Tax software does a good job with basic needs. With a little more advanced needs, you need to understand the tax laws so that you can get the software to do what needs to be done. You can't blindly file a return that includes any items that are beyond a basic tax return.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is getting later and later when all forms for the average tax payer are complete. I understand it is out of your control, but I would make it clearer for the user to know what forms that they are using that are not finalized. Yes, you can find it in the software but it took me several years to figure it out. Make it simple to see and understand.
I have used H&R Block for the past 10 years. It's easy to use, the program prompts for input as you go, and some financial institutions can download data directly to the program (very handy). E filing is great and free. You get your refund really quick; I mean sometimes in just a week.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have purchased this for 5+ years and have been consistently pleased. It’s error checking has saved me from headaches and it’s help functions are easy to navigate.
Simple and easy to understand considering it's attached to the IRS. But it is getting way to pricey- many free sites now available. Think about giving long time users a big discount before you loose them to the free sites.

Doesn’t handle many of the codes on a K-1. I had an issue where it was treating a loss as a gain. I called support via chat. . Uploaded my return. They agreed it was a “software glitch “. Asked me to hold while they ran it up the line. After 45 minutes I realized they were gone. Never got it fixed so I did my own work around. Very disappointing . Good for easy returns .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
