I’ve used H&R Block Tax software for many years and find it clear and easy to use. It takes the choir out of doing my taxes. It keeps me from forgetting things. Filing online is simple and easy and so much better than printing, filing and mailing paper returns. I’ve never had a problem with the software. Before H&R Block tax software I used to hate doing taxes. But I actually find this fun.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Overall it gets the job done. Cons: 1) Cannot change font size on desktop (Mac) version. Frustrating. 2) Cannot go from form to interview question. I want to know how an entry in the form was calculated.
The software has a consistent look and feel from year to year. It also retains and imports information from previous years and also from reporting organizations. Straight forward transitions from one segment to the next make tax preparation seemless. Also, processes for complex financial transactions are handled accurately and efficiently.
I'd probably use something else if you have a Mac.

The software kept crashing as I entered data in on my MacBook Air as I entered stock sales. I lost a lot of time re-entering data. Eventually I used the Save shortcut after every entry.
For a tax program, H&R block is fairly easy to use. I have investments and rentals and was able to add everything fairly easily through step by step instructions. The validations at the end are great too to help reduce errors.
