I have used H&R block Deluxe Federal & State software for several years, and found it overall satisfactory, but I do have a complaint: I lived several years in Germany and now receive payments from the German Social security System. You provide no way of entering these payments as a part of my Social Security, although I believe the German-American taxation agreement allows this. I must enter them as "Other Income" and end up being taxed on their full amount at the maximum rate.my total income allows. I consider this an annoying (and costly) flaw in your program.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
When filling out charitable contributions for donated clothes using deductionpro for thrift store values, form 8283 was generated. However, deductionpro did not fill in the cost basis field, which flagged during error review. I manually typed in a number, but then later went back to adjust it and was unable. Clicking "override" on the form editor for the cost basis field disabled my return from being submitted electronically.
Also, it would have been nice to be able to append the deductionpro itemized list of items as a supplementary part of the tax return for electronic submission.
