One annoying bug

Even though I was submitting within the extension deadline (Oct. 17) for my returns, this software did not allow the payment I owed CA to be made from the refund I was receiving from my federal return. The reason given was that it was not allowed after Oct. 15. Maybe there really was such a quirk in the laws, but it seems much more likely to be a faulty deadline assumption on the part of H&R's codewriters.
Easy to use, extremely helpful figuring out your deductions and exemptions. It was my first time ever filing my own taxes and it went smoothly and I was extremely happy with my returns.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I received a letter from the IRS saying that the child tax reimbursement or something like that was wrong. In addition I thought I sent my taxes in on time. However, somehow it wasn't sent.My state was filed correctly.but not my Federal. I sent them taxes and penalty of nearly $1000. It may be time to look at someone else's software. Ironically,after I payed them, the IRS sent me a flyer on how I may be able to save money on the very problem they flagged me on.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

Modestly priced compared to Turbotax. Somewhat more costly than more bare bones programs but worth it for no hidden gimmicks and strong support.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had to manually type in every single detail of my W2 because the software can't properly import a simple PDF.

I’ve used H & R Tax Block for over 13 years with no problems. This year it said no errors, no risk of audit yet when I submit to IRS they repeatedly reject it… so I’m suppose to mail in the return… thanks for five free files that mean nothing next year it’s Turbo Tax I’ll be buying. Also the calculations that this software came up with are different for m6 state and school taxes according to their websites… so epic fail all the way around.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was the first time in a long time that I did my own taxes. I did try to talk to someone via on line chat but nobody was available. Despite this I was able to file, which is so great.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

The application crashed and closed multiple times

We have used H&R Block for about 9 years. We have been very happy with the software over the years. However, this year, the software crashed and abruptly closed multiple times during the process of entering the data. We may investigate other tax software next year.
