I completely trust this program and use it every year for my taxes. I love how it walks you through and makes it easy, and also suggest ways to help you make sure you do it right.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
All tax prep companies are built on donations, or what many would consider bribes, to congressmen to prevent the IRS from just having this as free and standard for everyone. Almost all European countries already do this and their taxes are very simple.
Cons: Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Been using TaxCut for about 20 years and it has never failed me! Even with complex investment statements the Deluxe version has handled K-1 forms with aplomb. Note for best results get the best version, but the IRS has never questioned my TaxCut-generated returns. Imports data from the previous year when necessary and most importantly imports data from Brokerages so I don't have to enter everything manually. Huge time saver.
I have used this software for many years. I have never been audited even though my tax situation is fairly complicated. I trust this software completely
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Every year we buy the same packet, and and up having to pay to efile state taxes...and i'm not sure how but the returns i filed are "gone" and i can't check the status. It looks like it started new returns when i reopened the software.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Firstly, the exe would not download (did not appear in download folder) using Mozilla Firefox even though it completed properly. I lost 2 download attempts doing that. Fortunately, I reached a terrific rep right away who assisted me in successfully downloading it via Microsoft Edge. When entering certain tax-exenpt portions of INT and DIV income, instead of subtracting from the total shown when complete, it added, implying more income was generated instead of less (taxable). I would like better explanations when the interview simply directs the user to fill out the underlying form. In particular, when identifying an estimated tax penalty, it would be extremely helpful to identify the quarter(s) that did not confotm. This took me a long time to figure out because one payment was 2 days late. Finally, I'd like to see page or Form selection on printouts of official returns to allow for minor changes limited to a subset of forms to be printed instead of having to reprint the entire return.
