Used this for many years and during this time it has dealt with every situation that I had, be it investment, deduction, credit, etc. Easy to use, consistent in its user interface and cheap, I can find no downside to it. I don't care about the claim that it maximizes refund, it is up to the preparer to know what to claim, but it DOES suggest during the interview avenues that might be overlooked if you are in a first time situation.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to fix issues, Easy to prepare, Easy to import, Fast
I've been using this software since 2002. Each year it improves. The federal program is very accurate. The only drawback is that occasionally there are minor discrepancies in the state program (ie wrong line referenced). I will continue to use this software.
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
I NEVER DO TAXES WITHOUT H$R BLOCK SOFTWARE. THE FIRST TIME I USED THEM I RECIEVED BACK $21.00 MORE DOLLARS BACK THAN WHAT I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IF I WOULD HAVE FILED WITH THE PAPERS FILLED OUT WITH THE LOCAL COMPETITORS TAX OFFICE AND HAVE BEEN USING H&R BLOCK EVERY SINCE
