For the second time in three years, Block's software updates were insufficient. Two years ago, I finally gave up and filed on paper. This year, I removed a form with a relatively minor deduction because it was no longer worth the wait for an update that might fix the problem.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had problems with Turbo Tax and switched to H&R Block. Entry was fairly simple, but awkward to just be able to run a check on the return on a progressional basis. Not a big gripe, but why wait to the end to find minor errors and mistakes?

Our first year using the software after years of using a tax specialist. Our state refund did not match what the software reported it would be. The software calculated return was reduced by last year’s refund. I still have no idea why.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
