Very decent product.  Needs improved integration with State tax forms.  Does not include free e-file for State tax.

These work perfect for going around my files, especially during tax season, and strong enough to work well for my needs.

I would have to say that now days you don't need to buy this software since you can access it for free online.
That being said, if you make more than the maximum allowed for free taxes than this is a great alternative. It walks you through the process and appears to be accurate. Some of the questions asked during the filing process seem redundant, to say the least, so you still should have a decent understanding of how taxes work.

I've been using this since it was first known as Tax Cut. It has all the forms to accommodate a couple of salaries plus Schedule C for a home-based business. Every year it imports last year's info and lets me edit anything necessary before stepping through the process. By going through the steps, the software reminds you of some useful paperwork you might have forgotten is deductible. (last year's personal property taxes you paid?) I think most families have as much paperwork these days as a small business, and H&R Block At Home helps you make sense of it when tax time comes.

I purchased the download from Amazon for the second year in a row, and the only issue I had was the download hanging. That's because it was trying to have me download the Amazon installer, which I already had on my computer. Stopping the download and starting the Amazon software let me download the program. Amazon may want to fix that issue.

I have been using it for 2 years and satisfied with it. The only thing is if you purchase the IRS protection/defense and change your mind later before submitting the form---the software changes the total amount charged to zero for audit defense but it actually was already deducted in your total refund.. Its one of the glitches that they need to fix. I say don't click the audit defense if you are not sure that you want it. Research about it first before clicking it. Turbo tax, pls fix your audit defense link. But the rest of the software assistance is nice. I don't like their online support and don't use it. If you are willing to work on your own without bothering customer support when you need help, this is perfect for you. I resolved all questions on my own because it is difficult to access personalized assistance. This is for techo savvy---or intermediate users only. Grandmas/grandpas who have naive computer and tax skills must not use this product. You still need to have a good background with computers and with tax laws.

I have a relatively simple situation that repeats each year, so I usually just do my own.  This year I decided to give this program a try when it was a gold box offer and in the end, I was impressed.  I bought the boxed version.  It installed easily.  It took a few minutes to figure out how to navigate, but not bad.  Entering my information was a breeze.  I really appreciated the little help boxes that I could click on to find out about a particular thing I was working on, eg. what was eligible for a deduction or credit or why the program did something.  I actually calculated my taxes by hand first to see how well I did.  For federal, it was pretty close.  For the state, the program alerted me to a credit I would have never found, especially as the state now does everything by pdf and who can read the whole instructions that way?  So this program got me almost $600 by catching that credit. Needless to say, I'm very happy.  After all was entered, the program checked the returns for a number of parameters (including audit risk) and then walked me through e-filing for both the state and federal.  It offered to print a reminder so that I wouldn't forget to include the state's add-on donations as charitable deductions next year, which is easy to forget.  It seems to be a well thought-out program that is very user-friendly. I will use this program in the future.

Update 2015.  Turns out I won't be using it again. The 2013TY version made a mistake (it changed a value back to an incorrect default when I reviewed the document.  Fortunately I caught it in time. I was able to reproduce the problem, confirming that it wasn't due to my being careless).  Even worse, using the software I made a mistake that IRS caught a year later.  The amount I underpaid was significant to me.  I would have had to pay it anyway, whether at the time of filing or as it turned out a year later, but it was shocking to get the notice (and penalty, though it wasn't so much).  Fortunately (?) my income the following year was much less so it didn't matter that I should have adjusted my withholding.  I'm going back to using a calculator and reading the IRS documents.

I have used TurboTax Premier for several years and love it. My husband and I have several investment and banking accounts along with several rental properties. And even though we live in Texas without a state income tax, we must file nonresident returns for Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. TurboTax does the job for us with a couple of kinks in the Oklahoma software program (which other TurboTax users have also experienced). TurboTax has not resolved the kinks in three years, but I found a workaround. With that exception, I recommend this product.

I have a full-time tech job as well as a part-time real estate business on the side and this tax software helped me sort out my income and expenses from both to maximize my return.  Been using H&R Block for the past 10 years and I love it.  Tax returns are so easy and with the e-file, I got my return back within a week.  P.S. More than one user so definitely worth the money.  When i'm done with my return, I pass it on to my sister and brother.

My taxes aren't overly complicated, but the H&R Block tax software has worked for me over the years. Reasonably priced too.

Since I have only used turbotax to file my returns for as long as I can remember, I am sad that this product decided to push me away this year. Fortunately I have found another option that is cheaper and provides the features I need so I can file my taxes. I found H & R Block deluxe, it does import last years turbotax return, so this was an easy transition. The H & R Block interface is fine and seems to be asking the same questions Turbotax always did. I'm not sure why I didn't shop alternatives sooner, but thank you Turbotax for getting me off my lazy behind - you saved me money again this year!

I bought this in April and wanted to spend some time with it before reviewing. I am a teacher - I use word constantly, powerpoint is a mainstay, and excel is a pretty regular application as well. I don't use publisher terribly often, but when I need it, I really, really am happy I have it.

For the subscription, I have 5 licenses to use - this is more than enough for my wife and I. The online apps load smoothly - even on my old and somewhat cranky laptop. You can download the applications locally, but I find using the online versions and onedrive works quite well. I DID download the local apps on my primary laptop and my wife's - just in case we don't have wifi access (a rarity these days).

I am a fan of onedrive and even happier that I have a terabyte of storage on their cloud. I have never had a problem accessing my folders and files (though I still carry my portable hard drive and kept it backed up on a regular basis - when wifi isn't available is when the principal is going to want some doc or spreadsheet right then and there...).

I would have given this another star but I am not loving that I can't use mobile office on my Nexus 7. I don't know if this is Google or Microsoft being petty, but it's pretty annoying. I can still access my files and use the online versions of the productivity apps, so this isn't a total wash. While the apps are limited, I honestly don't do a lot of work on the tablet that requires a degree of sophistication. For the short document or run and gun powerpoint, the app is fine.

The subscription also means that I will not have to worry about upgrading - I just pay my monthly fee. My bride and I are both professionals who use productivity software every day. Office 365 makes it quick, easy, convenient, and - so far - reliable.

I used H&R Block software this year and last year to file both federal and state taxes. I thought Taxcut software from last year was easier to understand and use, but this years "at Home Deluxe" software gets the job done. No real complaints.
