H&R is simple, thorough, and dependable . I have used it for years and trust the professional advice they offer for a reasonable cost. I do not believe you can do better for twice the price. My only criticism is they do not allow me as much control over what I print, and they are being conservative there in that want me to have what they think I may need later in some future review. This is an absolutely excellent product on every level and I recommend it highly. If you can read, you can be your own professional tax advisor.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
This is the second year I have used the software and it is super simple and provides great directions for someone like me that has zero knowledge of IRS requirements. Intend to use it next year.

Easiest to use of all tax prep software I've ever used. Intuitive and helpful when needed. I will continue to use H&R Block tax prep software until I never have to file again.

USERS SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE ON WHETHER THEY WOULD LIKE THEIR CHECK SENT DIRECT DEPOSIT OR HAVE IT MAILED TO THEM. IT TOOK MUCH TOO LONG AS YOUR PROGRAM INSISTED I SUPPLY BANK ROUTING NUMBER AND CHECK AND SAVINGS ACCOUNT NUMBERS. ELDERLY USERS WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS UNNECESSARY DEMAND. OTHERWISE IT IS VERY GOOD TAX PROGRAM.
The basic version provided good coverage of expected forms, and the error-checking sections found forms that were missing addresses, tax ID, or withdrawn state taxes. The software saved time, while capturing adjustments to reduce my federal tax payment. Definitely worth the purchase price.
