I've used the H&R Block version for many years - going back 20+ years I think, when it was first a Kiplinger's product< not sure. It is incredibly important to me that H&R Block continue to provide this PC software package year after year. The ability to directly download all data from the previous year's files is of great value to me. My only complaint is that all forms are not ready by mid February. One form I need is apparently not going to be ready until March 5 (the Vermont 'Kiddy tax" form).
I’ve used the H&R Block software for 4 years now and have been totally satisfied. Extremely easy to use and accurate. I often can finish my taxes in an hour or two.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've used HR Block software for years on my taxes. Very easy, step by step. Checks for mistakes for you. They even offer to protect you in an audit. I'll keep using it.

I purchase this every year and also the state program. You want me to pay to file my state return whereas if I were to file my taxes with HR Block on line I can do it for free. You should be able to file your state return for free since you paid for your product. I may switch to another tax program if they offer free state filing.
