I would recommend the H&R block software only because we have little choice in the matter. The US tax code is unnecessarily complicated and companies like this work hard to keep it this way. Why do they do this? So we have little choice but to buy their software. The software is good, easy to use and works for all the wrong reasons.
Very good product with consistent year to year feel and format. I would suggest the IP PIN be moved to the personal information section. Hard to find currently.
I have been using H&R Block software for years. Its reliable and accurate. It asks questions that i might of never thought of to i sure the .y fili g is accurate and complete.
The program is so easy to use. After doing my taxes one year, I can import the file into the next year's tax return to make it even easier to complete my return!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
As usual the software design is pretty intuitive and easy to use. The worst part for me is making the corrections at the end in order to file. That is the most challenging part because you really have to understand the options and their impact on the success of filing an acceptable return.
