Not hard, but some topics are not covered

This program is not hard to use. However, there are a few areas it does not cover. Those areas should be covered by the "premium" version, which including investments, rental, and self-employed. For example, Schedule K-1, the program says "The PTP (Public Traded Partnership) is beyond our scope." Users have to figure out some codes and manually fill in related forms.
I've been using H&R Block since you published booklets and ever since your went electronic and this was the WORST ever. Not only was it not self explanatory as in the past, buts its advice re separate vs joint was erroneous and caused me extra work and delay
I have used H&R Block for years now. I was a bit concerned with all the tax changes this year but they nailed it as usual! It's more than a just a tax prep software, you have a whole company and team behind you. The in-software support also educates you on the tax process so you have a understanding of the tax process. Can't say enough about this software package and company. - dc
I have tried two other companies and found that your product is far superior in keeping up with all aspects of rental properties. I have been frustrated each year in the way the penalty for not having health insurance is done. This year my insurance premiums would have been well over 60% of taxable income and your program said I had to pay the $695 penalty. I had to work hard to get the penalty off. .
DOESN'T work if it's rejected. I don't need to refile FED, but it keeps going back to filing FED. Email says just fix the problem. It DOESN'T show the problem other than rejected. I can see that HOW DO I FIX IT?
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
Decided to use H&R Block software this year and was very easy to use. Not familiar with the way the state is done and if the retirement income was taxed or not.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
