Basically reliable software with some minor annoying features. I liked the easy interview format and the ability to import data from previous returns. Towards the end of the process, I was asked to create a 5-digit PIN; at the same time an inconspicuous Help question noted I must use a pre-assigned 6-digit PIN. It turned out that to advance to the next page I had to enter the pre-assigned PIN elsewhere in the return AND create a new 5-digit PIN.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been using this for years. It does most of the grunt work for me and guides me through the process. No need to thumb through those tedious government manuals and forms. I'm prompted for everything I need and fills in the blanks from my previously filed taxes. Once I've gathered any forms I may need it takes less than an hour to complete both federal and state returns.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast

The software does what I need it to do however the user interface does not support making the text larger unless important stuff gets pushed off the screen. This means I zoom the text bigger so I can read the screen, I enter the fields I can see and then I have to reduce the text size back to tiny so I can click on the 'next' button. This needs to be upgraded!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents

It is a very good product. However, I wonder why it is necessary. In all civilized countries, the government itself provides a free app to e-file tax returns. So we Americans are getting scammed

The H&R Block deluxe program for federal is pretty good, but some of the questions and Interviews are not specific enough nor clear enough. For example, the question "Did you contribute to an IRA?" Should be clarified that this is a standalone IRA not one with an employer or rollover or conversion. Several questions are unclear and too vague. In the state (Maryland), there are similar issues and parts completely unexplained.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare

Works well. State tax not being included in the 5 e-filings is not obvious. No apparent way to back out of paying for state once you commit. What use is 5 filings to most people who only file once, using a second filing for state would be beneficial and save money.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
