I continue to use this product year after year, 14 years+. Easily imports previous year data, making preparing current year returns quick and easy. Works fine on the Windows 10 system I use for household activities. You do need to purchase state tax software separately from within the program, but it integrates well and allows e-filing of both returns in the same session. Has made getting refunds quick for me, ranging from 5 days to two weeks between submission and EFT deposit in my bank account. Filing earlier got the refunds earlier, so now I file in early February. Great product, highly recommended.

Price ($30 when on sales) is decent... Software is OK (same as previous years) and I have been using it since 1990's under TaxCut. Download is cumbersome compared to the past years. Install and import 8 profiles from last year... Just wait till Feb-Mar to enter more data and to file. BTW, I just bought another copy like this one (Dec 29., $25 @ newegg), because I have 8 people's income taxes... Each copy can do only 5 efiling... Tax is tax and if you know how to do manually, you can use any software to speed it up...

I read numerous complaints in the reviews about difficulty downloading the software. The complaints to me seem unfounded! I experienced no issues. I purchased it, immediately receive an email with the activation code and site download address. Went to the site, followed the instructions. The whole process was seamless, simple and quick. Software was downloaded and installed within 5 minutes. I suggest double-checking your activation code entry when typing it in. The only other thing I can think of is that the complaining people may be having email server issues and/or internet access issues.

The process is straight forward to purchase and download. Instructions are immediately provided along with the H&R Block website to download and code to release. The software itself is a little bit old-school in looks, but the forms are always updated and the electronic filing works right through the program. I like having the software right on my computer where I can keep it for future use and/or reference. Doing my taxes year after year with the software is a breeze since it copies my information forward.

Works great, but you need to follow the download instructions that differ from prior years. Important note: Do not copy and paste the activation code. That is interpreted as an invalid entry. Just type the code without the dash which is inserted automatically. I am a tax specialist and CPA - been using this soft ware for 6 years. A few quirks like any program, but accurate. Printing menu could use some improvement, but not a big deal to me. I get 5 free Federal efiles and that is all I need.

This is my 8th year using Deluxe+State. I always buy the Black Friday sale. The first year took a lot of patience to get used to the software, but now it's a breeze. It's got a consistent format from year to year. I've always had to pay the extra $19.99 to e-file my state form; that's also been consistent. A lot of the reviews at this point are about the download. My download on a Win11 PC was fast and fairly easy. Here's how it works: --You can either go to your Amazon software library (there's a direct link in the order under Your Orders) or just look at the email Amazon will send you almost immediately after you order. Both the library and the email show your activation code and the URL from which to make the download. The download is made from a specific HR Block web address. The download does not come from Amazon. --Go to the web address, enter the code, and enter your registration info (first, last, address, city, state, zip, email). You have to enter something in each of those boxes or else you can't get to the download. --I got two different error messages because for whatever reason the code wasn't going through, but on the third time I re-entered it, I got through. When entering the code, just enter the alphanumerics. Don't enter the dash in the middle of the code. The website will automatically insert the dash. --Select whether it's for PC or Mac. --The download is an exe file. You can also make a backup copy of it to save to your cloud or usb storage. --The rest, for me, was to just let my PC do the install. I had no problems. However, my PC has no added-on security software. Not sure how it works if you have something like that on your pc.
