I have been using H&R Block software for the past twelve years. I have never had a problem with my tax returns, they have always been accepted by the IRS. I get my refunds electronically and within a month at the outside, usually two to three weeks. When I have to pay, the funds are withdrawn on the closing date for the return.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Have been using this software for many years and it is so easy to use and I always get the maximum refund with minimum or no audit at all. Great value for the price and service it provides. Will always use this software for my ITR.

Fairly easy to use but I feel like the interview process has gotten more "lazy" over the years -- more barely explained checklists and less exposition for guidance. I encountered an apparent error in the "accuracy review". It said that I needed to "answer the question below" but there was no question below highlighted so I had to search the whole form for any omissions. I finally found it but it was most annoying having to hunt for it.
Overall, considering the complexity of taxes and the relatively low cost of the program, it is a good value, but I think I'd rather pay a little more for something which made the process easier.
After years of doing my taxes on paper, and last year making the mistake of filing my taxes directly on the IRS and state websites, I am so glad I purchased H&R Block's Deluxe Software this year. After answering their questions on my itemized deductions, knowing that the federal standard deductions would prevail, I was delightfully surprised to find that they used the itemized deductions for my state. Lo and behold, I am getting much more money in both federal and state returns than I thought I would. The cost of H&R Block's software more than paid for itself. I will use them from now on without a second thought.
