Overall, the software is user friendly although there can be some relatively minor confusing directions or steps. For someone with a generally simple return, this software is a good alternative to the far more expensive office preparation and makes a lot of sense and after some very bad experiences with Turbo Tax and Cash App where major things were missed. My only complaint would be the same as with competitors in that state filings are charged even when the customer is given the impression that there is free filing for both state and federal.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund

This product is fine as I have used it in the past, except for Form 8962. This was the first time using this form, as the interview is not clear and even with IRS Form 8952 instructions, it was a bear to complete and very confusing.

As always, the software (DELUXE w/State) works very easy, and we are very confident in the results when we put them in the mail. However, my wife and I have different types of PC's (a PC and an iMAC). Prior to this year, being in the same household, were able to get the two different downloads, one for each type of computer. This year you changed your rules??? This caused us a tremendous amount of hassle for the one who had to use the "other's" machine. Seems to be very poor policy. This made us consider using a different provider, for the first time in decades.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm not sure I'll use this product again. It wasn't as thorough as I am accustomed to and offered insufficient information to resolve remaining issues.

Have used for years. My only complaint is the inability to efile PA State taxes when participating in EITC/OSTC. VERY frustrating.

Always have had great results when using H&R Block's Tax Software. Been using it since 1998. Knock on wood, so far, I've never been audited when using it.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
