I have been using H&R Block tax software to prepare and file tax returns for myself and for my adult children for many years. Recently I decided to take the IRS Volunteer tax preparer certification exam which mandated that I use Tax Slayer product. The difference between the two products was sufficient to cause me to withdrawal from the volunteer program entirely. H&R Block simplifies a very complex tax code so that most people can comply with ease.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
Software is kept updated with IRS changes. Process selects correct forms and does accuracy and quality checks along the way. Couldn’t be more user friendly!

I have used this software successfully for years and I have never had any problems with it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great tax software program.
As of late March, there is still no version available to actually file my return. There are errors in the review part of the program that give nonsense feedback. The stock sale form doesn't check for reasonableness on purchase/sale dates. Several sections provide no question/answer input; just bring up the form. For some unknown reason, there are forms presented which aren't needed and can't be bypassed. I have used this program for years and have never seen such a pathetic version.
