I have used the H&R Block tax software for several years and have been very satisfied with it. I have a concern with the way the software works for the State of Michigan tax return, beginning with the 2023 tax year. A law passed in February 2024 which provides retirees with tax relief on their retirement benefits, such as pension and IRA payments reported on a 1099-R. I failed to enter the distribution type (private) for my retirement and pension benefits and did not get the proper subtraction to income that I was allowed. Not selecting that distribution type should have shown as an error in the software, but it did not. I also suggest the software should provide a "What's New" overview for the Federal return and whichever state that you select, so you can see, at a glance, what new laws may impact your own tax situation.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Program generally is good, but it could be better. For example, if you’re already paying extra for a state program, at least 1 state eFile should be included at no additional cost. Also, the SC state program is missing a crucial form TC-1 for certain tax credits. You can get it from the state, but you’re not able to file the state return online since that missing form must accompany your return.

I've been using the H & R Block tax software for about 25 years now, I find it to be the most thorough and user friendly tax software product available. After completing the program, I am extremely confident that not only are all forms properly completed, but that I am getting the maximum tax benefits.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming

Program helps but it overly complex and sometimes not very handy.

I've used the H&R Block Deluxe software for years. I felt that it was initially easy to use to complete a return. But what I most like now is how the program transfers pertinent information from the previous year. This makes completing my return very simple and quick. Plus, completing the state return is a snap, with the program transferring data from the federal to the state return. I will definitely continue to use this program in future years.
