I am a volunteer tax counsellor and am required to use TaxSlayer software. And many times I have wished I could use H&R Block tax software instead. The only thing I don't like with H&R Block software is with form 8949 and the inability to use the multiple transactions in a single row (M) AND nondeductible wash sales (W) simultaneously, when reporting covered transactions. I am forced to subtract the wash sales and report them separately. So this is much easier to do using other software. But I like everything else about H&R Block and choose it for my and my sisters personal taxes instead of filing free using the software I use as a volunteer.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
This product works ok for federal taxes, but state products vary widely. The DC version is a disaster.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Was easy to use, but said my taxes were paid with filing extensions and didn't file extensions and didn't follow through with sending payment. I called irs today and still owed the taxes plus penalty!!! Very disappointed with accuracy.

Expectations reached based on prior years of using H&R Block software. At times, the walkthrough questions seemed redundant, but I trusted that the appropriate behind-the-scenes forms were completed. Upon final review all seemed well.
