I have used this software for approx. 20 years. Gets harder to use and more confusing every year now. This year I downloaded it and my "key" was automatically added. When I went to submit, the "key" was rejected. After considerable research I was able to reach a customer service rep who gave me a replacement number. Pretty frustrating..
I find it easy to use and very complete. Importing/uploading tax documents is simple, efficient and accurate. Has E-filing (federal free) or print/mail filing processes that are fast. It is also one the appropriately priced tax software packages out there that offers the items I need to complete my taxes. Less than half of the version I was using previously. I have only used the deluxe version but I am extremely pleased and would recommend it highly.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast
Everything worked well until the final few steps. When I got to the filing portion, your software did not provide any option for filing status (when I filed last year, a screen came up asking how I filed; single, married filing jointly, head of household, etc.). When I entered our AGI, it was rejected because it said what I entered did not my spouses AGI, yet there was no option to choose showing married filing jointly. Your help desk folks said it was an IRS problem, but your software did not allow me to choose. I had to print & mail.
I have been using H&R Block software for over 20 years. I find it takes the worry out of filing taxes and assures me I have filed accurately and will get the most I deserve in refunds. It's easy and complete. What more do I need to say.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
While tax prep has become much easier these days, this software interview provides good insurance that I'm not overlooking anything, and allows me to try different scenarios easily, for a reasonable cost.

Software is reliable and gets the job done - but lacks the polished user interface of the other big guy. Automatic updates, decent e-filing options without up-sell.
The H&R Block tax software is easy to use with step-by-step guidance and help available to guide you through the tax filing process. I use it to do my taxes every year, along with the taxes if my daughters and granddaughters.
