I used to do taxes professionally and have found HR Block to be as good as Turbo Tax in terms of ease of use, and better in some cases where I have to manually edit a form.
In fact every year I'll compare HR Block to Turbo Tax online for a select few people and find the results the same, if not more comprehensive with HR Block.
Turbo Tax has tried to screw over American tax payers for decades, starting in the 90's / 2000's by forcing its customers to register their tax software via server activation. This meant if your PC died, or you had to factory reset due to a virus, you could not reinstall the tax software, or reinstall it in later years to do an amended return. This alone causes me to stay away from Turbo Tax. Every year I have to file 2-3 amended returns for prior years, and with Taxcut it is super simple.
Now Turbo Tax tries to lobby congress to keep taxes complicated so people are forced to use its software. Also, Turbo Tax tries to hide the free tax filing option from eligible tax filers and have been taken to task for that.
No matter which way you spin it, Turbo Tax is evil and anti-consumer. Stop spouting BS that HR Block is worse than Turbo Tax. No way I'm going to let this fly.
Turbo Tax interface is easier in some ways, but HR Block's interface is fairly easy as will, and allows easy manual control of the forms for more complex situations.
Exactly.
Don't listen to the troll.
Exactly. Suckers pay way more for Turbo Tax because they listen to trolls and don't understand that alternatives are just as good, if not better.
I used their small setup launcher to install, which isn't the full software install (file downloaded was too small for full install). Did some snooping to find the full installer that it automatically downloaded. One can find the full installer for backup/copy purposes in your C:\Users\<Windows user login>\AppData\Local\Temp directory. For me, since I bought Deluxe + State, the file name is: HRBlock_Deluxe-State_CW.exe
To save you the constant forwarding, here is the dept that actually helped me.

I tried using a virtual CC from Privacy and got this.
TRANSACTION FAILED
An error occured during the transaction process.
This may be due to a variety of reasons, such as an invalid or expired credit card, or an invalid zip code. Your specific issue is described below.
R7 - Credit Card Failure. Request parameters are invalid or missing amount.
Over multiple version years H&R Block continues to contain critical mistakes especially calculations on state forms and lesser used forms. It just can't be trusted.

Unfortunately this year CashApp bought the tax section of CreditKarma. I'm hoping the process is the same or easier.
