.I have used it for two years now & will continue using H&R for my tax returns.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Paid State Tax Penalty due to Incorrect Calculatio

For the first time ever, in using this software, I had to pay a penalty for my Ohio state income tax, because H&R Block Deluxe calculated my quarterly tax payments too low in 2021. It calculated it too low again this year, but I was wise enough to override its recommendation. If you cannot trust the software's calculations, how can you trust using it? After over 20 years of using TaxCut/H&R Block, I will switch to TurboTax.
Have used H&R Deluxe for 15 years to successfully handle a variety of tax issues - including rental property income, IRA and 403b distributions, losses due to special-provision storm damage, sale of residence, variety of charitable contributions, AMT, etc.
I've been a H&R tax software user for at least 20 yrs. I have had no problems with the IRS, nor my state authorities. I find the step by step easy & through. I find that the software gives me the best chance to minimize my tax bill.
