Fairly easy to use. However I had to amend my return and I was unable to file the 1040X electronically. It kept rejecting. It gave a reject code, but no explanation of what was wrong so I couldn't fix it. That is unacceptable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gary, we’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business, and thank you for the valuable feedback!
Easy to use, simple instructions and support if needed. Allows for electronic submissions on 1st day open to filing. This in turn offers tax refunds within two weeks.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

I used TurboTax for 30 years until this year when it would only work with Windows 11 which I refuse as this point to use. The H&R Block software didn't have that restriction, so I obtained it. Everything went fine until the final validation when I received an error that on Form 5329, lines 53b was incorrect and to fix it. The error was "Calculations of form 5329, line 54a and 54b are not available in the update. You'll have to wait for future update to file your return." I waited almost 7 weeks for an update and nothing. I called and finally talked to someone who said, "wait 3 days." The calculation on that line was 100% correct per the instructions. This is a bug as far as I can see and should have been pretty simple to fix but they did nothing. I am extremely disappointed with the inability to get help for this problem. I finally just printed it anyway and mailed the Fed form in. Very disappointed.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
