Nearly perfect except for two bugs: 1) E-filing shows pattern for SS number as xxx-xx-xxxx however if you use those hyphens you get an error message; 2) E-file overrides system default to open Internet Explorer which does not connect; copying the URL to any other browser such as Chrome works perfectly. Fix these two bugs and you have a near-perfect program!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

Multi-state filing is still not fully integrated in regards to the multiple states and the info that should flow from the federal and state tax info probably due to its modular architecture. Also many forms are not included including penalty calculations for tax underpayment through the tax year. No substantial improvements from previous year in terms of the intelligence of the software and based on previous return imported from the previous year using the software from the same brand. Additional states cost more that the federal+state plus filing states cost almost the same as the entire software that allows 5x federal filings.
Pros: Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After years of using a major competitor, I decided to try H&R Block's tax software. I did taxes for both of my young adult children- relatively simple & straightforward, no real issues. For my personal taxes, I found the process to be much more sterile and less "engaging" than the competition's product. I'm not saying taxes are "fun", but I've always somewhat enjoyed the process and learning about new, exciting (and often costly) new changes in the tax laws as they impacted my shifting household. There was a decidedly less fun feel to the H&R Block offering. I also had one specific issue where the software didn't provide the info I needed and, once I found it elsewhere, it wasn't at all clear how best to enter the information. (Note: the issue in question was the sale & adjusted basis of a second, non-primary home).
All in all, if your taxes are relatively simple, I've no doubt this will get the job done and, when all was said & done, I'm confident that my taxes were completed correctly and well. That said, I'll be back to using the other option next year.
Pros: Easy to import documents, Fast
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Taxes with Confidence

The easy-to-use software, the step-by-step guidance, and the detailed explanations made it easy to submit my tax information to the IRS with confidence. More could be done to help users navigate 529 disbursements (especially when the student is still claimed by the parents), but I see this as a minor area for improvement since the IRS documentation (PUB-940) has a number of well-written examples. That said, the software overall is superb.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used H&R Block software for several years. At first, I thought it was going to be cumbersome because I had to type a lot--names of financial institutions from which I received interest and dividends, for example. But I quickly realized that the fact that the software did all of the calculations and handled each type of income correctly made this software a real time saver. I highly recommend it.
Pros: Easy to prepare
