I'm a fan. I've been using H&R Block's tax software for each of the last eight tax seasons now. It reduces the complexity of tax preparation, and converts the dreary drudgery of it to something that is, dare I say it, almost enjoyable instead. Thanks!
Two years ago I had problems with "Brand T" tax software. Problems happen, but their customer support was so poor that I quit that brand, and I won't go back.
So, I started using H&R Block for the 2018 tax year, and I am completely happy with the program. I have had no problems, and easily completed my federal and California forms both years.
I have used this program since it was called Tax Cut. (Since 2010) This year I had a few hiccups, but it all worked out after a few days. For some reason it wouldn't allow the completed return to e-file to both the Federal and State simultaneously. After a couple days of concern and several attempts, I finally got it to work by summitting the Federal first, then the State. Everything worked out and I already have my Federal refund!!!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
