Have been using H&R for several years now. It is a well priced product and fairly easy to use. Some minor issues in importing information from previous return, but once you work around it, it is straightforward.
Pros: Maximizes refund

I've been using this product for at least two decades from when it was called TaxCut. I'm generally happy with the product, but I can't give it five stars because of a number of annoyances that I've reported many times to no avail.
For example, I don't use the program's default directories. It would be nice if I could specify to the program where I want it to store things, but I can't and have to keep setting the desired directory.
I also have to go through my many depreciation items and have to re-set the depreciation period year after year. I wish the program would remember those settings as it would save me a lot of time, especially since the tax law doesn't allow me to change the depreciation period. So, why does the program make me declare it every year?
On a related note, I have a couple of pages of depreciation items. When I get to the second page of items to review and finish an item, the program takes me back to the first page of items instead of returning me to the last item I entered. If the "page down" key worked, it would be a bit better. But, I can only scroll the page with the mouse. Again, a waste of my time.
I use an IRS IP Protection PIN. The program did not ask me for that and my return was initially rejected by the IRS. I had to find the correct background worksheet into which to enter the PIN manually. That's an omission from the interview which I hope will now be fixed.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall. We understand that there may be areas where we can improve. We appreciate your business and value your input.
It's a little easier this year, but still very buggy! It seems to crash at the most inopportune times. I think it took at least 15 tries to e-file One of my returns.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

I like having all business and personal returns in one place but the programs differ in how to enter data, print and file electronically. I have also had major problems with file formats in which it took me hours with support.
Pros: Easy to import documents

I’m a CPA and this software is very difficult to use compared to other software I’ve used. Things that should be simple are not. The state programs are worse than the fed but none are good. I have no idea how non-CPAs can even produce a set of returns with this software.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Every year this program corrupts something. The 2024 tax year shut down my ability to open any other tax year I had on my computer. I was not able to do a single business return and lost all of my information. I am finally switching to another software. I have had enough.
