Switched from Turbotax last year, never regretted it. However, the H&R block software could be a lot more user friendly. It seems counter intuitive at times. The error I received was confusing, and didn't just bring me to the field there was an issue with.

We’re so happy to hear you had a good experience. We appreciate your business and thank you for the valuable feedback!
I found the screen size to be difficult to work in. There were several glitches as well. “Other income” was duplicated when it pulled into the state form. At the end, some forms I didn’t need to file printed with forms to file and others I needed failed to print. All of this created additional work to resolve the issues.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this software for years and it continues to be a sound product. The interview is straightforward and user-friendly. Navigation is excellent with links that allow the user to jump to different parts of the interview or to different forms as needed. Filing electronically is also easy.
I have two suggestions for improvements. First, updates continue to happen well into March which makes filing your return early in the tax season disconcerting. Perhaps nothing can be done about this because the law is being updated, but if that’s not the reason, it would be nice to finalize the product earlier. Secondly, as far as I can tell, the user interface of the software hasn’t been upgraded since it was initially released years ago. The only problem with this is at screen resolutions of 1920 X 1080 (typical on contemporary monitors), the text is difficult to read particularly for older eyes. Because there is no mechanism within the software to zoom or change the color scheme to a higher contrast, the user is forced to change the resolution of the monitor. Otherwise, the user interface is fine.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
