Excellent Product!

Switching over from TurboTax to HR Block was the best choice! I love the program, it is so fast and easy, and user friendly. It offers lots of assistance if needed and makes everything super simple. I will never use anything else!

Friendly, Non-Intimidating process

This was very easy to use! I even went through the rental property process with depreciation items and everything - for the first time on my own. It was a smooth and friendly feeling process.
