Several of my co-workers pay for someone to prepare their taxes, but it isn't really necessary. H&R Block software guides you through the entire process by asking you a series of simple questions. This make it easy, even if you are self employed or have a small business. At the end, the software checks for errors and alerts you if there are problems that might flag an audit. Anyone can do their own taxes!
Program works good but I had to pay to e-file when I purchased Deluxe with one state e-file. My understanding was it came with one state e-file included, seems deceptive
The H&R Block software makes it quick and easy to do the federal income tax return. I have used it for about seven years now and it is very efficient. I did not use the software for my state return, because it costs too much and it does not take very long to do the state return on our state's department of taxation website.
The software is easy from loading onto your computer to going through your taxes. For 10 + years I have trusted H&R Block and have always been pleased.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
