My favorite Tax Software

I'm retired military living overseas and I've been using this software for my tax return since 2003. Except for last year (2017) when the download was blocked for overseas customers, so I had to revert to another popular product. But this year it worked again with no problems and I intend to continue using it as long as possible. I have one recommendation for improvement: the program should have a built in link, to download next years version to registered customers.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
Used H&R a couple of years ago but not last year. The tax software I used last year was terrible. H&R Blocks product is excellent. Easy to use and economical. Will continue to use this product in the future.
I have used HR block software for a few years now, and am generally happy with it. However, as simple as my taxes are, I expect the software to be perfect. It imports data from the previous year, which often speeds up the process. Unfortunately, the software added my state tax return from last year to my income from last year even though I took the standard federal deduction last year. I believe the software was confused because I itemized my state return. This error would have cost me over $100 had I not caught it.
