For the first time ever, in using this software, I had to pay a penalty for my Ohio state income tax, because H&R Block Deluxe calculated my quarterly tax payments too low in 2021. It calculated it too low again this year, but I was wise enough to override its recommendation. If you cannot trust the software's calculations, how can you trust using it? After over 20 years of using TaxCut/H&R Block, I will switch to TurboTax.
I've been using H&R Block tax software for years. It's easy to use. I trust the results and the ease to send my returns electronically, usually getting my refund within two weeks.
Have used H&R Deluxe for 15 years to successfully handle a variety of tax issues - including rental property income, IRA and 403b distributions, losses due to special-provision storm damage, sale of residence, variety of charitable contributions, AMT, etc.
Although i was satisfied with the Federal software, i was very frustrated that i was unable to file my Maryland returns electronically for two years in a row! It was bad enough last yeat, but the glitch wasn't fixed a year later was unconscionable.
I have used H&R Block Software for over ten years and have been pleased the ease of use and the accuracy of reporting, with all of the last minute updates from the IRS.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
