I live in Texas for 2025, which has no state income tax. Thus software should have let me add sales tax deduction. Instead I had to manually go to the sales tax deduction section
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for all the efforts to offer additional information and explanations. Still some work to be done, especially in the setup and beginning of the program. Did manage to work it all out. Much better for the conclusion and print outs and electronic filing.Would recommend for price and possible help and audit assistance.

The software has bugs, specificaly when W-2 amount is low so no taxes were taken it always report ir as error. If SDI amount on W-2 is zero it show critical error that has to be fixed which does not make sense.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the first time that I have used an H&R Block product for tax preparation and I wonder why I waited so long. I was generally pleased with the Deluxe 2025 software except for several issues with 1099-B data entry, due to rounding, and 1099-R data entry due to error checking.
My 1099-B issues occurred because all inputs are rounded on data entry, computations are performed using those rounded values, and calculations are performed (sale price less cost/basis), and comparisons are made (wash sale). On more than one instance, this resulted in wash sale greater than calculated profit for single sales.
The 1099-R issue was because gross distribution (1) was different than taxable amount (2a) and taxable amount was correctly used for the state distribution on the form, but error checking appeared to want gross distribution used as state distribution.

Good overall - however - 1. Both the 2024 and 2025 Deluxe and State Windows desktop versions used an incorrect sales tax rate for the City of Milwaukee in the State of Wisconsin questionnaire, which comes into play in the calculation of Use Tax on out-of-state purchases. It should be 2.0%, not 0.2%. It's greyed out, so it's not changeable. Not a huge deal to make an adjustment, but it's annoying that they can't get it right. 2. For 1099-INT import of Consolidated Brokerage Report, I couldn't find a way to enter both Line 12 Bond Premium on Treasury Obligations and also Taxable Accrued Treasury Interest Paid (from the notes) to subtract both from reported Interest Income in the same Federal return. It seems you have to choose one or the other.

I've been using HR Block Deluxe for over 15 years, but this year was probably the last time. When I tried to import financial data from Merrill Lynch and Wealthfront, neither of them were available to select. Therefore, I had to spend many hours manually inputting all transactions. Otherwise the software is great, but it's supposed to safe me time, not cause me more work.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
