The personal tax product with 5 licenses is a good deal for a growing family. It has serious bugs in scanning in W2s. It cannot handle W2s that have non taxable income. This is a major bug. The Business Product is a waste of time. In 2022, I worked around the bugs and crashes. In 2023 I was forced to buy Intuit TurboTax for business as the HR&R Block Business Software crashed at every form. You need a way more stable product.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents

Questions are sometimes counter-intuitive. Help is difficult to find for both personal and business forms. Error messages are short, insufficient, and do not explain how to fix it.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

Kills the purpose of the software savings if you have to do manual work by mailing and printing for State returns. Would rather save time and go back to TaxAct instead for full Online experience and eFiling for both Federal and State.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
Personal and business returns are two separate packages with different user interfaces. Business has limited interviews and some bugs that you have to work around. Business data is stored in a database that can be corrupted but support has a “fix” program. Program is definitely designed for tax professionals. However, it’s still better than other programs I’ve tried. Three stars, at most. Personal side is much better and typical consumer quality. I give it 5 stars.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

Used another product for years, and H & R for the last couple years. The interview process, forms, etc. are all similar. One pet-peeve with H & R is when you do the final 'error checking', each time you visit an error or issue, you have to wait for it to re-compile the error-checking all over again each time... takes a couple minutes each time. And even if you choose to disregard or over-ride a particular 'error', it remains in the list; no way to clear it and move it. That part of the program is kind of clunky.
Cons: Time consuming
