I was one of the thousands of customers negatively affected by the efile outage on April 14 and April 15. This failure caused a serious hardship to file five paper copy returns. I will not feel confident until I receive confirmation that all returns have been received and successfully processed. I will be requesting a full refund and do not plan to use This product in the future.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The outage on tax day has this long long time customer saying goodbye. Zero communication anywhere about the issue forced me to do my taxes by hand in order to get them in on time. The hours I spent trying to figure out what “bad gateway” meant and then finding out it was on your end and you knew about it starting on the 14th and didn’t get it fixed until late on the 15th is unacceptable. No communication on your end.

Good Software, but Their Updates Broke the E-Filin

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, I love the H&R Block tax software. But when I went to file my taxes online on April 15, I am guessing that the update they pushed out earlier that day "broke" the ability for H&R Block to accept an e-filing. So I had to spend more money to mail a copy of my taxes to the IRS, just to get home later that night and the software suddenly worked again. Rather disappointing.
Pros: Easy to prepare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tried to file on weekend of 4/13. Their system was down. I tried repeatedly. Racked up dozens of filing charges on my credit card. System came up barely in time to file before 4/15 deadline.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents

I’ve used the HRB Deluxe package for many years! I’ve some experience years ago auditing state tax returns and recognized right away how thorough this program is. It has assisted me in filing taxes in a way that means I lose no sleep wondering if I caught up on the law changes or anything else. All the hard stuff is done for me and all the right questions asked to ensure an accurate filing. Thank you!
It's good. Hoping for an expanded interview for K-3. This came out as an expansion to K-1 a couple of years ago. Also, for choosing to flow income for "when earned". The "whole form" is overwhelming as it seems to become 4 more whole tax returns.
Nationwide outage on tax day was a huge blunder. Tried to submit my return literally for hours but ultimately had to print a hard copy. Wasted hours of my life. Tax software itself was fine. Have a big question if I will use it again.
Cons: Time consuming

The preparation work was fine, but the inability to file between Sunday night and Monday afternoon was not okay. Two stars instead of zero because it did submit Monday afternoon about 30 mins before I gave up and printed it off to mail in.
