Software works pretty well. I use for business (several rental properties). There are a few sections where if you answer the questions in a straightforward manner, you will create multiple entries for the same expense/income, so you have to double-check.
We have used HR Block software for many years. Taxes have changed with new standard hire standard deduction limits etc. but this software has not not It asks questions than made it longer than needed to complete this years taxes and many were confusing. It was hard to understand why we got so many warnings when the real numbers and truthful answers were provided. Some examples were for dependent children and for charitable deductions,
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare

My returns are somewhat more complex than a 1040EZ. However, the H&R Block software handled it easily and guided me through the process. When I submitted the return, I felt that I had found all the deductions available to me.

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
The application does OK with the basic stuff, but it comes up short on the complicated stuff. For the annualized income worksheet, it tells you to go figure it out on your own and then enter the numbers. It also has trouble with amended returns. Often the instructions are nonsense, and you have to figure it out by trial and error. A Premium version should do better. Lastly, it refuses to run unless you have a recent version of the OS, despite the fact that it's a simple (somewhat buggy) HTML app that hasn't been updated in over a decade and it would run on any OS.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
