Have used TaxAct and more recently TaxCut for taxes over the years. Decided to try Block's offer for the first time. The questionnaire method of entering information worked fairly well compared to the others. It did seem to help with some deductions and credits that I don't recall before. Gave it a full test as I not only did my taxes, but was able to do a couple of my kids as well. I found it a bit difficult to jump to different forms, but the search feature helped a bit. I also had to file an extension, which took a while to figure out (had to go to the beginning of the questionnaire). Overall, it did the job and may have netted me a better refund but I did find it a bit more cumbersome to navigate around.
I purchase HR Block Delux early in the year. This allows me to copy information from the prior year and get my forms started as information rolls in. Makes it easy to file as soon as the last pieces of tax related data arrives. Love the audit feature as it keeps me from making simple mistakes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I wish that you could go back and forth between the software and online versions. For some reason with the software, the firewall does not allow updates - especially when you get to the state part. Otherwise, works really well.
I've been using this program for decades, but this year has me rethinking it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Got it done, would like better forecasting next year's tax. eg. Simple 3 collum's; last year's amounts, this year and next year. Change next year amounts, best guess. Show future tax.
So easy to use and get done right and quick. Just don’t do it on the last day their servers are too busy to handle the load.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

In the process of filing taxes kept receiving a Bad Gateway error. Used at home WiFi as well as a separate hotspot and the same result so it was not my connection. I now have to contact my bank to dispute 11 charges from H&at block on my account.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
