I have always given this software a 5-star rating, but not this year. The instructions for certain deductions, such as health insurance premiums for seniors, were unclear. The help files were not helpful and didn't even have instructions for seniors who are both retired from regular employment but still self-employed. Also, royalties appeared in the resulting income, but appear as 0 after being entered on the royalty lines. Finally, the items needing attention at the end didn't 'clear' after double-checking (though this has always been a problem).
Cons: Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still easy and quick but no improvements since over 15 years other than the math. NO NEW FEATURS at all. Limited report generation. No backward compatibility. Price is fair, but had to pay again, because ID Key would not work when ready to submit. Help not available in time, The AI helper is NO GOOD.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have been using block software for the last ten years. Easy to import previous years data. E filing is the best way to file.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

You didn't tell me until after I had filed Federal and had paid to file my State return that my Federal return contained a form that can't be e-filed. Unbelievable. After many, many years of HR Block software, I'm switching.

Premium works great. Business version needs some work on guiding user thru the process for 1041 and 990 filing.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming

This boomer has been using HRB Premium/Business since the 1990s. The personal software has always been very good - stable, intuitive, and comprehensive in forms, which I have a ton of. Import from previous years is flawless and it's well tuned for non-financial taxpayers in flow and assistance. 5 stars.
The Business program is a great value for my LLC, S Corp, and C Corp Fed and state returns. However, it's never been great to use. It was very buggy in the early years and navigation was awful. It's improved a good bit since then and covers every form out there. My state return (NC) remains a manual form fill, although there's good linkage on calculated fields, and much of the work for my state is prefilled from federal. Because of its comprehensive business type coverage and recent improvements at a reasonable price (and because it's not an obnoxious, pricey competitor), I give it 4 stars.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
