Have used Block tax software for years now and probably will again but ran into a problem filing the info i received on a 1099-S which is reporting the sale of a home(not my primary residence). There was no place in the interview and nothing in search to help. The software support team said the Deluxe Fed plus State did not address this . It should!
I found this a bit difficult to navigate and I could not find many of the deductions that I would normally take. I had to have the taxes redone by an accountant.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hard to Navigate
on June 23, 2020
Posted by: Ramblin RN
Have used HR Block software in the past, will not use again. It is extremely difficult to navigate within the program, you must close out the return to go to the actual worksheet and then close that to return to the form to make corrections. Extremely time consuming. Very difficult for the 2019 taxes because it refers you back to the 2018 worksheets which are useless in many cases because of the tax code changes for 2019. Had a very, very difficult time with the Schedule A Itemized deduction form because the 2018’s was very different. Searching the 2018 form referred you back to 2017.!!!!
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this app for 5 years and I think it's really easy and quick and clear instructions. Helpful hints and explanations.
Can not transfer software when I had to replace my computer. Very disappointed. After years using H&R, I will be researching for another software provider.
