I used Turbo Tax from 1990 to 2014.

But Turbo Tax kept increasing its price so I decided to look for something more reasonably priced.

My son recommended HR Block which he had been using for several years.

I have been using HR Block basic tax software for five years now.

I find the HR ?Block software to be as good or better than TurboTax for a fraction of the price.

In fact, I find the HR Block software to be much quicker and more user friendly than TurboTax.

Our tax return involves quite a few different situations and the HR Block basic program handles everything, including importing a TurboTax file. If you convert from TurboTax to Block.

I am a retired CPA and I highly recommend the HR Block basic software. I think it is a great value.

I always use H&R Block Tax Software and find it easy to use. But I was really disappointed when I found out that the only way to get the 5% refund bonus if you put your tax refund on an Amazon gift card. I can understand if the 5% bonus had to be a gift card but not my whole refund.

Easy to accidentally order the CD-Rom version instead of the digital download version because the page says "digital services", so it's confusing. Be sure to click which version you want on the order page.

Same Taxcut software as every year, not the most intuitive but gets the job done well enough... especially if your taxes aren't too complicated.

I've been using H&R Block software for at least 10 years. I've always found it easy to use and if you do get stuck with something the programs doesn't explain well the tech support is very good. We've never had the IRS question our returns and the free E-files are worth the price of the software.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2019
I have noticed on this order and all of my 2018 year end purschases that the purchase price is ABSOLUTELY NOT the end chagrge on my credit card. This is in direct contrast to 2017 where it was easy to track the purchases and tax basis. This is disturbing because not only can I no longer track purchases accurately based on what I agreed to purchase, but Amazon is up-charging without a credit card holder's permission... CLASS ACTION SUIT! I tried to contact AMazon about this, but there is NO way to contact a human and consumers just get run-around... Amazon has finally outgronw themselves....

Just like old TaxCut
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2019
There were a couple places that it basically tells you to "go figure out what amount belongs in this box." It did that in the HSA form, which isn't a very complex form or an unusual one. That kinda defeats the point of paying for the software.
