Worked for me without a flaw. Download of 1099 forms was great. Seems like the interview could be shortened by using answers from previous years but this is a very minor problem. This about my 10th year using H&R, next year will be 11!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Useful, but a bit rough around the edges

I was able to file my taxes without too much effort using this software. In general, it works ok, but there are a lot of "rough edges", things that really shouldn't exist in a final, released version of software.
For example, the "see which forms are finalized" link on the updates page doesn't actually take you to a page that shows which forms are final and which will be updated. Instead, it takes you to a page to download old version of the tax software.
Another example is the bank account information. The software wasn't able to carry over bank account information from my federal tax payment to my state tax refund. It has to be a very common case that filers want to use the same account for both, but for some reason, the "copy from federal" box was grayed out -- maybe because one was a payment and the other a refund? In any case, another missed opportunity to make a simple improvement to make the software more user-friendly.
A third example is the printouts - using the supplied PDF driver, the summary pages at the beginning of the federal and state returns is cut off at the bottom of the page. Someone didn't bother to do a basic check of how the print margins should be handled so that the text breaks between lines.
These examples are typical of the rough edges throughout the software. It works for filing your taxes, but it's not a shining example of well-designed software.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’ve been using the H&R Block downloadable software for several years. It easily grabs my past years information where I only have to edit the changes for the current year. The H&R Block program is intuitive and easy to navigate.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast

I have been using this software for years and never had a major problem getting my taxes done. I would have given this version 5 stars but I had a problem verifying some entries on the worksheets. For some reason a zero was interpreted as a number and the software wanted me to answer more questions about the subject. The additional questions did not apply to my submission. I had to delete the zeros and leave the entry blank to remove the warning messages I received on the final review of my submission.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!
