H&R Block software is the easiest tax preparation to use and there is always help available if needed ; the price is very reasonable - definately the best tax preparation software I have ever used .
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
The program is easy to use and allows me to E-file my returns securely with confidence. I am a volunteer tax aide with AARP and we use an on line tax program that is not as easy to use. I would recommend the H&R Block program to anyone that wants to file their own tax return
The use of this software service made it a very simple process including filling out the schedules, verifying accuracy of the calculations and confirming the best outcome for filing my tax returns. It instilled my full confidence that the job well be well done.

Issues with the California return
on March 5, 2020

The California version did not print the abbreviated computerized Form 540 for mailing. This is probably not a problem since the entire Form 540 was printed and mailed. But it confused me because it had always printed the abbreviated Form 540 in previous hears.
Also, for the printed mail version, the CA program did not include an "Assemble the return" note to attach 1099-R forms that include state income tax withheld. I did attach an applicable 1099-R form to my return, but I would have likely had to deal with providing the California Franchise Tax Board with that 1099-R information later after they adjusted my return because of not knowing the CA tax withheld info. I got into a hassle with California in the past when I e-filed the California return and there was no provision for validating the 1099-R tax withheld info in the e-file protocol. This is the reason I do not e-file my CA return.
