I have been using H&R Block tax software for a number of years now and up until the last two tax seasons I have been quite satisfied. However, after doing my taxes the last two seasons, the software indicated that I would be receiving a nice refund but on both occasions the IRS rejected the results and sent me a refund that was substantially smaller.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
