So easy to use

My hard drive crashed and I lost everything on it including my 2017 H&R Block tax return and I hadn't printed a copy! I had to email the IRS to get a copy and the instructions on the H&R 2018 site were so easy to understand and now my 2018 return has been filed and accepted by the IRS! Yay!!! looking forward to my refund!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

My taxes are not complicated but I like the continuity of filing year after year with HR BLOCK. My history is readily available and much of it fills automatically. E-file is easy with Fed & State together.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been using the H&R Block Basic Software (for my grown children and my 97-year old mother) for the past 5 years. It's excellent! My own taxes are more complicated with rental properties and occasional purchases/sales of homes so I use an accountant. But as far as the basics, this software package is superb with the step-by-step instructions and the free e-filing
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a hard time finding a way to bring up my 1099-R, the program got stuck on the 1099-G. Had to use the search option to find the page. Otherwise, the program worked as I expected, and filing was quick and easy.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this brought it home and had it set up and working on my return within a half hour. My return was completed and filed quickly. The product was easy to use and on the review showed me I had missed a valuable deduction. Pleased with the product.
