This program is very easy to use and very thorough no matter how complex you tax situation is. Various members of my family use it and with 5 free Federal e-files included well worth the price.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
maybe its just the tax code but this software seemed very ambiguous. Explanations were ridiculously simple and grossly inadequate. I got the feeling that i was being coerced to upgrade both software and consultation. The state software is outrageously priced.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My go to for tax preparation

I have been using this software for over twenty years. This year my PC failed, and I had to start over after a lot of work. As, VITA tax volunteer I have recently become familiar with Taxslayer, and I tried it. But, it did not have all features of H&R Block’s program, especially the ability to hand 1099-MISC income as non-self employment income. I went back and redid my taxes again with H&R Block’s software and saved $2K.
I have used the H & R software for several years and it makes the process easy and comfortable.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

Forms for filing - print only basic forms

The program is easy to use. My only complaint is that when I want to print out a form for filling for my records, it prints lots of extra supporting pages with no option not to print them. For example for 1040, I want only the first 2 pages for my personal use. Also I want to be able to print a form 1040 even when the short form is what goes to the IRS.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything I needed

Easy step by step program to walk you through the forms.
Almost no support, interview questions are not clear and don't include all possibilities. The help button sends you directly to the IRS site, where you must fish for the answers.Makes even the most basic taxes, complicated. I'm 59 and have been doing my taxes a long time, we don't have anything special. But tax rules have changed over the years. I have been using this software for several years. I think I will spend a little more next year and go with someone else.
