horrible Form 1116
on April 12, 2019
Posted by: Al11
Form 1116 abandons normal question/answer mode leaving one to get lost in a form with mini-worksheets superimposed that is more complex than the full form itself. It even doesn't cover all items on the form. Some fields leave one guessing as to what the proper data is - in effect "Call IRS for details on this field"
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good, but not great
on April 12, 2019
Posted by: Bobxyz
H&R Block Deluxe 2018 was not able to download my 1099-R from E*Trade. It re-downloaded the 1099-Div, which created duplicate entries.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good, but room for improvement

There are lots of places that the software just doesn't address well. Perhaps embed links to other articles helping those who only do this once a year would be good.
For instance, the software brought over last years taxes, which was good. However, I did some side work last year, which I didn't do for 2018. It still brought it over and I had a fit with understanding it. The summary at the end caught it and reported it as an issue. It wasn't an issue, but I had to end up deleting that Schedule C Form in order to e-file. There should have a wizard to ask me if I still had this side job. Just my opinion.

e-filing failed
on April 12, 2019

e-filing failed even though I'd used the same software last year. Reason: last year's AGI did not match what I reported -- even though it was pulled from the same software/files.
I ended up mailing in both federal and state returns.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Almost Perfect

This continues to be the best software (based on my conversations with friends who use Turbotax) for individual preparation of tax returns. Among improvements, I found that forcing me to enter itemized deductions, when I knew the standard deduction was called for, wasted my time. I was in the same loop when I was forced to answer questions for a local tax return. Municipalities in our area require that we use their tax preparation service provider. Easy to navigate and regular visible updates of the current state of refund or amount due!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast

Bit worried

So, my state came back - rejected so I went through the process again, paid again to file but I think I may have filed my Fed twice? Is that possible or does the second submission get rejected?
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
