I have used H&R block tax software for 12 years and have never had any problems getting the job done. The interview process is straight forward and the ease of electronic filing has always been a completely painless process. Even if there is a problem with the initial attempt and there is a problem with the file as sent. I have found it very simple to correct the problem and successfully get the files accepted by the IRS and my state.
This is a great product. It is easy to use, very helpful, makes filing a Tax Return easy and straight forward.
I prefer to use Tax Preparation software because I can take my time to find documents and enter them at my leisure,
I like Electronic Filing. It is quick and easy to do. If there are any problems with my return, they are detected and reported back to me quickly. Any problem can be corrected quickly.
The "Agreement" seems more protective of my personal information than the "Agreements" of other Tax Preparation programs.
I am 80 years old and used H&R Block Tax preparation software for perhaps 10 years.
Thank you H&R Block!

Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I was expecting a refund from our income tax return. I was surprise not to get refund from both Federal and State income tax return.
Pros: Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

A. Program technically works well. Just follow the prompts. - B. Quickness of progression through program depends upon user's data preparation for entry. The more years you do taxes, the more you remember about information needs for preparation. - C. An easy way to expedite is to just go through the program without inputing any data and read the information. Two benefits: - C.1. jogs memory to get forgotten types ofinformation - C.2. lets you organize collected information in the order it will be used. - D. Only deficiency I note, peronal benefit, is inability to copy and paste screen information for off-line use or button on screen to accomplish same. -
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
Cons: Hard to import documents

I purchased this software last month. Imports were easy to do, but, I found it necessary to enter my capital gains info on a piece mail basis because the import software did not work well.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used H & R Block programs for years and before that the Kiplinger programs. They have always worked on my XP computers but not this year. The program would not even let me try it. Problem is that my 2018 tax return is on the XP computer. I loaded the 2018 program on a Windows 10 computer and the 2019 program would not recognize the return. I had a very difficult time getting my 2018 capital loss carry forward to the 2019 return. I found it was not as easy navigating in the 2019 program this year. For example, when the review was done it came up with things they said needed fixed On one it displayed two pages and said to answer "the" question below but did not highlight the line they were referring to making it necessary to wade through the two pages in hopes of answering the right question. I seems that whoever wrote the program made a lot of assumptions that the user would intuitively know what they were talking about.
The interviews are straightforward; the customer support was responsive.
Handling K-1's was manual requiring making entries where the software really did not allow manual entry.
My biggest complaint is that if you Foreign Taxes paid and had Foreign Tax carry over from prior years, this software does NOT provide a worksheet for the carry over which is required by IRS. If this is your situation, you have to forego e-file, print the tax return and attach your own worksheet and then mail it !!! Absurd.
