I[ve been using H and R Block tax prep software for about seven or eight years. It's easy to install and easy to import last year's returns. I have a small business of my own so I use the premium software, but also use it to do my children's taxes, both federal and state. Great value and it saves us a lot of time.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Every year it get harder to find the correct places. Ivan fill out a hand written form in lest then 25% of the time it takes to use your program.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'd expect the Premium version to cover all my needs but unfortunately for sine items, like schedule K, I had to do my own research to get my taxes done. I'd expect the Premium version to cover all aspects. The CA state software has similar issues. I plan to switch to the competitor next year to see if it's any better.

I’ve used H&R Block software for several years and I mainly continue using it because I understand its quirks and limitations. Two issues stand out to me. 1) The 1099-R input form for Federal retirees is not complete - you can’t add all the info on the 1099-R - so I always have to find a work-around for that. 2) I have rental property and input screens for that are such that expenses can easily be double counted if you’re not careful. I recommend the software to people with fairly simple returns, but caution those with more complex finances.
