I skipped a couple of years because of the bugs in the last version I tried (2012). I hated 2012 so much I stopped using it in 3 months and uninstalled it.
2015 still has GUI issues throughout the entire application. I am a software developer, so these things stand out really bad. It is a shame they cannot fix any of them in 3 years.
The worst though is I am still seeing the same problem with synchronizing my main bank account.

I have had a couple of different versions of Quicken over my life. My last was version 2012 and I hated it. Every time I would sync my checking account, I had to reconcile since it typically missed pulling in things. When it missed a few, it became cumbersome to even want to use it, so I uninstalled.
Now version 2013. I was happy that setting up accounts was even easier with this version.

Used HR Block/ tax cut for years. Great product that gives a good preview and allows either sending forms or Efiling.

Used Taxcut - now HR Block and HR Block for many years and always saved lots of time looking up forms and figuring what was needed. Easy to use and latest rules included. HR Block software is a winner but hope we get a flat tax or fair tax scheme in the USA.

Used TAXCUT/HR Block over 15 years. Quite nice software for an average taxpayer. Upon downloading had to ask HR BLock to assist in bringing software up to date. Easily done but the savings in price did come with need on my part for extra work. First time that happened with Amazon software though.

A convenient and more economical software to allow tax preparation. Been using for 15 + years. Tried Turbotax once when computers were very primitive (IBM AT Type)and it over loaded the processor so went to TAXCUT, the forerunner of HRBlock and been happy ever since. Besides Turbo was quite a bit more expensive. Handles schedules C & D well and provides state returns in this package. So filing federal gets the state done too.

All,nnPlease read the full review by Robert Sweed (see 1st paragrpah copied below). I had the same problem, but didn’t realize that Quicken Deluxe was the cause - and went into diagnostic mode with Symantec. Intuit support is horrendous and doesn’t take responsibility for their problem. The fact that the problem is unresolved in R11 is appalling. I’m on now with an Intuit supervisor who denies the problem and says they test everything and offers no help whatsover.

used H&R for several years. Far cheaper than buying turbo personal and turbo business if you run an S corp. Mostly seems to work well, but some issues. H&R does not auto file in Mass so you have to pay a $100 fine, since efiling is requires. It’s still a better value than Turbo Tax. I think about switching back every year, but stay with HR.

Well, they got us - if you have more than 1 device, no choice but to subscribe - Bill Gates now has his straw firmly into our wallets. That said, subscription price is good for 5 devices, no more licensing issues - downloads and validation are fine - and lots of good collaboration factors. At least the monopoly is offering a good product with good value at this time - we’ll see how that plays out over time.

Generally happy with HR Block - much cheaper than TurboTax if you have an S corp - but no efile for state which is costly for me, and some quality problems - support has been ok. I’ve used it for years and will continue.
