I have used H&R Block software to do my taxes for several years now and generally have been very happy with it. This year my tax filing was delayed for two weeks due to a software error that would not allow me to e-file. The program identified an error in one of the supporting tax forms that was not in error. This wasted 2 to 3 hours trying to fix the "error', only to find out through the help chat feature that there was a known software bug which would be fixed in an upcoming update. The update date came and the issue was still not fixed. The next update came a week later and the issue was finally fixed. The error message went away and I could finally file. The issue wasted my time and delayed my refund by two weeks.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this product for years and will continue to do so. It makes doing taxes relatively easy and keeps up with tax law changes. I particularly like the ability to efile, import information from various providers directly into the program, and to prefill data from last year's return. With the ability to do more than one return, I do my own, that of some family members, and sometimes use a spare return to do "what if" scenarios. It's a great tool.

We’re so happy to hear you had a great experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback.
The user interface is archaic. I was not able to file my state return because the software said I had a mistake. I didn’t. And even if I did I should be able to use my judgment and file whatever I want to file. And btw, it allowed me to file my federal return with the same mistake.
Cons: Time consuming

Product seems to have done the job as usual but to me a continuing deficiency is the programs lack of a native PDF writer. The "free" PDF download concerns me as software is generally not free and I am concerned that a third party will be able to harvest portions of my tax information during use.
Cons: Hard to import documents
