Verified Purchase:Yes
Had to override how many day I was a resident of NY. Program did not allow any other way to enter the needed number. Otherwise good enough for what was needed.
Cons: Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

Itemized deductions
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: bill 37
from Los Angeles, CA
I entered three itemized items before I decided to use the standard deduction. AT the time of e-filing the software said I had an error because after I chose standard deduction I still had the three itemized left in the software, so I had to go back and remove each of the three form the program before I could file. Please fix before next year
Pros: Easy to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worthless Software
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: TacomaKim
from Tacoma, WA
I've been a longtime user of H&R Block/TaxCut software. I'm trying to file my taxes by today's deadline and it's a confusing mess. First a series of "bad gateway" error messages. Then messages indicating I filed my federal return successfully even though the software still lists the status as not filed. Then an email saying the IRS has rejected my return and I need to correct the error, but the program still lists the status as not filed and there is no error to fix. Now when I open the software I see a message that acknowledges the e-filing problem and tells me to try again later or print and mail my return. What a joke. I paid for software to prepare and e-files my taxes and it doesn't even work. Never again!
Pros: Easy to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Non functional and dangerous

In 2024, filing 2023 taxes, the product did not work due to errors in HR Block's servers, and I was unable to file my taxes e-file through the product.
Cons: Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Never go with H&R Block
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: AllConcerned
from DC
2023 Tax returns and their system has been out for 14 hours! Poor communication to customers. Outage caused myself and others to attempt to create returns using forms to submit to e-file. Others had to take off work to run around and try to print and mail their paperwork.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's ok
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: The Original Someone Else
from A Western state
I've used this software for several years in a row now and it's ok, not great. It's kind of weird in some ways.
1) There is no way at all to see your actual finished tax return inside the software. Sure, you can click on Forms and select 1040 but what you get is a lengthy working copy of the 1040 with a bunch of extra stuff on it and not what the actual form 1040 will look like. You have to print a hard copy of the return or print it to a PDF to see the actual completed form.
2) At the end when you run the Final Review, if everything looks good the software will display the message Maximum Refund Guaranteed! even when you owe money. So it's like the software developer hasn't even bothered to look at everything the software is doing.
3) Verification of e-filing a return can be quirky. For example this time I got an email that my return was rejected so I went back into the software, checked the status which showed "rejected", and then looked at the rejection report. I fixed the error and resent it. About 10 minutes later I got a new email from H&R saying my return had been accepted by the IRS and to check the status in the tax software. However, the status will no longer update in the softwate. Click on Check Status and it either runs and runs for several minutes and then freezes up or displays a messgae that "your software" (ha ha, not mine it's H&R Block's) cannot connect to the server. The time of day doesn't seem to matter. Morning, noon, or evening it says the same thing.
4) There is not a function to print an envelope. That would be nice to be able to print the IRS or state address and your return address on an envelope. Especially since that info is already contained within the software.
5) When something needs to be updated in the software, like for the Federal return, H&R Block doesn't tell you what's in the update. Is it a bug fix? Was something not calculating or totaling correctly? Is it something minor that will not affect my 26 page tax return that I just completed and printed out four days ago?
6) Other. Even after I buy and register the software, H&R Block will keep sending me emails trying to entice me to buy their software. I mean, that does not inspire a lot of confidence in their software programming ability if they can't get this part right.

Fortunately, neither the IRS nor my state have found problems with my successfully completed returns I've sent in. So that's certainly a plus for H&R Block. If this were an issue I wouldn't be using their software at all.
As far as recommending the software to a freind (a question to complete this review form), I'm going to check Yes since yes and no are the only choices. But I would tell a friend it's good but try other software too and see what they like best.
I would recommend this to a friend!
