had to download instead of use cd
on February 24, 2018
Posted by: SRBECB
I usually get the cd in the mail & use it. This year I had to download because the cd mailed to me failed. It would not install not matter what I tried.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use features

I have used H&R for years and find their software very easy to use. My wife died in Dec and while using their state soft wear , they did not support efiling when a spouse dies. Since their fed program supports it, they should fix the state to support and I believe they will.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast

Usually a Great Product
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: rdeinert
I have been using H&R Block Basic for the last 7 years. It has always worked smoothly and has been a quick process. This year was a little more buggy than I would have liked or expected. My refund/amount owed was constantly changing, even when I made no corrections. It made me feel less confident in the product.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to fix issues, Hard to import
I would recommend this to a friend!

EASY PEEZY Accurate

Great software. I especially liked the "what if" capability. The data extraction from our 2016 taxes worked well and saved me a lot of preparation time. Great value. I had no issues this time too.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
