Tax returns rejected due to needed H & R update.

It was very frustrating to have returns rejected due to an update needed for H & R software. If there was a needed update, I don’t think H & R software should let you efile until update was done. Update fixed whatever problem there was, but very frustrating to have to resubmit returns.

Debatable questions

Bought software download. First download was flawed in some way and would not load. Had to contact Block to get another download that did work. It would have been much easier if they just gave you a disk. I really do not like this method
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as intuitive as last years

Last years H&R was very simple to navigate. This year's version was apparently totally different and not intuitive. I had to reenter quite a bit of information twice because it was in the wrong location. For next year, I kind of now stuck with this product.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

H&R Block Deluxe + State is one of the few programs that recognized that I need to file a part-year resident and non-resident Maryland income tax returns. Unfortunately, the Arizona state software has an error in the part-year resident form that has not been fixed with one month before the filing deadline.

Some confusion, but otherwise excellent.

I am a retired US soldier with a small VA disability monthly disbursement. This is non taxable income but I was unable to locate that specifically in the HRB documents in the online 1040. Also, in the State/Local sales tax section it asks for non-taxable income. A reasonable request considering where it was requested but, again, no specific VA compensation mentioned nor referred to. I was finally able to get a yes answer from the VA website that the income was non taxable, but it took about two hours of being handed from one dept. to another and made the completion of my 1040 a longer task than necessary. Might I suggest that you include specific reference to VA disability pay in the Q&A segments of your online directions? Thanks!!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents
I would recommend this to a friend!

First & foremost, for the first time ever in using H&R Block for several years, the IRS rejected the efiled return. Why? Because of a bug in H&R Block efile software! Return was submitted 3/12 & I wasn't notified of rejection by H&R Block until 3/17, thereby delaying my refund an extra 5 days.
Second & noticeably even more frustrating was the experience of doing CA return for the first time, since moving from FL to CA last year. H&R Block offers absolutely NO support in the software for determining how to enter values such as interest and dividends taxable in CA. It imports values from federal return & indicates they've been updated based on "California law" then expects you to figure out where the value (which is NOT a straight match to any one value in the federal return) came from in order to assess it for how much is taxable in CA. There's nowhere to click to determine how H&R Block came up with the value. This happened on several screens. I "think" I finally figured out what values made up H&R Block's numbers after spending a ridiculous amount of time with it. At this point, I'm afraid to submit my CA return.
Third, referring back to the rejection of federal return, instructions are to update the program so that I can re-efile. However, I've been waiting 45 minutes for H&R Block Updater which gives me message "Waiting on the program to quit..." & isn't going anywhere. I tried closing the return, reopening & requesting update again but still waiting on program to quit.
Doesn't look like I'll be using this software next year...
