When I bought this program I expected to answer questions and the program to fill out the paperwork. But when it was directing me to fill out the paperwork on my own I thought that was a little counterproductive. All It had to do was ask me specific questions and it should’ve filled it out all by itself but it did not. I was extremely disappointed in that.
this software is easy to navigate. It asks questions on each subject to help you decide what you need to enter if anything at all. HR Block made this fool proof. As long as you read each question and navigate each step thouroghly, you can not go wrong. I showed my 18 year old how to do her taxes using this program. There is also an accuracy check at the end that will find mistakes and issues in your form. It will advise you on corrections and steps that you need to take.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
A fairly good program, but doesn't have the capability to generate an amended return from a previous year and file electronically. It doesn't encourage itemized deductions when warranted.

When I spend money for software, I expect it to work with no errors. Sadly that is not the case for H&R Block's 2020 program. I can't submit my federal or state returns because the software does not allow a date after 1/1/2020 for the last date of residence in CA. Someone missed that update.
