using hr block for years now , very easy using this familiar software to do my taxes ,, you cannot and donna even try to do it manually,, you will waste days reading and trying to calculate your taxes ,,, it is too difficult and every years the govt irs makes it harder too .. that you have to use a package like this .. the download was easy and the same for all the past years too .. and of course in the past couple years ,,i think it force you to windows 10 or better to run the software

Purchased this tax software every year for my tax filing

I have been using this software (originally called Tax Cut) for over 40 years to complete our (married filed jointly) Federal and State taxes. I am amazed at IRS's tax complexity of something that could and should be so simple. But using this HR Blook Tax Software, it is much easier and definitely more accurate versus my pencil and calculator. Affordable, especially if you are able to purchase on Best Buy's "Deal of the Day". Completing annual taxes is nothing more than filling out the software's questionnaire. And then suppling data from tax forms received from employers, financial institutions, and other government agencies. Very doable! I also like the ability to somewhat calculate next year's taxes by plugging in different amounts for projected results. Not exact due to new tax law unknowns, but it does get you into the ballpark, just not front row seats... Used to include a CD that had the core software, but now that appears to be an obsolete method of software distribution. I get it, in all cases one must still download a current version with sporadic updates as the IRS and Tax Software companies get in sync with form changes. Last year my NC State failed to download and I had to contact HR Block Tech Support. They sent me a private link to another version of the NC State tax app. That worked, so I have to acknowledge support is available. This year, I did not encounter any download issues. Note that I continue to use HR Block Tax Software not necessarily because I believe it is superior to other tax software, but because it pulls in our previous year's core information and forms submitted. Save me time versus starting from scratch. Bottom Line: Very easy to navigate, plus I have never been audited using HR Block Tax Software!

Easy to install. Easy to use as long as you answer the questions. Software computes tax owed and fills out the Federal tax forms. Allows you to file electronically. Price is competitive to Turbotax.

This is my go-to tax software. My returns are not super complicated, so H&R Block makes them even easier. It transfers info from previous returns, then it walks me through step by step. I like the accuracy check feature, and the ability to save a submit multiple federal returns. You get one free state return, then there is a charge for addition State returns. Check the package for number of free filings. Electronic filing is easy and helps to get returns faster. I normally buy my software early in the tax season and work in small bits as documents arrive.
