I have been a very happy user of this program for at least 10 years. Through a series of questions, it guides you to the forms that need to be filled out so you're not having to spend time searching for the correct one.

Mostly good. Instructions are clear. Guidance is helpful. One flaw: The final error checkup they put the tax return through is poorly designed. The program catches some errors and forces you to fix them before filing - great. It also highlights some "recommended" changes the program suggests might need fixing. Again, good idea, but you get stuck in a loop that forces you to make changes even though the changes are recommendations, and not errors that need fixing. Frustrating.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents

I buy this program every year to do my taxes. It's easy to use, asks questions I hadn't thought about. I always finish my taxes believing I got the best possible refund. Thank you

I have been using the software for years. Since I retired I do not itemize anymore so the need for using a software package has diminished. This year I paid extra to submit mat state return online. When I was sending state return via mail, the refund would come in two weeks. Sending it online this year, it has been a month and the state still has not processed. I will go back to mailing it in next year.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast

Used for 10 years. Not happy no support for 915. Even after buying premium. Will change next year.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for the valuable feedback. Our goal is to make your tax life easier, and we apologize that you didn’t have a positive experience. We’d like the opportunity to work with you and make it right. If you could call us at 1-800-472-5625, our support team is ready to help.
As a former Block preparer for 17 years I remain loyal to your product. It’s hard to only use the software once and then the next year it becomes a struggle to navigate all the software changes. Regardless of that, I still wouldn’t use any other software.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!
