Used HR Block software for several years now. It has been a really good product. I especially like that you can import detailed data (1099s) regarding investments from the major investing companies.
Good product but failed during federal e-filing. Also, at least one state e-filing should be included. Import of W2 & 1099 did not work for some cases
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product was so bad for my tax situation that I am in the process of returning it, and has ZERO tax assistance. Taxes are already frustrating enough--you don't need this software to make it worse. This software has no ability to file married jointly for federal, and different state returns if spouses have different state residencies. The software instructs you to create three returns, and file each one individually, but then makes assumptions on the State returns that makes your numbers wrong, AND won't let you e-file the state return, so you have to mail it in. There is no way around this. Additionally, there is NO tax help, only "software support" which is for like "how do I install my software". The support desk didn't even understand my situation and took 45 mins just to tell me they "couldn't find an answer". I had to essentially learn the tax code myself and double-check all the software's automatic work (I found errors!). Finally, the interface looks like it's from the 90s. I'm switching to TurboTax next year, it is very much worth the money.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've used H&R Block for years. The "Jump to Related" never seems to work as easily as it should, and was VERY disappointed when I couldn't eFile my Federal Returns on April 14 and April 15. Running to the library to print the returns and post office to mail them was very inconvenient when I paid for an easier option.

Had trouble with program not updating figures after making changes, even when I used the recalculate button. Closing program and restarting finally worked. Just found the back and forth of trying to bring up forms heavy handed. Trouble printing return before it was filed. The only reason I would use it again is because it costs so much less than competitor.
Cons: Time consuming

I have been using this for over 20 years and find it the best for all my circumstances. Added a business gig and it helped me do it right and saved on taxes.
