Overall, the software works well and the screens are fairly clear. Some could use rework to be closer to federal forms. Block software includes schedule D but not state forms. Turbo includes state but not schedule D. I decided to use Block since I can do state manually.
I switched from Turbo Tax about 5 years ago when they hiked up their prices, and haven't looked back. The H&R Block software makes things easy: a lot of info from past returns is auto generated for you (tax id, dependents, etc) and there are good explanations offered within each section to help ensure you're providing the correct #'s.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
