I have used H&R Tax Cut programs for over 25 years and have always found them straight forward to use.
Never have received complaints from IRS about errors after submission. Worth the cost.

I hope it will still meet the Windows 10 criteria next year also. I bought it for that reason. It is a little different from TurboTax, but adapting isn't that difficult.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

No Linux version.
Dialogue for RMD - required minimum distribution of IRA CD's - is confusing.

I have been buying this for years. Really enjoy using it for federal returns.
Only issue I have is it never allows me to file my Delaware returns electronically because of capital gains with my cash account. I have to always mail them
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Last time I will use this software.

I have used H&R tax program for many years, but this year will probably be last one.
1. Program is slow to record entered information; i.e., I added my wife's W2 then when I finished that section and checked for accuracy it did not show up. Apparently there is a long lag.
2. When entering charitable deductions, the worksheet does not allow you to delete deductions that have been imported from a prior year; there is a low limit as to how many charitable deductions you can enter; also does not automatically alphabetize the deductions.
3. Most serious issue: Accuracy Review is very unhelpful for fixing any issues. After completing and filing my federal taxes, I went on to do state, and the accuracy review kept showing an issue with information entered for W2; it did not specify which W2, mine or spouse's, and would not let me complete the return without correcting the info. I tried to get help online and the AI and chat were useless. There is no phone number in the help center to reach an actual human for help. I did a google search and found a number and was able to reach someone. The agent was of no help whatsover and suggested I take screen shots of the forms and print them out to send in! I said that that is not how this is supposed to work, and ended the call. Later I called again and reached a different agent who was much more helpful and we were able to get to finalize the return after trying many different fixes. Altogether, took way too long.
