I have been using H&R Block tax software since 1996. I have never had any problems, never been audited, and the software is easy to use. The ability to file electronically is very convenient and trouble free. I wouldn't use anything else!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
The software does a good job of walking you through most of the general individual 1040 process. Also state returns. Some explanations are sometimes to general and leaves a uncertain direction to be taken, that may cause a need to contact a specialist. Audit process is very good

Easy to use. Return is quick.A large portion of the information is downloaded from the year before. The only drawback is the cost of filing the state electronically.
I have used HRB for many years, and it has been well done, guiding me through various scenarios. I have a little concern about the state taxes, which feel like an afterthought. I can understand completely that state tax preparation depends on the state's cooperation, but I recently figured out that my state (refund) was not issued because my state rejected my return, even though the Feds accepted it. This will likely be a painful process. So, HRB could be better on the state tax side.
Easy step by step instructions. Gives advice on what is most likely choice. Allows you to choose what to print out for your records. Reminds you to save.
