This software is very easy and thorough. I especially like the option to electronically file both federal and state taxes together. I have used this software for years but I believe that even a first time user will be surprised how easy and completely thorough it is.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've been using H&R Block Software for several years. It's easy to navigate. The "Save your work reminders" prevent too hasty exiting of the program that would require re-work. Seamless transfer of data from earlier returns speeds work completion.
I've been using this software for over a decade (since back when it was called TaxCut), and have always had great results with little difficulty. The program is easy-to-use and guides you through a series of questions to maximize your return or make sure you aren't paying more than you need to. Great online resources and they even have real, live people who will answer your call if you have any questions or if you have any technical difficulties.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Easy to understand text. I have been using this program for several years. My husband believed in H & R Block and after he passed I took over the taxes and found it very easy for me to understand and use.
Very intuitive tax program, with excellent guidance built in for our not-so-simple investments. This is our fourth year using H&R Block Fed+State. Although very familiar with a main competitor's product, THIS is the one for us, year after year.
