The software is fairly good, but when I submitted my final Fed and State returns, normally, I did not receive an email that the returns were received. The fee for the state return was in my credit card account. After several days, I went into the software and saw that the returns were not submitted. There was also a message saying that I needed to update the software version before submitting! So I resubmitted the Federal return but hesitated about the state since I had already paid the fee. Finally the credit card charge was removed and I resubmitted the state return. This is NOT acceptable. If there is an update or other errors, you need to notify users. Otherwise, they will think their returns are submitted and they would be fined for late submissions later in the year. You need to fix this kind of problem. It sounds like I got caught up in the middle of a software update issue. FIX THIS for other people.

I bought Deluxe+State but no free state was included. I was able to file the Federal return but not the State, as advertised. Instead, I was prompted to purchase a State. I will never buy this product again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mostly the software works….BUT. 1. Your program update link for a Mac doesn’t work. 2. Your help area and software for NY inflation protection checks were non-existent. #1 has been going on for several years. Why don’t you fix it? #2 shows you are not on top of things the way you should be.
Cons: Time consuming

I have been using H&R Block software since its inception, and the predecessor prior to that. At one point we had rental property, and although I was employed by a government agency, I also had a business on the side. This guided me throughout my taxes every year with absolutely no problems.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!
