Finding the right tax software is a challenge. H&R Block works and asks the questions the way I would approach the problem. I tried TurboTax, and while it is also good, just did not work like I think. I have been using H&R Block tax software for 16 years now and as long as they keep the same architecture and approach, I will continue using it happily.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I used to prepare a joint return with a W-2 a simple schedule K-1 and itemized deductions and it took way to long to figure it out and get the right refund amount.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
I've used this software for years on my taxes dating back to when it was Tax Cut. It's always been very simple and easy to use. I like the help screens and chats that are available and I've never had any problems once my returns were filed. I highly recommend it.
Some places, I was not sure if it was asking about facts/numbers about me, or facts/numbers about my wife. That could be made clearer. On Schedule E (and C?) questions, keep the name of the property on the screen that the user is working on.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Using this program for the second year in a row. Had to submit my taxes 3 times because the program changed the birth year of 2/3 social security numbers claimed. Minor mistakes to be sure, but easy to over look.
I have been using this software over 10years and I love it. It is easy and straight forward I explained to friends and family they don't need any special training. If you can read you will understand this program. It makes rental business and personal taxes easy...no accountants needed
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
