Overtime Income. The interview/program assumes overtime income is reported on the W2. There is no way to make entries for overtime income NOT reported on a W2. In order to be able to claim the deduction for Overtime income you have to in effect lie by stating that it is reported on the W2. On a 1099-R Box 2A (Taxable Amount) was blank and box 2B (Taxable Amount not determined) was checked. I entered o for box 2A. Although there was a question during the interview asking to enter the taxable amount I think there should have been an alert during the accuracy review to question again if there was a taxable amount. Finally, when I tried to submit a review directly from the program I receieved an error stating to answer all questions which I had done.

2024 taxes submitted; however, my taxes never fully submitted to federal. I ended up paying late fees and trying to resolve the issue for many hours. 2025 submitted; however HR block, for the first time ever, wouldn’t efile to Utah. I had to go through another system to file. HR Block has gone downhill the past two years.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve been using HR Block software for years. As in prior years, it gave the option to receive a Fed. refund by check, which I chose. This was the beginning of my trouble. The Govt. Phased out check refunds Sept. 30, 2025.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall. While we aim for 5-star satisfaction, we understand that there may be areas where we can improve. We appreciate your business and value your input.
This is now the 15th year I've used H&R Block's software to prepare my taxes. As always, the software is extremely easy to use, especially for someone that first learned to do their taxes by following the line-by-line Federal and state income tax return instructions. The software has plenty of helpful information in it, & links directly to the appropriate IRS and state FAQs and instructions if you need additional information.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
