    I've been using the H&R Block Tax Cut software products for more than 10 years, with one attempt to use TurboTax several years ago. Obviously, I prefer the H&R Block series. I've been satisfied with the interface, the content, the ease of following it and the thoroughness of the Federal and California products. One note: I also use it to create a Minnesota return, and have not been as satisfied with the State product for Minn. On a few occasions over the last few years, it has sent me out of the software to track down certain Minn. forms, figure out how to complete them and what I need to take from them to input into the H&R Block software. I guess this is understandable - a product may not be able to cover all situations in all 50 states - but I don't think the situations were that out of the ordinary. I wish they'd beef up the Minn. state product but, as I mentioned, I use CA as the primary state product, and have been very pleased. I intend to continue using H&R Block.

    I have been using H&R Block tax software now for a few years. I does a good job walking you through the steps needed to complete your filings for both federal and state obligations. I went to using it from the Intuit product because of price and I am satisfied.

    If you're doing your taxes yourself, you'll need either H&R Block (formerly TaxCut) or TurboTax. I've used both in the past, and both are good enough at the common things, with gaps at the less common things--especially on the state taxes. There is actually a question in the state interview which essentially asks you if you need to file a form. Huh?--isn't the point of the interview to figure that out for you? But I had a similar experience with TurboTax so those failures don't set one apart from the other. Ultimately, the choice for me comes down to price and this year Block won when it was on sale.

    I can't compare this to any other tax program or service but my experience for 2016 was really quick & easy. I have a small online business and needed something with all the bells and whistles for a self-employed person so I purchased this one in store on sale. In total it took only a few hours to do all my taxes with this. Highly recommended if you have a small business or our self employed.

    Although I have a complicated return, this software makes it easy. Even after an amended return required, easy to complete and better yet IRS accepted.

    Great Tax Prep Program

    I have used H & R Block Tax Software for several years now with great results. It is easy for anyone to use as it will walk you through each line on your Federal and State Returns, if you need that detail of assistance. If you have more experience you can bypass the line by line instructions and enter the amounts in the areas you know you need to complete. If you use H & R Block software over several years it "remembers" your background information, employer info, other sources of income and expense info and guides you through each of these areas, allowing you to eliminate them or add more to them. The Premium Edition provides great guidance for completing the difficult Self Employed ( Schedule C) and Rental Property (Schedule E). I have not used the feature but it is suppose to import information from 3rd party sources such as Quicken. You also get five free federal e-files and one free State download. As a former State Tax Auditor and Administrator I have and would highly recommend H & R Block Tax Software to anyone preparing their own tax returns.

    Good software for DIY self-employed

    Self-employed people can save hundreds of dollars with DIY tax software instead of going into HR Block office for tax preparation. Same guarantee as in office and free audit help if needed. Software is easy and explains entries required. For the price, it a good deal. Certain complex areas require overriding the system, but most folks won't need these areas like straddle contracts in K-1.

    I use H&R Block Tax software ever year, and have for quite a few years now. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and offers good support. I have had occasion to use the tax help function, and the people there were very helpful and easy to talk to. I will continue to use this software for taxes as long as it's available.

    This software is very easy to use and with the state forms included it is a great way to do all your taxes. It is also cheaper than having someone else do your taxes therefore you can do it in the privacy of your own home and have control of the security of your own files. I highly recommend.

    I've used H&R Tax cut software for several years now and have always been satisfied with the results and ease of use. Considering we have a self-owned business and rental property the premium package can handle it all. I like the option of importing previous years data which cuts time with data entry.
