Due to a long-planned family event, I had less time than usual. I was afraid I would not be able to finish it until close to the deadline, but it won't so smoothly that I finished before we left for the event.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Overall the program is solid- I've been using it for years because it's cheaper than Turbotax. However, for the second year in a row, the update feature DID NOT WORK from within the program. I had to go to the website & download the updates manually, which isn't super easy, because finding the right site takes some doing. Also, the State program refused to install from within the main program. I had to contact Technical Support and be sent a link to download & install it.
I have been using HRB's software since before it was "HRB," but rather "TaxCut." I loved it from day one. I have used several different tax software programs over the years while helping friends and family members with their tax returns, plus I actually worked as a tax preparer for HR Block a few years. I may use other companies' products for those I help, but for my own returns and those of my sons', I choose Block. It is the easiest and most comprehensive tax software available to 'laymen.'
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
