I took a long time in preparing my return using this SW product. I was unable to persist with tax preparations because I was involved with pressing household matters. Each time I returned to this program, I found it easy to pick up where I left off. And when I neared completion of the task, rerunning the program audit feature uncovered unresolved questions concerning data details that might have prevented acceptance by the IRS. Not long after I submitted my e-filing to the IRS via Block, it was accepted by the government. I expect a full refund soon. If so, I'll begin planning next year's taxes, perhaps using the tools in this product. It's easy to do "What-if" analyses to minimize tax liability using this program.
Although I had to pay duh Govment, this software made the experience much easier. Took lees than two hours and now I can enjoy my weekend (poorer but glad it's done)!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Very straightforward to use. Just answer the questions. Logically laid out so I know where I am in the process. Imported my data from last year. I input all my forms. Made state taxes a snap. Easy to efile and direct deposit. Used this program for years. Never had a problem with the IRS.
It is a great program with one drawback that developed with this year's edition. I have used H&R Block tax software for many years and before could always print out individual pages of my 1040 return. This year you don't have that option either all or none. Not a huge deal but frustrating! Otherwise very happy with it.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I loved the program. It was so easy to use. the only recommendation I would make would be put the changes in the tax law on the very first page, so tax filers don't spend unnecessary time tabulating expenses that are ineligible to be deducted.

The software is usually easy to follow, but I had several problems with it this year. First, I couldn't get it loaded on my computer. Then I couldn't get the update to download until after I talked to someone from Microsoft. Then I had trouble downloading the state form and getting the email to download it. Then I had trouble filing my federal tax forms. I finally was able to talk to a person at HR Block who was able to help me. I don't think I will use this software next year.
