Cumbersome and requires a lot of manual form entry. No ability to keep notes for each entry. No ability to flag an entry for review. Does not pull all information from last year’s tax records. TurboTax much easier and more complete. Spend the extra money for TurboTax.
As far as tax software goes, my least favorite. Interface is very old (think windows 3.1). Quirky doesn’t pick wveyoup from prior year audit, had to spend 30 minutes to figure it out because the Audit verifier kept telling me I was missing info. After 3 years of trying to save a few bucks, I’m going back to taxact for 2020
Okay for Basic Use - Poorly Formatted State Return

The software user experience was about on par with other types and the cost was slightly better than TT. However, not ALL investments were covered by this software, and our state returns were not accepted due to formatting errors with the software and we had to print and mail instead of e-file as we were rejected twice with error codes of "Formatting errors, contact your software provider."
I have been using H&R Block Deluxe for many years now and like it very much. It is easy to install, easy to use, clear and well organized. My taxes are not complicated and H&R Block is so well organized that I can complete and submit my federal and state taxes with just a couple of hours of work. I love the electronic filing, saves me from printing out return, making a copy, and going to the post office!
I've used the H&R Block software now for about 8 years. I love that it imports items from the previous year to help save time. That also helps remind of what I entered last year so I don't forget. I continue to use it because it works!
