I have been using H&R Block tax software for a few years now. The program is pretty straightforward. It makes my fairly simple tax filing easy and does not take a lot of time.
Easy to use. Updates on program gives latest changes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy for most things, but not software updates

I have been using H&R software for 12 years after becoming frustrated with another products endless questions rather than the ability to skip sections that did not apply to me. This year I only had two issues, the lack of the product to automatically include a carryover loss and problems updating. I had to manually enter something that, unless tax laws change, will be applicable for several more years for a limited business loss. Then when I went to file I got a message that I needed to update, but could not do it either automatically or manually. Fortunately online chat got me a link to download a fully up to date full program and installing that fixed the problem. I question why full installs are not the norm over update files which are only about half the size of the full program.
I've used this software for years and love it. So easy to use, lots of instructions, ability to look at individual forms, free federal e-filing, all instructions needed for filing by mail, etc. Our taxes are fairly simple, and we don't use all the available festured. I know the program could handle more complex circumstances.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents, Fast

Loved it - the only issue was K-1 Line 20 AH info wasn't clear - had to call a CPA to figure out if I needed to enter an amount other than zero and file Form 8890
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast

Easier Every Year

Easier each year because Block adds shortcuts and features each year, not that I’m personally getting better at doing taxes. The brief tutorials are especially useful and based on my state return (AL) the unique complexities of the state return now are captured and information entry is just as easy as in the Federal return.
