Been using Block Tax Software for at least the past 5 years. Always find it easy to use and efile return with no problems. One Issue: This year IRA distributions are lumped with other pension incomes reported on 1099-Rs and is not reported separately (ie 1040 Line 4a is blank) as on past returns. Had to go to the IRS on-line instructions to verify that this is correct. Would have been helpful, and time saving, if Block flagged this change in the instructions. Was confusing to me and others have posted the same issue on-line.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've used H&R Block Deluxe for three years after using Turbo-Tax for many years before that. I got tired of paying a premium for TT features I never used so I tried HRB Deluxe and am very happy. I did notice this year that when printing out both the federal and state returns that the page numbering (IRS and CA) was confusing and the CA return needed a blank page after the instruction sheet. HRB should add their own page number some where so clients are sure everything is in the right order or additional instructions on page order on the instruction sheet.
Makes completing taxes pretty easy, but.. a caveat

However, the Minnesota state tax program needs work. Minnesota does not mail out the information needed to file form M1PR, until the end of March. The online instructions need to be updated to include text telling us how to use the program to file the state taxes without this information, and then tell us how to use the program to complete form M1PR, once the necessary information is mailed out by the state of Minnesota.
I’ve been using H&R Block off and on for 20 years. I’ve tried some of the others but prefer H&R Block. I can do my taxes in less than an hour. No reason to pay a professional.
