Very disappointed. it has it's limits. i payed for upgrade to Premium. it seemed very outdated too brief of explanations and would not process my State taxes . We had a simple sale of a vacant lot , needed to file Form 593 and your software would not efile it. At last minute we had to file by paper, which was high stress and very difficult. . I read that if I bought TurboTax instead, I could have efiled.and it would have been much more simple. The premium was exactly like Basic which I usually use. Your help was rerrible .
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not happy with the software. For the 2nd year in a row, I had to file my federal in error because I couldn't undo nor restart WITHOUT importing the previous year.
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought Deluxe with State. Disappointed that the program didn't have the built ins to perform all of functions I needed. I had to complete IRS worksheets for manual entry. Also disappointed that there is now a charge to file my state return
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund

I have been using H&R Block tax software since 1996. I had started my own business and hired an accountant to file my returns for the first year. She showed me that she was using H&R Block software, went over my returns with me and she told me that I could purchase the software and do my own taxes. So, the next year I did just that and have been filing my own returns ever since. I've had absolutely no problems during all this time. I have called a couple of time with questions, and they were always efficiently and effectively answered.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
Had very few issues keying in all the data for both me and my three adult children. Also took advantage of the E-filing for both IRS and State. I was able to preload filing information from the 2024 tax year that made it much easier to determine if we'd left anything out.
On a historical note, I do miss the ability to file on a 32-bit, Windows 7 box, but I already had a 64-bit Windows 7 box for video editing that worked quite well until you required another upgrade to a 64-bit Windows 10 box.
Found a little 6" x 6" x 1" Lenovo that sits on top of my manuscript tower and works well with the KVM used to swap between all three systems.
As a bonus, the Windows 10 box supports some applications from my 64-bit Windows 7 tower that stopped working on Windows 7 a couple of years ago.
