I've used Turbotax in the past and found it to be better for more complicated tax matters. H&R Block was not as good handling the Schedule K information or in calculating and creating vouchers for estimated taxes for federal and state.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The security/authentication mechanism you use to register the main SW and to acquire the state module does not work on any enterprise WIndows PC that is managed by a company. Those PCs do not allow apps to initiate internet transactions, so I am unable to use your SW on the PC I normally use for everyday business. Luckily I have a secondary private PC that lets me continue using your product. Otherwise I would have to use a different tax-prep product instead.

It worked seamlessly. There were no red flags in the online return that was submitted, and in the end, I got my refund just over two weeks later. I will ask later, after the tax-season-dust settles, for clarification on one note that came up during the preparation, but this didn't compromise the return itself.

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
I bought the premium version, but it doesn’t address the scenario related to getting married in the middle of the year and switching to my husband’s health insurance. I used to have high deductible insurance and was eligible to save in a Health Savings Account. But my husband’s insurance is not a high deductible option. The software doesn’t cover the scenario and I am unsure if my filing was correctly handled.

very clunky compared to turbo tax. Seemed like the author had never done taxes before. I did get my taxes filed. Would probably not realized if not using turbo tax for the last 10 years.
Cons: Time consuming
