I have been using this software for years, and the thing I have noticed is the deterioration in free assistance. It used to be you could get help via a customer discussion forum, but I have not been able to locate that anymore. Even worse, this year I had a technical question on the use of the software, not strictly tax related, and the "help" I got was not helpful at all. I ended up having to turn to reddit, which actually ended up being a great move for me!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
For the second year in a row I have had significant incomplete forms produced. Both rejected by Comptroller of Maryland Tax authority. Last it resulted in a 9month delay in receiving our tax refund. Concerned I had the this years HR Block forms reviewed by personnel at the Comptroller’s Office; and informed of multiple missing entries/fields not completed. They did my taxes for me. I have been a Kiplinger then HR Block tax software utilizer for over 20 years, and thought to try again this year despite last year’s delay. I will go otherwise next year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have only one reason for this not being a 5-star rating: your platform is built on Microsoft Internet Explorer. They no longer support that browser, but luckily I was able to download IE for your software. Chrome or Edge have been out for years. Why haven’t you updated your end? Get after it.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
