I've been waiting almost 4 months now to get my refund from Oregon Dept. of Revenue! My 2021 was a simple return, & I used H&R Block to file electronically in hopes of receiving a prompt refund! OR Dept. of Revenue sent me a letter stating that they needed to see my W-2's/1099's. I only have 1099's...if they were going to need those items, why didn't H&R Block ask me to attach them to the return while I was preparing it! What a waste of money to use H&R Block software, plus spending extra money to have the return e-filed! Next year I'll just do a paper return & use the snail mail system...I also changed my Oregon withholding so that I won't need to wait for a refund for 2022!
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
i had a very difficult time with this. Granted, I am 71 and have little patience with computer that the developer should have worked out, but this program presented more problems than working the taxes out on paper, so that's what I did. Oh, and I had made a $1000 error on my taxes last year (using a different tax program) and I suspect, in trying to submit my taxes on line using H&R Block's program it tipped off the IRS to my error. They notified me immediately of the error. I can afford the back tax and hadn't intended to trim my liability, but if you fear auditing you might want to consider this.
Been using for years..maybe 10. Works great and easy to understand. Never been audited. Can't guarantee a refund, that depends on each individual's income/tax bracket. Includes any forms you may need and helpful tips.
Used a MacBook Pro that met the h&r bock tax program specs but had to wait literally 2-5 minutes to edit entries. Finally completed but way too time consuming.
Terminology is somewhat confusing. I use the software every year only because I don't want to go through the effort to change to another. The software is not horrible, the terms that are used are sorted out after awhile.
