Best Tax Software for 2016 Returns?

I'm ready to stop giving a tax service $1500+ to do my taxes. It's too much of a racket, they're not always done right anyway. I'd like to attempt to do them with software this time. Other than it just being a pain in the ass, what other advantage is there to use a tax service? The shitty ones don't even use certified accountants anyway.

The software I've heard most about is obviously Turbo Tax. I'm not looking at the most basic tax software like Tax Slayer or Tax Act or whatever. I would probably need at least the Turbo Tax Home & Business. I have rental properties, lots of home interest to deduct, gambling income but I file as a pro (which seems to confuse everybody & nobody has ever done it the same), technically small business income w/ probably very few deductions (do not have an LLC even though live in KS so I'm probably a dumbass), used an HSA. Hopefully using a tax software will easily help me find deductions etc.

So, what do you guys believe to be the best tax software to use?

Turbo tax?
H&R Block?
Tax Act premium?
Jackson Hewitt online?
Any others etc

yes, if you only use 1040ez or i think if your income is below something like 50k

H&R Block here. It's really easy and the great thing is that when you use it for the next year it easily pulls all of the information from the previous year such as personal info, agi, work info from the W-2, etc. I did my taxes in about 20 minutes this year.

They have tips and explanations for each area and if you need to actually talk with someone that is free as well, but I haven't tried that service.

It does well on itemized deductions, gives a place to report gambling income, and just makes navigating the sections easy. You can always go back and change things. I also like how it tracks your refund or what you owe as you go so that you can see exactly when your amounts change so you have a good idea of why that refund changed.

Good info. Think I'll give it a try this year. It will be $70 well spent.

If you want to efile to KS that'll be another 30 or 35 on TurboTax. You can print and send it but I'm lazy.

I've used Turbo and Free Tax USA. Either one has worked well.

Turbo Tax here too. Regular job, investment income, rentals in two states, sale of a second home, and one year I worked out of the country. It handled all of it very well. The one thing I have to do outside of it is the Kansas City earnings tax for my one rental there.

Turbo Tax here as well. Shit is so easy.

I couldn't figure out when my brokerage account released 1099 forms, so I typed the company name in and it gave me the date. The date I couldn't find on the actual company's website!
