I ordered my HR Block Federal plus State Tax Return disk in January and proceeded to prepare my return. I completed both the Federal and State returns in early February, but was not able to file them because two alerts that needed checking and verification first. However, the updates were not released by the IRS until Feb. 27. I downloaded the update and proceeded to recalculate my return and found the alert had been corrected and I could proceed to finish and file my return.
Cons: Hard to prepare

I have used this product for many years and this is the first time I had a negative review. It is very surprising to me that the product was released with the update functionality not working. And it still does not work. That should just simply work and you should not have to use a workaround. When doing my taxes I found some of the guidance lacked precise guidance and was unhelpful. I am not sure what changed at the company but the product did not meet the standard that had previously been set.

I have been using this for many years. The only issue I had this year was with the mistake checker. It kept telling me I had possible errors. I checked them, reentered the right numbers, but they would NOT go away. Filed anyway.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents

I used the Federal Deluxe version only. I was not able to file my return until Feb 27 due to an update that was not made available by IRS. There was no explanation on the IRS web page and not info on HRB so I waited. THis is the last time I use the product.
Pros: Easy to import documents
Cons: Time consuming

Works pretty flawlessly - carries over numbers from previous years. Sometimes the explanations on the audit check before submission is a little confusing - since you go through this multiple times as you prepare, you ought to be able to 'clear' the ones you are sure of so they don't keep popping up for review - like zero ss tax collected on earnings - I don't know why my employer shows this on my W2, but it truely happens in my situation, so it would be nice for me to confirm it and then not see again. Also could use some better explanations as to 'why' - like I did not get a tax deduction for interest on a new car bought before the end of the year - my AGI was 210,000, just 10,000 into the phase out territory of 250,000, but I was not allowed my deduction of $175 - it looks like the calc was saying that I needed more than $2000 in interest to get a deduction ($2175 in interest would have gotten me a $175 deduction). I don't think this is the way most people are thinking it would work yet nothing in the software pointed me to how the IRS expected the calculation to be applied.

Based on good past experience, I again used HRB for 2025. My taxes are simple, but i draw comfort from having an 'expert' service backstop my 'pencil' draft return. I also like having a full service shop 'backstop' coordinated Fed & State efiling. The 'comfort' is worth the 'cost'. In the end 2025 filing was successful - but not without a few frustrating last-minute glitches.
