I've been using Tax Cut / H&R Block tax software for years... but the dialog that asks about RMDs needs work. In particular, my RMD and Federal withholding information is reported to me on a 1099R form which is automatically loaded during the income gathering portion of the guide. However later, when questions are asked about whether an RMD was taken during the year, the responses that make sense to me cause the software to double count my required RMD... and report that I owe double the withholding. This is confusing and should be corrected.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund

I have used this product for a few years now. I've never had a problem. This year for some reason the program would not accept 1099 misc. royalty (very small oil & gas) as copy 1. Finally got it to work as copy 2, then deleted copy 1. Never had this happen in years past.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!
