I bought this via subscription last year, and when I sought to download it, I couldn't, requiring me to go through a long process of proving to HRBlock that I had actually paid for it. After several lengthy tries, HRBlock finally admitted that I had a valid, paid subscription, and allowed me to download the program.
In using the program, I found that it didn't have a competent process of entering information from my Schedule C, and there was no interview or step-by-step procedure for entering the information, or matching the entries to the line items on my schedule C.
The rets of the program was easy to use, but for business income and deductions from Sch. C, it was poorly structured and difficult to use.
Next year I won't be subscribing, but buying it as a stand-alone, and hopefully, they will have upgraded the Sch. C entry portion, and I won't have the same difficulty I had this year.
Cons: Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents

I have used HRB for years, since switching to another program seems cumbersome. Most reviews indicate difficultly with maintaining accuracy during conversion. That being said, HRB disappoints with failure to import previous years depreciation entries. Always requires checking last year’s return before input of current year depreciation. (Yrs of item depreciation do transfer) but not details. State program has always been mediocre. Many items require off line calculations and/or forms. HRB you need to up your game on State filing, better importing, detailed instruction, and explanations.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall. While we aim for 5-star satisfaction, we understand that there may be areas where we can improve. We appreciate your business and value your input.
Software glitches (deleted forms keep reappearing, items not carried from one form to another per IRS guidance) Agent not expert with the software and completely unable to help. Double standard for chat time (cut off at three minutes but make us wait for much longer) Won't be using your service next year.
Pros: Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have used H&R Block software for at least 10 years. Return rejected by IRS with no help from H&R to fix before submittal and the comments with the rejection could not be understood. Very Disappointed. Will not be a user next year
