I have been using this for over 20 years and find it the best for all my circumstances. Added a business gig and it helped me do it right and saved on taxes.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had trouble with program not updating figures after making changes, even when I used the recalculate button. Closing program and restarting finally worked. Just found the back and forth of trying to bring up forms heavy handed. Trouble printing return before it was filed. The only reason I would use it again is because it costs so much less than competitor.
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've used H&R Block for years. The "Jump to Related" never seems to work as easily as it should, and was VERY disappointed when I couldn't eFile my Federal Returns on April 14 and April 15. Running to the library to print the returns and post office to mail them was very inconvenient when I paid for an easier option.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product was so bad for my tax situation that I am in the process of returning it, and has ZERO tax assistance. Taxes are already frustrating enough--you don't need this software to make it worse. This software has no ability to file married jointly for federal, and different state returns if spouses have different state residencies. The software instructs you to create three returns, and file each one individually, but then makes assumptions on the State returns that makes your numbers wrong, AND won't let you e-file the state return, so you have to mail it in. There is no way around this. Additionally, there is NO tax help, only "software support" which is for like "how do I install my software". The support desk didn't even understand my situation and took 45 mins just to tell me they "couldn't find an answer". I had to essentially learn the tax code myself and double-check all the software's automatic work (I found errors!). Finally, the interface looks like it's from the 90s. I'm switching to TurboTax next year, it is very much worth the money.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good product but failed during federal e-filing. Also, at least one state e-filing should be included.
Import of W2 & 1099 did not work for some cases

Used HR Block software for several years now. It has been a really good product. I especially like that you can import detailed data (1099s) regarding investments from the major investing companies.
Pros: Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have a relatively simple return, single W2, earning nonresident income from 2 other states, including rental and K-1. The software gets tells me stuff like 'go to the forms list and then click on this form' which could easily be an internal link to the form in question. Then when I get to the form in question it tells me that it has been automatically filled in, and I should go to the 'interview' if I want to modify it, otherwise I can no longer e-file. Needless to say, there is no way in the 'interview' to actually get the form correctly filled in. Basically, once you get to anything mildly complicated, like limiting deductions based on AMT or the like, you need to go and manually calculate and fill in multiple extra forms, which is exactly why you want tax software in the first place. In previous years this seemed to work, so hopefully it will be improved in future, otherwise I will have to back to the 'other' software package, which is now ridiculously overpriced (but might be worth it if I can actually use it)
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sufficed for filing my taxes but I don't think they've improved a single thing about this software in the last 8 years; they're just repackaging it every year to sell again. Also, my partner encountered significant issues with e-filing his taxes close to the tax deadline, and it turned out HR Block e-filing was just completely unavailable for 12 hours due to a maintenance issue on their part. Don't rely on it close to the deadline.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare
