As I have for the past 10 or 15 years, I use the H&R Block deluxe edition software on my computer. This year was buggier than in past years. They were parts of the interview at which the program would quit and I would need to reopen it. Also the instructions for form 8949 and schedule D were terrible. Usually I am confident that the program got my tax return correctly, but this year I have no such confidence.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Didn't seem to be as straightforward as last year, e.g. It said I had to buy the state even when it was included. It should include e filing the state as well, and filing a state extension. Some method of flagging a topic to be revisited would be helpful.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been purchasing this product for several years. easy to use and covers all the tax laws.
My only issue with HNR black software. It will not allow you to print the screen you are working on. You should design your software for users to print a screenshot.
Pros: Easy to prepare

I have used HR Block Federal and State Software for years. While it is easy to use, for the last three years, loading my Ohio tax form has been arduous. The only solution I found is to dig into my applications/library, etc to fix this glitch. This problem is almost enough for me to consider an alternative software.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
