Updates never work. They did not work last year either. Your software engineers must be on vacation. When the interview creates an error, manually correcting the error loses the ability to eFile.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The H&R block software was easy to use and guided me through the tax filing process. I recommend it.

AI help is worse than useless. The first response to one question was "Sure thing. If you want to pick this up later, I'll be happy to help again." If you think this is acceptable you're crazy.
I took the energy credit for installation of an electrical panel. Your program asked for a code which has never been issued to any manufacturer of these panels, and insisted it be entered twice. Turns out the code should have been for the "enabled equipment".
The end result is accurate, and in general the questioning is thorough. I just hope that next year the AI help has turned into actual help. User interface takes some getting used to, but is adequate.

Basic tax prep made easy

I’ve been using H&R software for several years. It has taken the worry out of filing. Two things would make it easier. I’ve done my taxes long enough to know I want to take the standard deduction. There should be a way to skip all of the questions. The other is that every year I get the error that I haven’t entered the year end balance of my IRA. The software should include a place to enter that amount so it doesn’t come up as an error.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!
