After using this software for a number of years, this year was quite disappointing. After printing, buying envelopes big enough, and driving over an hour to mail them, I now realize even more so how efiling would have been so much easier. That is if, and this is a huge if, HR Blocks servers were not down for most of the last 20 hours. On top of that, charging my credit card for services not rendered. Will be exploring my other options going into the next tax year. Would not recommend mainly due to uncertainty of efiling. Don't take the chance if you are close to the deadline.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve used HR Block software for several years and have been very satisfied. Not this year. I purchased on line, it there was not the usual code on the mailing we got. So not only didn’t I get the lesser advertised price, but I also didn’t get the free state return filing. Then, to top it off, there were problems trying to esend the federal. I was on my way to the local post office with a hard copy to send to the federal, and it went through at the last minute. We are “pending”. I’m hoping this year was an anomoly.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It should be trivial to go from input forms to where that input shows up in an IRS form and back again. e.g. double click a box and a popup asks if you want to bring up the other form. Instead, you have to click "i want a form" then click the form you want. You want a second form? then exit out of the form window and start over. Ick. *VERY* poorly designed.
*ALSO* your programmers did not handle an unexpected failure mode very well. Once your servers started bouncing returns with "bad gateway" errors, it was next to impossible to print the return without the "not for filing" stamp on every page. Come on! Do better.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased HRB Business because I needed to do Sub-S Corporate and Personal returns, your package did both, TT did not. HRB was more economical for me. Took a while to get my bearings, but got the job done. Better? Worse? I'd just say "different", but did get both my jobs done. Next Year? Can't say - we'll see.
I have used this program for at least eight years and really appreciate the ability to file both personal and business returns and never have a problem with the IRS.
I have used the H&R block program to complete my taxes for numerous years. I find it easier the Turbo-Tax program. I have no complaints and will continue to use it going forward.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
