I have used this program for years but the last 2 years I have not been able to efile. I have gotten transcripts of previous years and verified info but IRS keeps rejecting my return.
This version were not easy to navigate and does no offer any option. Unlike the previous years where all questions are clearly defined there are sub questions within the questions. I hope they fix this next year.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using H&R tax software for over 30 years and have never thought of using any of the competitions programs. I have never been audited and that says a lot to their accuracy.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
SW was a comprehensive guide to efficiently completing our yearly filing obligation. The program makes it "easy" to get from entering your personal info to getting your forms filed via upload or US Snail Mail.

I'd never paid estimated NYS taxes before. I started the IT-205 form, entered my estimated taxes for the year, and expected to be taken through a process where the taxes would be calculated. I also expected to be able to double-check before finalizing the transaction. Neither of those things happened and I ended up allowing NYS to take out the full amount of estimated taxes for the year, which has caused me many problems. I've checked online: others have had this problem in past years.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Everything worked all season until the last two days when server were inaccessible BAD GATEWAY I mailed an extension for my protection after 2 days down, but I was finally able to file online on the evening of April 15th.
Been using the deluxe product for years and have been very satisfied. However I ran into an unexpected issue this year. My only W2 income in 2023 was a distribution from a deferred income plan. There were no issues with the Federal portion of the return, but when H&R Block Deluxe 2023 applied that W2 to my NJ return it classified it as "other" income and prevented me from e-filing my NJ return.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've used both of the major tax preparation software and find that the Turbo Tax is more intuitive to use than H & R. Both prepare the taxes as expected, but there is a lot of back and forth in H & R vs. Turbo Tax. H & R is good for simple returns where as Turbo tax excels with the more complex ones.
