Verified Purchase:Yes
The program was easy to use, but I wish we would’ve got some money back Like my friend who used an accountant to do hers. We paid a lot in taxes and we are retired.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've used H&R Block software for many years, and always been happy with the results. This year it let me down when it came to form 7206. The program did not complete all the data, even though all that info was in the software. It caused a hiccup with the IRS.
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Acceptable Experience. Unfortunate Interface

Posted by: Frustrated Senior Citizen
from West Coast, USA
The tax calculation is thorough and easy to follow.
The interface is poorly thought out and implemented.
Miniscule fonts make usability a crapshoot. And, with no way to adjust for a more reasonable size and appearance, it's clear no one there really gives a hoot.

I'll find an alternative in the future.

The software performs as expected. The income sequence is goofy. You start with minor income stuff like interest and put Social Security last when it should be first with W2 and 1099-R information. Also, since Composite statements have both Interest, Dividends and 1099-B information they should be closer together.
I would recommend this to a friend!
