I have been using H&R Block Tax software for 15+ years. It has always been reliable, well organized, and clear about structuring my income tax returns. Both Fed and State.

Program works okay for the basics but is not very thorough when it comes to how to handle college costs and use of a 529 plan. The state version was going to allow me to make a $78000 mistake on my state tax form. Fortunately something didn’t look right to me and I researched the issue on my own before submitting.
It’s really easy to use and it’s nice to have the peace of mind that it guarantees you the maximum refund and does an audit before it sends the returns in!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
Accurate, dependable, and so easy to use. One need not worry about IRS rules, the H&R Block program will accurately make all the decisions in accordance with the rules. Same with State returns.
