This program works as intended. I have used it for years. However, it does not get along with anti-virus software. Updates and e-files are blocked from internet access.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I moved in the middle of the year.So, I needed to file in two states. HRB software fid not do a good job with the second state's filing and handling the fact that I received unemployment benefits from one state while living in another. This wasn't a complicated situation. Your software should have been able to handle this with ease; but it could not. I was very frustrated and quite displeased.
I did not have a lot of problems until I had to go back and update some of the information. In some cases, I was not able to determine what it did and had to delete that section and totally reenter the data. Once everything was in, I waited till the 14th and loaded the update. Not sure what happened then, but had to start over with the data entry.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
My taxes are relatively simple, all retirement incomes from 1099-Rs, with one other income, this software made easy work of it. I've always used TurboTax in the past, but switched to H&R block when I couldn't get a question answered on last year's return concerning how to handle cashing in a universal life policy. The H&R Block software navigated me through that issue without any hesitation. Since it worked so well, I've continued to be an H&R Block customer this year. I give it 4 stars only because I prefer the TurboTax interface a little more. I'll continue using this software next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have purchased H&R Block's tax software for many years now and am thoroughly satisfied at still being able to do my own taxes!
