I had been using TurboTax for years, but last year they had a problem with certain state returns, and I didn't want to take a chance. Of course, their pricing was quite high. Then I did some comparisons, and H&R Block looked good, so I used that.

I remember when TT was cheap, and I paid a little more for the state. Now there are charges all over the place, but H&R is still less expensive, and I have the info from last year, so it will transfer over. Although theoretically, tax prep costs are deductible, they have to be higher than a certain percentage of your income. Unless you make very little and pay a lot for tax prep, there is no deduction for the tax preparation expense.

I know you can't avoid death and taxes, but I'm doing okay with half of that.
