Used over a decade. Reliable once you understand where everything goes and what it needs from you. Easily imports last year's data and gets you going quickly until the end of the return. Yes, there are sections where you'll need to refer to the IRS website, tax books, and even a tax consultant, but that's not your fault or H&R's, it's the IRS's super-complex 10,000+ pages of tax code at work. What's really nice is that H&R Block continues to work on slower, older PCs with older OSs.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Easy to import
I have used this program for the last 6 years without a problem. This year, I checked my status looking for my refund on 4/16/2018 and found out my federal was never sent. Sent it that night. Found out the next day it was denied. Trying to pay my taxes now, and the program is not available!! Who's going to pay the penalties?
Not happy with Payment prompts; poor instructions.

This software is normally very simple and easy to use. However, I am very disappointed with the lack of prompting to pay what I owed. I knew I had to pay, but the manner of which the software said "how" I could pay through the software left me wondering what to do next. I had to dig to find where and how; not HRBlock's normal presentation. Not pleased with everything else looking nice and working smoothly just to end the process with poor payment instructions and links.
