I have used H&R Block software for several years and have been very satisfied. This year I had to correct an entry in my Federal return relative to interest. The software would not load the corrected interest amount into my State return. The software continued to say it had downloaded the information from my Federal return, but it had downloaded the original entry, not the corrected information.
I have used this product for close to 10 years to prepare my taxes. This year was my last. The last 2 years, I have had difficulty submitting my final returns. At the time I am ready to submit my return, the program tells me that I need to verify some items. The explanation is rather vague as to how I verify these items. Next, when I try to send in the final return, I receive a message that I need to upgrade my program before submitting my return. It took me 4 try’s to upgrade. Then I was finally able to submit my return. I charged the filing fee to my Discover card. Later on, I checked out my Discover card statement & found that my filing fee for my return had been submitted 4 times. At this moment, there are 4 charges on my Discover card for the filing of one federal & one state return. I only submitted one return for my federal & state returns. It took me 4 try’s before the one set of returns was accepted, but l’m being charged for 4 returns. Next year I use Turbo Tax.
The HRB software is economical and the data entry forms are easy to use and transition between. This leads to easy navigation. The intermediate and final forms are easy to reference, examine and save for future reference.
Great for huge majority of personal tax situations

Have many years experience with this program. 99% of my tax situation are fully covered and explained. I have one situation which is relatively rare and is a bit more complex. Highly recommended.
Easy program to install and use. First, gather all your gov't forms together (W-2, 1099s, etc.) Then, just follow the program hints, questions, instructions, filling in the blanks as needed.
