I used this product last year and it worked fine except for one minor glitch. That problem had to do with inputting my initial contact information (name, address, etc.) The program would not allow you to use the delete button. You could get past this, and everything else worked fine. No problem with State or electronic filing.
I think the 2007 software is better (the problem described above is fixed). I used to use Turbo Tax, but they got too pricey. HR Block is about where Turbo Tax was in looks three years ago, so they are catching up fast. I was impressed with Turbo back then, so I'm fine with HR Block being a bit less behind with bells and whistles but costing less and throwing in free e-filing. It also includes their program Deduction Finder, something that can save you $$$ if you use deductions, and also you get some free time with HR Block tax specialists if necessary.
I am not gifted in math or tax law, and I find this program very easy to use. The questions are to the point, and the help feature actually answers most of my questions. I showed this to my Dad, who likes to do his taxes by hand himself, and he is actually considering purchasing it. Even if he doesn't, just considering it is a strong endorsement as far as I'm concerned.
For those concerned about the price, check each day. I've seen the discounted price go as low as 49.99, but it changes on a daily basis. Some of the amazon sellers have gone as low as 32.00, too. The comparable TurboTax Premier Federal + State 2007 costs $67.99 and does not include e-filing or the separate program, Deduction Finder.
Bottom line is that it gets the job done, is backed by HR Block (they also throw in some audit protection for free), and it costs less than Turbo Tax. So if using a product just a little behind in terms of fancy stuff is not a big deal, then I think this product will fit the bill.
 Following intuit's steps...in the wrong direction January 14, 2008

Like another reviewer I switched from turbotax a few years back when they added a copy protection issue that basically meant I couldn't run my Turbotax disk from a second computer down the road if I wanted to. I haven't needed to do this, but still it pissed me off and I don't support this kind of behavior. So I went to taxcut. As far as I'm concerned, the products are exactly the same. They ask you questions and have you put info in that is tax related. Duh. Guess what? They are just programming rules based on the tax code. Unless one company makes a big snafu, they SHOULD be just about identical because the tax code is the same for everybody.
As software, i loved both taxcut and turbotax. They get the job done and done well. But...I can't support this massive increase in price by taxcut. I hate it when companies do this! All of the sudden, with an increased user base and increased sales and an absolute minimal amount of additional software engineering, they jack the price. All this stuff does is ask questions and fill in forms...the rules have already been made by the IRS...this is cake from a software development standpoint. And this costs how much???
I was happy to ditch "the man" (intuit) for taxcut. Now taxcut is the man. I mean, if I'm going to pay the same thing, then I might as well get the established industry leader, turbotax. I think they reversed their policy on the copy protection, so maybe I'll reward them with my business...and if I go to the trouble of moving my data back to turbotax, then taxcut can kiss me goodby for a while...
Price increase??! What the Heck! January 6, 2008

What is with the price increase? ... I paid $49.95 for this same item at this same time last year and now it is selling for $12+ more?? Unless the price comes down, I will be using another software for my tax returns. Thanks H&R!
 Huge price increase for average software January 14, 2008

I agree with other comments about the significant price increase that H&R put forth this year. I've used TaxCut for several years now, ever since Intuit tried to put some copy protection on their similar tax product a few years back. My sense is that both TurboTax and TaxCut are neck and neck, and for most of us, neither has a significant advantage over the other. Both products, regrettably, require me to proceed through my tax return in a particular order and not jump around to partially complete different parts of my return as I retrieve information.
My return is really pretty simple and, based on the jump in prices this year, I'm thinking that it is time to revert to completing my return on the IRS forms this year and mailing them in. It's just not worth $60 for the privilege of completing my return in their step-by-step approach.
 Price gouging? January 8, 2008

Unless I can find this on sale closer to last years price, I will be using another competitors tax preparation software. Th price for e-filing both federal and state returns is $20 higher this year than last year. Shame on you!!
