Have used hr block for years. It continues to get less confusing every year. More information is automatically transfered from last years federal return to my current return and transfered from my current federal return to my state return.
easy to navigate through, easy to understand and clear explanations throughout the entry pages. However, it is time to improve the User Interface to be compatible to high resolution monitors.
I have been using the H&R tax software for many years to do my and my family's federal tax returns. It is easy to use. It is a real lifesaver come tax time because all schedules and worksheets are incorporated into what looks like a simple program. As someone who filed on paper many years ago I can greatly appreciate this. I electronically filed all of the returns and always immediately afterward was notified that the IRS received them. Very soon after receipt I was happily notified that the returns were accepted by the IRS. For the first time I also recently purchased and filed a state tax return as well. I first tried to navigate the forms directly on the state's website and found it too difficult and not user friendly, it was even rejected twice! The H&R Block state return was a breeze compared to the other and I filed it electronically and soon after was accepted. This made me so happy! The software is well worth the price because you save a lot of money by doing it yourself. I highly recommend it and will continue to use every tax season.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
