Overall good tax preparation software with some notable issues. There is often not enough on-screen text to explain the ‘why’ behind entries the preparer is taking. The UI text is extremely small and cannot be enlarged, which adversely affects readability/usability.
Pros: Easy to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using this program for many years, and really like how easy it is to use. This year the server went down the day before taxes were due which was really stressful since it wasn't letting me file my return. They did fix it and I was able to file on time.
H&R Block software is a great product. Every once in a while I need to experiment a little to get it to do something that I believe should be easier.

(I have to make an adjustment on the form of the entry screen rather than just using the screen itself and there are 2 places that look correct, but the software doesn’t like one of them.) I tried using the online product. It seems to be really good for simple returns. When you have complex situations though I’ve found errors in it. This year I wasn’t able to use the Qualifying Widow filing status. The IRS and the software both said I qualified.
I have been using H & R download for about 20 years. Had so much trouble getting it to update it that am thinking of switching, Took me a whole day to get it updated. The also I didn’t get a free state program, which used to go with premium,
