I've been using H&R Block tax software for years and continue to be satisfied with the product and results. I really liked the "ask AI assistant as you go" feature this year. Little concerned that price of the program has risen a fair amount the last few years, but sticking with it for now.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have used your program first over a decade. This year there was a problem...IRS rejected my taxes because the AGI did not match what the program a ND my paper copy said. No idea why. Will have to mail instead of e-file now.

This is a good product! I found it easy to complete the federal version. The state version wasn’t as comparably easy as the federal version. I’ll keep using the free state provided version.

It took me through a complicated process, and I have no reason to think it didn't complete my return properly. But it's hard to navigate sometimes. I couldn't figure out how to enter the estimated state tax payments I made through the year, and when I finally found a help message telling me I had to enter it in the same place I entered the federal estimated tax payments, it gave me a list of steps to navigate through the interface. I had to take a picture of the screen because there were too many steps to remember; it would have been nice if it just gave me a button to go straight to that screen. It would have been even nicer if it just put that step in a more intuitive location, such as the state tax adjustments.
Sometimes when I want to check on some detail in the return, it makes me go step-by-step through a segment of the return creation process to get to the correct screen.
I'm annoyed by the way when it tells me to check something that may or may not be okay, it still shows the warning after I've checked it because there's no way to tell it that I've confirmed the detail it was questioning.
It's also annoying that every time I exit the return or close the program, it asks me if I want to save the file, even if I hadn't changed anything. It always has me second guessing whether I accidentally changed something.
Honestly, the only reasons I keep using this product every year is that it seamlessly imports information from previous years to start and submit the current return, and I don't want to have to learn a new program.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to prepare
